Thanks Breakthecycle2. Which skimmer are you using in your IN 16? (if you still have it).

That's good to know. I have 17 pounds of Reel Reef LR. For know everything looks good. Brown diatoms started to appear.

Thanks Lilyestr. I agree with all. The skimmer is off for now This week I have been playing with the PHs. I'm finding a hard time to understand the difference between intermediate flow and high flow. The return nozzles seem very strong, but my clownfishs love the PH when it's on.
