Needing some help here. Originally I set up a Reef Octopus regal 250-INT skimmer, but since I have (as of Feb 28th) changed from filter socks to a clarisea SK-5000 gen3 and no matter what I do as far as tuning the skimmer gives me good results with the skimate. It barely produ es anything. So I was just wondering if anyone else has had this experience with running a roller mat has had this experience as well. Even when I open the bypass it barely skims.
I guess basically what my question is, do I need to downsize the skimmer to get it to actually start pulling nitrates out and getting skimmate again.
My stocking is pretty decent. I have a waterbox reef 220.6 and have 18 fish in there now and I'm going to be adding 4 more fish once they are done with qt. So I have to feed pretty heavy and frequently.
Thanks in advance!
