    As always thank you coralline.

    It seems counter intuitive to not suck it out.....

    You can but it will just come back until the silicates are used up. Annoying for sure, the worst part after cycle.

    I have a B/W clown in the 29 with a chunk of LR covered in buttons, any harm in moving this over?

    In my 29 I have a clown, 2 peppermint shrimp, a serpent star, and a ball of chaeto. Should I move these over now?

    I got a new skimmer today. I had a coralife 65 and an excalibur and was using the Excalibur. Today I traded the Coralife Super Skimmer 65 for an ASM Mini G. I went ahead and modded the out put so it would dump into a 4" filter sock and here is the result.
