South Side Outdoor - Finally!!

[DeanT]

nice thing about the moonlight LED bar , is that it is in sync with the moon phase.
depending on moon phase, the bar is either on just for sunset, or throughout the night for full moon

 

[DeanT]

can someone ID this please , found it in my sump
is it okay , or must it go ??

 

[DubKorps]

Can't do harm in your sump dude......

 

[DeanT]

its alive , and moves like a lambo, need to know what it is .

 

[DubKorps]

A lambo snail

 

[belindamotion]

From here that looks like a Stomatella Snail...

Stomatella snails are beneficial for reef aquariums as they are herbivores that will help control micro algae growth.

Correct @belindamotion ..... Fasting is gettn me down .....

 

[DeanT]

@belindamotion
thanks for the post and the answer.
the link says that it mustnt be kept with 6 line wrasse, so do i just leave it in my sump, or take a chance in my tank ?

 

[DeanT]

any reason why a skimmer would go absolutely mad , skimming basic water , with nothing , and literally overflowing.
none of the settings have changed , but is seems to have lost its mind.
i cant turn it on , as it is stripping water out the tank , like an open tap.

 

[mornewil]

How the bubbles? Hows the air intake?
Didnt airline maybe come loose from the pump?

 

[DeanT]

checked everything sucking air , exhaust is open fully , and nothing blocking the intake.
basically producing water bubbles , that are overflowing my skimmer, but its pure water.

 

[mornewil]

Try lifting the skimmer a bit.
@DubKorps could maybe advise better as he was the previous owner of that skimmer
if im correct

I don't own a Wrasse but if I go according to the "standard norm"...I wouldn't chance it..I'm sure the snail will keep that sump nice and clean, if not you'r DT anymore..

 

[DeanT]

Will leaving it off overnight be a problem ?
Don't have any egg crate and getting irritated

Tanks slowly taking shape looking good. What type of LED is that you using for moonlights?

 

[DeanT]

@ayood
Profilux lightbar

 

[Ayoob]

Looks amazing. Is it blue or white? looking to add one as well.

 

[DeanT]

Has mixed colors
Does sunrise and moonlight
So you get red and yellow
Blue and white
Can be used for thunderstorms, sunrise,moonlight

 

[Ayoob]
