I have two questions for you all:
1) Just a question for those that do not have a sump. I used the prefilter box for my Remora and I really don't like it. I REALLY have to tweak it to get any good use out of it. From my understanding, it's supposed to skim off any excess nutrients and crap (the oil that you see) off of the top of your tank. Well...I used the prefilter box and I honestly have to tweak it within a centimeter or less for it to work. The prefilter box will be too high up to work, or the water will be too low and my Maxi-Jet will suck air and water and not work properly. I have to perform topoffs with RO/DI water waaaay too much. How do you guys/gals tweak it?
2) Second question is that my Remora is producing water as a form of skimmate instead of bubbles. My past protein skimmers used to give me a dark gunk of bubble skimmate, but now all I'm getting is nasty water. Is this normal?
Thanks in advance
