Won't eat it. I even tried breaking it up in little pieces and it just spit it out. I can't force it to feed on it. The algae wafers are usually scooped up by the hermit crabs and cleaner shrimps first.

I repeat. 4 Maxijet 1200s. 2 Seio 1500s. One of the Maxijets is directed at the surface. Lots of current, IMHO. Lots of O2, IMHO.

The skimmer is weak in that it produces little skimmate. What I get in skimmate in 4 weeks a EuroReef would produce in half a day. But that's another issue in and of it's self.
