I have a question, I have a skimmer in chamber 2 of my BC29. Only thing is I can't remember the last time I had to empty the cup. It's bubbling like a champ and all I get is clear saltwater in the cup. I rarely see skim or foam. The tube is clean also.
I was thinking of just turning it off, I mean it doesn't appear to be doing anything but making heat for my tank.
Do I really need a skimmer for the BC29. I've heard people say its good to have others say not needed if you do weekly water changes. I do 5 gallons every Friday.
If the skimmer isn't doing anything then it kinda seems pointless. I've read how people have to empty there cup once, twice a week. Not here, it doesn't even get dirty and I've tried all kinds of adjustments. Wet skim or a dryer skim all with the same results... Nothing. I'm lucky if after a month I have three quarters of a cup and that's rare!
Thanks in advance.
