Diary of my first saltwater tank...Awesome.

According to the lectures at MACNA, when asked if the skimmate should be thick and dark green or weaker and more liquid, the answer was that it is all acceptable and "correct". The choice is yours as to how often you want to clean your skimmer.

Good answer as always. The way I look at it from a simple view is if it is wet and smells bad, it is working. May not smell as bad until your tank is stocked.
