My FRT loves apples and romaine lettuce, the top of the tank gets full of lettuce waste.

Do you know of a skimmer I could get to help me clean the top surface of the tank?

Thanks
 
Why dont you get some silver dollars ? Or possibly some african mbuna although these arent as peaceful. They will happily eat any leftovers. There are a couple of other fish options too which get too large.

It will work if you put a separate filter with charcoal just for the skimming function. It does not provide enough flow for a fx5. You can DIY one that is similar in function.

Does anyone have a suggestions for a DIY that i could make?:grinno:

That sounds great! I love getting more fish instead of filters. But I think I am reaching my limit on how many fish are in the tank. :naughty:

Looking into more DIY skimmer that will not clog from lettuce bits. Is their a post for one that I have missed?

Thanks for your help.
