so I've been unhappy with my skimmer performance since I cleaned it awhile back and I thought it was because it needed to re-break in....
I took it apart earlier and found the air line was clogged. Waaaaay more bubbles now and the recirc. CO2 scrubber will be in-use again. Cant wait to see the pH in a little... I think it was around noon I redid it (the little trough mid-way up).

At least you didn’t install it upside down
 
yep. they were at 1.020 in the bags so acclimation was easy. I ordered the canary through Petco because I've wanted one since the last passed. The Sharknose was a bonus because he was still in the bag and because the frag tank needs a cleaner. I went straight to the frag tank with them because they're straight from ORA.
I've already had to get the canary out of the filter...
 
N then the sump under shelf "lft hand bottom corner of pic" 120 under new tank... ;) :)
