Hello, I was curious whether my skimmer is deep enough in chamber 1 based on these photos. Could someone let me know? Thanks!

How long does everyone think it should take to fill a proper skimmer cup? I think it would be a good gage of a skimmers proper sizing & tuning. What's everyone's opinion on this? Why?

Hey guys I am willing to upgrade my skimmer for my Red Sea Max Nano AIO. So, the space is kinda limited and I am wondering if there would fit a Tunze 9001? Not sure as I seem not to find any info about people upgrading the skimmer. For me the skimmer delivered with the AIO tank ifself is way...

I have a PLS-50 Elite II skimmer by CAD lights. The pump got busted recently and I can't find a replacement as it looks like the company is no longer in business. Are skimmer pumps with the pinwheels universal? I want to be sure the performance is the same. I love this skimmer, it does and...

Does anyone have experience with this skimmer? I can't seem to find any reviews online for it. It generally runs for about $200 dollars, and I am wondering if it will be enough to work on a well-stocked 75 gallon tank with a 30 gallon sump. I was looking at buying from AquaCave here...

Wanting to upgrade some stuff! Anyone selling a trident system to improve my monitoring, also looking to buy a Red Sea skimmer, ideally an RSK 600, but open to a RSK 300, also a salinity probe for Neptune,

So I am currently using the reef glass nano skimmer on my biocube 32, its been working pretty good and been collecting a decent amount of skimmate. Just wondering if anyone knowa how hight the bubbles are supposed to be in relation to the stopper, Im not even sure if it really matters because...

Hey guys, I still get micro bubbles from QQ3. I already have it for almost 2 days also my foam doesn’t look right I think. Any help to remove the microbubbles and set the skimmer the right way up…? Thanks

Hi everyone, Hope everyone’s doing great. Since it’s super cold outside, my house windows are closed up and my ph has dropped a lot. I am planning to add a nano skimmer to my 15 gallon reef tank. The skimmer I am planning is called the reef glass nano which is driven by an external air pump...

Hi everyone! I need some advice and this is the best place in the world for high quality reef advice, so please bear with me and thanks in advance for your help! Basically I was skimmerless for a couple of weeks after removing my previous skimmer to prepare the sump for a skimmer upgrade and...

So I’ve been thinking a little about this with my establishing a feeding regimen for corals. It makes sense to start a tank of with a skimmer while you have fish and while building maturity, but once you get to that point, wouldn’t the space be better utilized to make the refugium larger? In...

Hi, I have had comline 9001 nano skimmer for about 3 weeks now, and I honestly still dont understand how this thing works. All gunk and waste must be collected in a cup, but the bubbles can never reach near the top of neck. I installed my skimmer to water mark, so I cannot place the skimmer any...

I’m running Azithromycin for lyngbya. First time medicating my tank (tank will be 2 in February). I plan to dose fluconozole after for GHA. I know I am supposed to run the skimmer without the cup to keep the water oxygenated. My tank is full of microbubbles and my corals are not happy. I shut...

I was wondering if I could get some advice, I'm looking to run ozone in my system and I have a maxspect jump mj-sk400 and was wondering if the plastic was ozone safe, I was also wondering if I'm better off running the ozone at certain times in the night and if I'll need an air pump if I've got a...

Has anyone had issues with snails getting stuck in the skimmer pump water intake? My trochus snails spawned in my tank and I have a bunch of babies, which I thought was great, until this morning. I saw that my skimmer wasn't drawing in enough water so I assumed it was clogged with something...

It’s only been a week since having 2 clownfish in a 13.5 Fluval evo tank. I am starting to get ready for weekly 10% water change. I already have RO water filter in my house. I know rodi water is the best for saltwater tanks, so I might just get an extra di filter from aquaticlife buddy and run...

I've had my skimmer running for about a month now and it has still not break in?. it does not produce the brown water with bubbles, only clear water with small gunks, and accumulates brown gunks on the lid of the collection cup. What i think the reason is not enough waste being produce, I only...

So I have held of buying a skimmer because I thought i'd delay the cost a bit, and add it when needed. But it's been a year now since I've started, and I'm wondering, if the point of a protein skimmer is to eliminate organic waste, and none of my parameters are exceeding the recommended...

SEEKING ADVICE: Skimmer and flow I own a gen2 bubble King 200 mini, which i've been thinking to use on my next build (75g display tank + 30g sump). In addition i'll be running a filter roller. My concern is that the skimmer is oversized and that i might be better with a smaller or simply run...
