SRC Member lawchan77 Posted May 7, 2012 SRC Member Share Posted May 7, 2012 Noted, should be quite safe cos if it goes down into the overflow, it should be trapped by the filter sock before it can makes its way to the skimmer. bro, think he meant the wave maker.

Admiraltian Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Recently, my skimmer doesn't seem to produce a lot of dark skim mate. I wonder if this is normal, cos I saw most skimmer does.

Anyone knows if there anything causing the skimmer to be like this? Or there's actually nothi ng wrong? Don't seem to be an issue with your skimmer. I would assume the amount of bubbles mass are still very much the same? If it is, likely, you have not much nutrient to export already based on what i see in your stocking. If you are afraid the skimmer is not exporting the nutrient due to some issue, you can buy a NO3 test kit to test the water. Quote Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, I suspected that might be one of the problem but due to my sump space and the height (size) of my skimmer, it's a bit difficult. Either I have to upgrade my skimmer or try to elevate it higher.

If you are afraid the skimmer is not exporting the nutrient due to some issue, you can buy a NO3 test kit to test the water. Hi bro, i agree with Thomas that the most likely reason could be there isnt much to skim. Your fish stocking seems pretty low and feeding may be also at the lower side right ? If you are able to make the skimming a little more dry, you will then notice the skimmate would turn darker. But whichever method you do (dry or remian wet as your current setting), as long as your coral do well, it doesnt really matter much. From my experience, skimmate usually turns darker after feeding, then eventually turn lighter color again. Do note that the amount and size of bubble do affects the skimming result as well.
