[crazydante23]

Your trying to save electricity with a 250w halide? lol

 

[nahtanoj]

yeah, that thing is NOT going to be any cheaper, if anything more expensive due to heat.

[temec_lover]

nope and its running well! but i am getting a tunze nanoskimmer 9002.000 soon so i can start zeovit

 

[gemini]

Keep me updated on this, i am very interested to see how a tank with no filtration does in the long run.

 

[Dooly]

so youre not getting the starphire leemar?... thought you said you ordered it?...

 

[racinjason]

looks good so far, defiinetly need to get that skimmer. With no overflow you really need the skimmer to help oxygenate the water, i doubt the surface ripples will be enough. Also, that is a vrey small system to run Zeovit, you are going to need to be very diligent in keeping your alk stable or you are going to have issues. Keep us posted!

I've seen many skimmerless tanks that are thriving.

 

[racinjason]

Have you ever seen a Zeovit tank without a skimmer? Zeovit systems need very low nutrient levels. Also, like I said the skimmer will help oxygenate the water and improve the overall health of the tank. We have all seen aquariums without skimmers that doesn't mean it will work for all systems.

Are the wires to the MH electric taped?
