AquaC's

[SLAYCHILD]

Does anyone know where to get a AquaC Remora Protein Skimmer in San Antonio and how much are they running. I can find them on line for $170.00. Or does anyone know of a great one that is a hang-on for the back of a 20 gallon nano. Im also looking for a lighting system for my 20 gallon nano, any help on that would be helpfull also.

CB Pets carries the AquaC skimmers, they are just a little north of San Antonio off of 281. Give them a call and see if they have what you are looking for. Their number is in the Pet store listings link in the left column.

what about the CSS 65 I have heard some good things about how they skim. A hole cheaper too here is a link http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=ESU-33000&Category_Code=Superskimmer

Lighting depends on what you are going to be keeping tell us what you would like to keep and we can give better advice on lighting.

Anything!!!!!! SPS all the way down to live rock

To me that will be hard to do in such asmall tank with the different needs of different corals high light low light low flow high flow. Not to mention coral wars with toxins and other things. I will let others with more knowledge tackle this one but it will be difficult not saying impossible but difficult. You will have to create shade for low light corals and keep the high light up high. If this is the case then I would say a 4X24w T5 retro or fixture or MH. hth

What about the Current USA light system

[dwdenny]

heard that they are not that bad but I have no first hand experience with them at all. I was looking at getting one for my breeder tank but decided to go with T5 instead.

I have a CPR Bak Pak that works just as great for $65 if you are interested.

Has your tank been cycled? If you also need rock, I have some live rock that has been in my garage in a box because I don't have any more room for it in my current tank. I am willing to sell it for $3.50 a pound. Let me know.

Well i have a Current Usa Orgit on my 29 gallon so I guess I can go with one on my 20. Ya im interested in that CPR. Is it the filter one or just the skimmer. And the live rock. Dont you have to keep it in water. Its in the process of being cycled right now.

On my 37 gallon I had an Aqua C Remora, a hang on the back Aquafuge, and a 150W HQI DE Giesemann hanging over. That was an awesome little system.

Here's another option. Richard had a post a while back (the link below) about a now backpack style skimmer that uses a needle wheel instead of a regular venturi type and the prices are pretty nice. From my experience with other (and I state OTHER) needle wheels is they blow regular venturis out of the water.

The CPR is just the skimmer and yes and no to the rock. Some of it is in a bin in my garage in water and being skimmed and the rest of the rock that doesn't fit is in a box. This is why I asked if your tank had been cycled already. A buddy of mine once gave me some rock that is in my current tank that had sat outside his apartment in an empty container and I simply boiled it in a big pot and then cycled it in my current tank. The rock cycled just fine and is encrusted with corralline algae. Nothing bad happens to the rock if it is exposed to air other than any type of hitchhikers dying off.

Well im interested in that skimmer. Get a hold of me and Ill come get it on the 20th of January after 6pm sometime if thats good for you.
