Thanks!! Those are the caribsea life rocks. Im not running a skimmer. Not sure if i ever will.
Ah, I misread. Saw skimmer above, it’s a surface skimmer though!! Lol. Hard to see in the pic. So I looked it up. Yeah I don’t run a skimmer on my 20. Just a basic HOB filter hung on the end.

Looks good, I don’t run a skimmer and the AC70 on my 20 also. How do you like the surface skimmer? I’ve been looking at it myself.

Its pretty nice. A little pricey for what it is but it does its job. And its nice to be able to hide your ato inside of it.

are you using a freshwater test kit? if so, is that going to be accurate? maybe it's just for reference ? I am sorting out my own issues... it just caught my eye :)

How long has your tank been running?
7 years old this month. Had a few mistakes 2018/19. Lost all my coral. Left it alone for awhile. Started adding coral again beginning of 2020. Clown fish is 7 and the big Yuma is 6.

Thanks, The bigger ones are the nirvanas.lol the buttkissers are the smaller polyps. Wonder how they came up with that name ha. I picked up a flame hawkfish today and some woodstock hippie plays. Things are doing good after dipping.
