Default Skimmer skim sludgey

Did some maintenance on the tank last night. had a minimal Nh3 reading but all other levels great. it has taken alot of diligence to get my Ca To above 400 and keep my Kh at 180-200. i test and dose both (ca one day kh the next) without missing a day. i had to dose both at about 3 Times the recommended dose to get it there. anything less and it never moved. tank looks good clowns are happy and my Rio is skimming like crazy (I run it a week at a time as my tank is picky)
