I yanked it out and donated it to my LFS. They hate it too.. Said its like aptasia.. Lol. Anyway i just got an ASM G3 skimmer to replace my crappy BAK PAK for $125 so im pretty stoked. Tested it out in the tub and it works great. Im going to see how my sps looks with a better skimmer. Im sure ill see a huge difference. If not then I know to get some carbon or PO4 reactors. My LPS is thriving so now i can clearly see that LPS likes nutrient rich water. Im just afraid that when i have the G3 hooked up that the nutriets will get sucked up and the LPS will start to degrade. Time to start builing the sump
