I don't have any experience with this but I've read that running two skimmers doesn't work the way one would expect. Apparently they tend to compete with each other and ultimately bring down the...

I've ordered the reef salt from Amazon a couple of times and haven't had any broken buckets. Sounds like I've been lucky.

That would be me. :) love the skimmer Ray, but I'll keep an eye on this thread to see what you come up with. Would it be worth my time to submit a support ticket with CoralVue?
