Well it has been a little while and things have changed quite a bit now, my skimmer collection vessel that theoretically should prevent overflows did not quite do the job, something happened overnight and when I came down in the morning there was a large stinking mess of skimmate and tank water over the new carpet....
Needless to say my shares at home took a major plunge if you know what I mean!
I cleaned up as best I could and then tried to make sense of it all, cut a long story short I decided to change skimmer to something a little more conventional and ended up with a vertex 170 cone, best decision I have made in a while for sure:
The build quality is superb and within a very short period it has started pulling out some really thick skimmate.
I would like to say a big thanks to Kevin at RC for helping me through this major problem, I did not loose a single coral or fish despite the disaster with the old skimmer and a lot of that is down to the first class service that I received.
