Im willing to help if you know when... Im going to be a little hectic the next couple of weeks so I need to know when, & I'd love to help, No chrge!!

Okay, that sounds good so far. Any questions about your setup in particular?

I've got a question; who makes the skimmer, what is the name of it, and what pump is driving it? That will help, since there is some.... embellishment in the hobby companies about the rating for their skimmers.

coral life makes the skimmer but i might be selling it to get a bubble master 250

That's a very good idea

Come to think of it, I can't think of what skimmer Corallife makes... Maybe some of the Octopus variants, because I believe that they're the distributor for it. I dunno. I do suggest an upgrade, because you can't have too big a skimmer.

You might want to check out one of the Octopus Extreme skimmers that just came out which are essentially clones of the Bubble Masters, or if you've got some dough to spend, the new KZ skimmers are ridiculous. Other ones to check out are the Reeflo Orca 250, any Deltec that is recirculating, H&S, or Euro-Reef. They'll all be in the $500< range though. I think best bang for buck for new would be the Reeflo, but there's more opinions on this board than there are.... something that there is a lot of
