Hello,
im in the hobby for like 5 years now, i read a lot here, but dont write much anyway.
im 30 years and from germany so dont mind me with dimension im not so used to gallons etc, but i try my best.
this might be a bit longer please bear with me
I had 4 or 5 Tanks by now, first a used one, then ofc upgraded to a bigger one,
got a cube tank both about 60 Gallons, then a small one for a mantis shrimp i accidently owned with life rocks.
And now i only want one bigger, so i can add a few things i always wanted to keep (a yellow tang and a longnose hawkfish)
but my tank was too small for (or i didnt feel good keeping them in there).
I had 2 tanks with sumps and its okay but this time i dont want a sump, as i dont see to get them silent etc.
The aquarium will be 130 cm x 100 cm and 45 cm height (should be a about 150 gallon).
3 glass sides are white glass (so no green tint),
one not as i want to install some media filter for absorbers, my Tunze 9012 doc skimmer and some other things, also it points into the corner of my room.
this one side doesnt have an rim so i can install those, the other 3 side will have a 6 cm rim, my aquarium builder said with 15mm glass thatd be no problem,
as i got a few tanks from him, ill thrust him, there should be no issues.
Also i already got 2 Kessil AP 700 that i will use as lightning, there should be no issues in that aspect either.
skimmer: Tunze Doc Skimmer 9012
My question is, refill water, i need to keep a constant water level for the skimmer, i thought about getting a Tunze Osmolator Universal 3155.
even if its a bit expensive, but those magnets seem to hold it in place fine.
anyone knows how it is with water flow in main display, still working fine? or do you have other recommendations?
thats an issue as the skimmer might get damaged if water level gets too low (happened once, hat to replace a part)
As for water flow i like to add 2 maxspect gyre xf 330 or 350 1 on each 130 cm side. that should be enough for a good water current right?
thanks for reading this, hope it was understandable.
