Aye still using the Nyos 120, amazing and best skimmer ever owned, my only issue is the skimmer cup is rather small on the 120, giving on how much it pulls out keeps me busy

It's just had it 3 months bath in vingear, (looks like i just dug it out of the ground lol) whilst doing a dosing of Fluconazole in my system so not needed for a week or so.

No lol, all cleaned up now and ready to put back in on sunday, the fluconazole has had enough time to get well into my system.

Are the Nyos aquariums out yet?

What was you treating for?

Had to dose chemiclean on my tank last week red slime took over for some reason, have always had it in my fuge but it decided to go in a rampage. Fantastic stuff chemiclean.

Back to the skimmers tho, my deltec has been really wierd recently. The waterlevel keeps randomly going up and down, its like theres a problem with the controller. Unfortunatly this has the knock on effect of sucking in enough water that it sets off my tunze ato and then when it throws all the water back out it sets off the high level alarm.

Is driving me insane

rebel rebel · 22 Mar 2019 at 22:16

Do you use filter socks? They can mess up skimmers when you change them.

NoobCannon · 22 Mar 2019 at 22:22

No, i use a clarisea filter.

Its not a water tension problem i dont think, i just think the controller for some reason is starting to fail and is randomly increasing/decreasing the pump speed.

rebel rebel · 22 Mar 2019 at 22:27

Thats not good. I always thought Deltec were a quality brand.

NoobCannon · 22 Mar 2019 at 22:31

Everything breaks in the end i suppose!

Will have another play around with it this weeekend and see what happens, if it continues i might grab a quantom 120

rebel rebel · 22 Mar 2019 at 22:37

Yeah good brand apparently. If I was setting a tank up I'd be going with a Nyos.

I keep meaning to Pop into AAC, but then it'll be hard to resist the temptation to start again.

NoobCannon · 22 Mar 2019 at 22:50

Its worse for me, they are a 5 min walk from
My house so the temptations always there to go buy something lol.

Do you not keep a reef at the moment then?

rebel rebel · 22 Mar 2019 at 22:53

Nah I'm on dialysis and waiting for a transplant. Don't wanna set one up and then have to leave it unattended for an unknown amount of time.

NoobCannon · 22 Mar 2019 at 23:04

Sorry to hear that. Will be nice to get one up
And running when your recovered even if
To give you something to do!

GHA, i have high bio load and feed well, fluc sorts it out.

Won't go back to deltec after having a nyos, only thing you can hear in my tank is the fans on the radions.

Cheers dude, don't worry I'm planning on staying around for a long time.

Things change I've changed · 23 Mar 2019 at 17:04

Please can you tell me if my GF's stank is overstocked,

Fluval 240 litre aquarium

Currently changing 20/25% water bi-weekly.

Fish

11 Black Neon Tetra
13 Rummy Nose Tetra
5 Roberts Rose Tetra
5 Neon Tetra
5 Cory
2 Pleco
1 Harlequin

Personally I think she is at her limit but she keeps wanting to add more, can she get away with adding anymore?
