new skimmer on order. with the fish in QT (they're mostly tangs, remember) and the skimmer on the QT tank, I've been growing some algae quickly in the display. And I don't want to do the amount of water changes I'd need to keep up with the necessary nutrient export (it would be expensive to use that much salt). And I wanted a bit larger skimmer for this tank, and it will be nice to leave the euro-reef on the QT long term. So, SRO 5000INT on the way. Hopefully it will show up this week.
Congrats on the new skimmer, Chris! We have the SRO 6000sss and love it.
nice looking skimmer - now you just need a swabbie
Took ya long enough!
