Update... Water level in sump doesn't make all that much difference. I have found that wet skimming is more efficient than dry skimming. With dry,...
I just added a firefish to my tank a week ago... my yellow tang hasn't paid him any attention as of yet.
Shows what my LFS knows...they told me to use play sand because live sand was too expensive. This was 6 years ago. May explain why they are out of...
Thanks... Makes me feel better. Will try to post a pic tomorrow. How/what does yours eat?
Mine was in 8 inches... Seemed to work better in 7. Raised in a few. It is in 4.5 now. Gonna see how that does. I got a lot of think junk collecting...

My skimmer is enclosed under the tank into the wall. It is closed off with not much air flow. Could there ba buildup of CO2 gas there? I may try...
