Hi everyone,
I've got a 75 gal with a 48 day old Bamboo Shark (hatched from an egg sack), a Tomato Clown, a Golden Head Goby, a Soldier Fish, a 4" clam, some mushrooms, and a duster. There is about 25 lbs of cured live rock with about 2.5 inches of substrate at the bottome. Is it possible to have such a small bio-load in the tank that the protein skimmer does not producte much foam/waste at all? The skimmer is a Titan driven by a Mag 5 and also got an Eheim Pro Wet/Dry along with an Eheim canister. The tank is about 6 month old and all equipments are all maintained and cleaned every month. The skimmer basically stoped producing foam (still shoots out a lot of bubbles from the venturi) about 3 weeks ago. Only dose calcium once a week. Can't figure out why, for the exception of a very small bio-load in the tank. BTW, I feed everyday, once a day. Does anyone else every experience this?
