The Aquarist Refuge

A great video example of drilling an aquarium to add a skimmer box. The end result looks like it will work well.

Over the last couple years, I’ve been on a continual algae battle with my 75 gallon aquarium. At times I had become discouraged, but I did not give up the battle. I continued to patiently try different techniques and methods that I thought might help curb the algae problem in my aquarium. My algae problem is gone, here’s what I learned.

I think I’ve officially topped my record for total amount of aquarium maintenance performed in one day. That’s hard to do after having an aquarium running for several years! What all did I do today?

This is a pretty popular protein skimmer, the AquaC Remora. It’s easy to find. It’s reliable and it’s priced well. Those are the obvious reasons why it’s so popular. I’ve had one running on my aquarium for at least 3 years now, what’s my opinion?
