Hello hello,
I keep Dungeness crab in our crab tank for our community and are currently looking to get a skimmer for our tank. We usually have around 200 gallons of water and our tank can hold at most 250 crabs (we usually are not at maximum capacity. We hold 150 crabs most of the time). We do not have a separate compartment for the skimmer so the skimmer is sitting in water.
We are currently using an OCTO Classic 150ext Recirculating Protein Skimmer. It was working fine for a long time but start forming crazy recently and overflowing the cup but not forming any skimmate. We could not get it to work. Any one know why is it happening? Here's a photo of our skimmer going crazy:
Anyone know if this is the correct protein skimmer size for tank? Do we need a bigger skimmer for our set up?
Thanks!!
