• Resan 500 DMS - recommend a pen.

  • Daniel132

Good day, aquarists. I bought a Resun DMS 500 aquarium, 90 liters, with something like a built-in sump in the back wall. I plan to set it up soon, but I'm afraid the stock protein skimmer won't be sufficient (and it seems dead to me). Please advise what is better to buy in terms of protein skimmers, and are there external skimmers that can draw water from the compartment to the skimmer and then return it back to the compartment? A hang-on skimmer won't work for me as I have no place to hang it due to the lid. I look forward to your advice.

Where did you get the aquarium and how much did it cost?

What are the dimensions of the compartment? There is good sand for the nano reef.

I bought the aquarium at the AKVALIFE store. It cost about 2400 UAH with the stand, plus the stand was 400 UAH. I'll measure the compartment and let you know. ANDREY TKACH, is the sand live?

The prices for stones vary; there are 20 USD per kg and also 25. In general, we don't have stones here in Odessa, only prices and orders. You have to wait a lot of time for them to be delivered. I've been waiting for Osmos for 3 weeks now; it's tough. By the time I acquire all the equipment, I'll have a beard growing!)))

It's terrifying, the city is a port, big, but everything is so hard. Just think, in Zaporizhzhia it's not as stuffy and you can get almost everything, but that's thanks to literally three or four people, and even the last year has been easier.

Respect to Zaporizhzhia, it's just that everyone here is slow with the sea, or they charge outrageous prices. Recently, some guy from a store shocked me by trying to sell me a Perkullu Aquamedic for 2000 euros, and on top of that, it was by special order, with a month wait. I'm not a poor person, but I'm not going to spend money thoughtlessly. I prefer to pay for something I can touch and feel. It's easier for me to buy a plane ticket and get stones and all the accessories in Kyiv than to wait a whole month for something that may or may not arrive. I once ordered live sand from a store and waited three weeks, only to be told it wouldn't work out... that's how we live.

By the way, regarding the pump that goes to the foam maker, it not only supplies air but also works as a water pump, right? Yes, I agree about the sealing; I first sealed the lower openings.

All holes must be sealed except for the comb and the return for the pump. The pump for the skimmer supplies a mixture of air and water.

Where can I find this Ultra Slimline 700 liters in general?
