Has anyone used the Euro-Reef nano skimmer?

I am fed up with my 9002 on my 30 g cube.

I have a EuroReef CS-6-2+ with gate valve mod, PM me if you are interested, this is an in-sump skimmer which was previously on my 120 so it may be overkill for your tank.

RO/DI membrane question

Just changed my RO/DI membrane after about five years and swapped all the filters.

No water output.

How long after changing a membrane should I see water produced?

Aqua-Safe in business any more?

Ditto.

It took a few days but my Flame eats Formula 1 and 2 flake, mysis and nori.

Unfortunately he also polished off my pair of cleaner shrimp.
