Reefboy tank swap sexy 34 solana

[E.intheC]

Did you stop using the skimmer? I know you mentioned it a few posts back. What does your water change schedule look like?

I have the JNS WS-1 skimmer and I'm very happy with it. No bubbles in the display at all.

Great looking tank by the way.

Thanks E.intheC,,water changes are every week,,i was thinking of getting that skimmer,i have a cpr bak pak on it now,,its ok ,,maybe i will get it thanks.

Eric where did you get the jns ws 1 from ? thanks

 

[E.intheC]

I got it from SoCal tropical fish outlet .com. I think they're the only company that carries it.

You will have to take part of the plastic (in the overflow chamber, the part that holds the sponge material) out. It won't fit otherwise.

Good luck man! Be careful with the plastic removal.

About that. Are you referring to the cover on the middle chamber of solana? If so how do we remove that?

 

[E.intheC]

If you're looking at the tank head-on, the intake chamber on the left hand side has plastic that holds a piece of foam. The plastic goes almost all the way to the bottom of the tank. You'll need to remove all of it. And that's not a fun process. Much easier if the tank is dry.

Oh not that what about the middle chamber where some insert the customer IN TaNk media basket would I need to cut that also or does it jus come out w some force? If I wanted to insert the media basket or make a fuge or something for example

 

[E.intheC]

That should be fine. I have a media basket running in my tank at the moment. Really you just need to remove the piece of plastic that I mentioned above. Everything else should be as-normal.

Idk my tank had a black piece with holes on it to prevent any sort of media rack to be inserted ill just get a hammer and chisel and get to work on that soon I guess

 

[reefboys]

thanks Eric,,the cpr skimmer is working out fine after i made some changes to it,,maybe down the road i'll do the switch and deal with the back chamber:groupflip

That piece should pop out on its own. Unless the different versions of Solana tanks are different (I think they're the same here but don't know for sure)...mine came out easily and the media basket fit no problem.
