    So i cleaned skimmer of coarse it was time to feed so skimmer lost all head and went back to check on it about 3 hours later made a slight adjustment and got some foam on the lid. So i went over this morning and skimmet was set perfectly lets hope it stays this way even as the neck gets slimed up

    Made a skimmer stand today your basic eggcrate and pvc. Also put a rubber coupling in the output. Because eversince i raised the output it was shooting over the sponge and into the return chamber creating micros in the display. I can add a pic if you like. Now i have to start over tweaking the skimmer.

    Yeah I really like it too. Haven't made any adjustments for awhile. Pulling out some nasty stuff
