-How many fishes in the tank?
-Which is sump water level, water change sump-tank?
thanks

Eric? Where are you?

oscar.millan · 03/11/2011, 11:12 AM

He's probably busy trimming all his corals. Understandable.

Thanks

Hi Haim,

I've the Basslet for more than 1 year. I feed dry pellets and seaweed to them once a day. Their survival rate is not high. It's better to purchase a few basslets at once to get them settle in the tank.

Hi reefkiter,

There is only one skimmer, which is the bk250. The kz revolution is the zeolite reactor for the zeolite filtration.

I've about 30 fishes in the tank.

The sump water volume is at about half of the sump size. I remove water from the main tank and refill water at the sump when water change.
