Heyo,
Got a good one here today.
Starters:
90g with 80# LR
Eshoppes sump with refugium (macros and bio)
Single filter sock
UV sterilizer
Carbon and GFO sack in filter sock
I recently sold my 55g with which my Reef Octo 110-S skimmer.
I upsized my skimmer after the sale to a 150-SSS.
The 110 was performing really well, was getting dense skimmate changing full collection cups weekly. Now with the 150, I'm getting nothing. The skimmer is bubbling in the chamber and all but not producing any actual waste, just clean clear water in the cup. I honestly am new and am certainly not an authority on skimmers (hence the post) but I do figure that weeks of monkeying with the intake setting that I would have some...any result. Still nothing. Naturally, my first thought is oversize, not sure if that's a possible reality. I did break the skimmer down, clearer the tube, rinsed the pump, etc but no change.
Any help would be appreciated here, I do have a coral community that I would really like to keep healthy and don't want to replace my skimmer as I'm hoping there's a some solution here.
Photos attached (salt creep everywhere)
Thanks in advance!
