This tank was upgraded to 15g in August 2006 from a 10g originally set-up in June 2004 (before I joined MR 
) It currently has 2 Seio 620s for flow and an AquaClear 110 filter, converted to a rubble station. Lighting is 175w Hamilton 14K on an ancient magnetic ballast. Skimming is handled by a Tunze DOC Nano skimmer. The skimmer is VERY sensitive to adjustments and barely pulls tea-colored skimmate :headache:, but it is dead silent (tank is in my bedroom). I do 5g (~33%) water changes every 2 weeks since I can't rely on the skimmer I've had the A. clarkii since Sept 2004 and it is the sole fish resident. The only testing I do at this time are temperature and salinity before a water change. :theyareon Nothing is dosed, which probably explains the lack of coralline algae.
