I knew when I started reading this thread that I'd seen this tank before! Hate to hear that about the fish.

Did you see it on one of the other sites?

So I got home from work this am and gave the Aquamax WS-1 skimmer a vinegar bath and placed it in my sump next to my Icecap K2-50 simmer. I plan to run them both until I decide which one is skimming better and then save the other as backup.

This is 3 days of skimmate from
The K2-50

And most recent water test:

I went ahead and pulled the Icecap K2-50 off of the tank and will keep it in reserve as a backup skimmer.

Nice! So I'm assuming the WS-1 is skimming well for you then? I loved the HOB-1 version of that skimmer.

Wow, I've been into this hobby for awhile now, but have never heard of or seen a Pike Blenny before. Interesting looking fish for sure, looks like even their max size is only about 3"... Definitely snap a picture if you can.
