Hi bros...

My tank consists of a frogspawn, hammer, flowerpot, favia and mushroom coral and 3 peculiar clown.

Currently my skimmer is skimming heavy white foam with tiny black dots. From what I understand there shouldn't be much foam as my bioload is quite low for a 4 footer.

What could the skimmate be? Is this normal?

My Simple Tank Spec

Main Tank LPS and Softies 4x2x2.5ft

Sump Tank 2.5x1.5x1.5ft with lots of LR

Remote Sump Tank 2x1x1ft dsb refugium with chaeto, mangroves and Gracilaria curtissae macroalgae

DIY LED with 6x 3W Blue and 6x 3W White main tank light

DIY LED with 1x 3W Blue and 1x 3W Red refugium light

DIY LED 1x 1W Blue moonlighting

Now convert to skimmerless Tank

1 x Rio 14HF Return Pump

1 x SunSun JVP-102 wavemaker

1 x 2x1 vertical Algae Turf Scrubber with 2x 10W LED Warm White

No worries. What you described is good. It could be due to over feeding.

Thx bro.. I should cut down my feedings then...
