Setting a tile or two under the skimmer might be an easy solution.



Fwiw, skimmer sizing has more to do with display volume than total system volume (within reason). This is because of the potential bioload, and generally the bioload is a direct reflection of the display tank size. Do you have a very light bioload?
no i'd say i have a pretty heavy bio load. fish, corals, 3 very large clams
