So I did my first water change in over 3.5 months yesterday. recently had my wedding and was just to busy to do the proper work on my tank. when I checked the parameters before The water change they were as follows

Nitrate - 0
Phosphate - 0
Calcium - 420

how often does everyone else do water changes? my tank is a 60gallon ad has been running for 4 years.

Hi I have a 60 gallon tank which I recently removed the glass lid as I read this is better for the tank. Now I have fish jumping out.

Is there any benefit to not having a glass top on my tank? should I just put I back on?

Im currently sing an Ecotec radion o and its approximately 8 inches above the tank.

so I got a new skimmer last week and it was working ok But it was to deep in the water about 12 inches.
I got a stand built and know it sits at about 5.5 inches deep.

Manufature recomends 5-8 inches.

Could this be causing it to over flow?

I have it dialed all the way down both the air and the waterlevel. in the skimmer and its been over flowing for 24 hours st8 now

has anyone tryed these do they work I dont have space in my sump for biopelle reactor so If these work then its a great option for me.

So Ive had my tank for about 3 years now and I feed brineship and misys shrimp.
