Thanks for the very kind comments. It is very pleasing to hear that the very thing we are trying to achieve (help new aquarists by information in a simple format) is working. The sand sifter is a very useful fish, and interesting to watch. Unfortunately, some aquarists lose their fish in time because the sand bed cannot provide enough food. Perhaps there is a substitute diet that could be used. Glad you are enjoying the marine hobby. Hi Neil.

Yes, that's quite right about up to date skimmers - or at least some of them. Advanced aquarist are running them on timers so that the time they are on is controlled. However, for the new and low experience aquarists, it is still best to leave the skimmer on full time. <em>John's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AquaristsOnline/~3/244035332/' rel="nofollow">Keeping An Anemone</a></em> Thanks for the comments.

One thing I'd like to mention is with today's technology over-skimming is definitely possible and some skimmer's are now being rated appropriately. No matter what skimmer you decide to purchase research that model and look for educated user reviews. We'll be adding you guys to our blogroll, Keep up the good work. Cheers, e&f Nice write up John.
