    I added a 2nd protein skimmer to my setup. This one is skimming dry while the other one skims wet.

    I've see a few build running their system this way so I'd thought I'd give it a try. What's the worse that could happen?

    Thats great. The fish really look good. Especially that Moorish idol

    No. I have the cichlids in there right now. Waiting for petcos $1/gal sale so I can get them their own home. I have to separate one of them. He is super aggressive and getting torn up. His mouth doesn't close all the way and he is picking fights with a fish that has teeth. And a lot of them. Lol dumb fish.
