Christy, your website says you have a CPR bakpak, but here you say you have a Red Sea Berlin skimmer. If it's the red sea Berlin XL, that is more than enough skimmer for a 48g tank. I had one on my 75 and was very happy with it. It isn't in the beckett class for sure, but it does a decent job on smaller tanks. What kind of pump are you running with it? I would get a half full collection cup in about 3 days, and it was really thick smelly black gunk. I suspect it isn't working right if you're not getting the same.
As for nori, I lose half a sheet at a time in the rocks quite often...doesn't give me any problems at all.
I'm going to be in Nanaimo this week end or next; would you like me to stop by and take a look at your skimmer?
