You get what you pay for in this hobby if your lucky anyway.

I was looking at the reef octopus 4 in sump skimmer. Thoughts??

 

[rich850]

its a good skimmer for a 55 in my opinion especially for the price tag

 

[rich850]

you can get a little more input from others in the lighting filtration and other equipment section of course there arent always objective answers because we are all on different budgets

Its in my near future plans to upgrade to around a 100 gallon tank

 

[rich850]

I would go with something bigger then maybe a 6 inch if that's the model you like

 

[rich850]

There are a ton of options though I have a couple skimmers on my 150 but on another tank I have a bubble magus skimmer body which is dirt cheap but it has a tunze hydrofoamer pump 9420 on it and its a beast of a skimmer

OK now I'm ****ed...I looked in my tank last night and my copper banded butterfly has white dots on his fins. Is this ich for sure? I've heard its a real b*tch to get rid of.

Yes, when the fish have visible ich, it is quite hard to return it to LFS.
Anemones does not get ich, so you should be able to return it easier.

For chelmon you do not meet tank size nor stability criteria.

I researched and found that a minimum tank size for the was 50 gallon

 

[cbenn08]

And I don't want to get rid of the fish...just the rich
