skimmer

Hi all, I'm just setting up a new tank, and had a question about using skimmers. I understand they should be run for a week or so to 'break in', is that right? Currently my sump water is deeper than is recommended to operate the skimmer (for either a dry or wet skim). I've ordered a stand...

How do I properly adjust a skimmer? My AquaTop Recife 40’s skimmer had no instructions, so I’m really not sure what the recommended height is. Once I have the height set, should I be raising and lowering it to keep getting skim mate? Basically, when I do a water change, that day my skimmer is...

Hi all, I installed an algae-scrubber on my 150gal about 5 months ago, and I love it. Since then, my skimmer has collected about 1-inch, MAYBE, of skimmate. So now I'm wondering if I should just remove my skimmer altogether... Has anyone replaced their skimmer with an algae-scrubber...

This monster skimmer is in great shape and has a practically new reef octopus varios 6 pump powering it. This was used on a large system for about a year. I’m asking about half of what they go for new. Trying to keep it reasonable for what it is, but I’m not going to be using it for some time...

Hi, I have a Coralife 125g protein skimmer. It is just obnoxiously loud and throws microbubbles all over the tank and makes it look cloudy. I feel as though it is bothering the fish.

I recently reduced my skimmer run time to 6 hours. I have very low PO4 and NO4, each running frequently at or near zero based on ULR Hanna and Nyos tests respectively. I also run a refugium to help maintain low values but also dose Neonitro and Neophos to keep them up. I was curious how others...

What the heck is going on? Previously, I had a cheap Coral life skimmer that was easier to tune. Have it up on marine pure blocks in 6-7 inches of water. Pure white foam, first time plugging it in. Normal? How long will it do this?
