So an update. I 2nd day shipped a bunch of crap to get this done.. *MAN thats costly*
I got some new GFO, Carbon, filtersocks, that Proclear from Kent marine and some mech filter pads. As well as a cheap chineese protein skimmer. And more salt..
Cost with shipping? 200 bucks.
Changed out everything that needed it, put the socks in place, added the filter pads and the skimmer. Mixed some salt in my 55 gallon barrel just in case..
Its now been 3 days and here is my tank now..
WhooHoo.. nearly clear again..but I have some damaged corals, lost 2 turbo snails.. and my RTBA's don't look too well. No fish died.
BTW they are a bitch to get working but the little cheap air driven skimmers on ebay for 37 bucks works ok, but it fills the cup about every 4 hours with water..
Now to go buy a REAL skimmer..
