That brass fitting is pure trouble! Any corrosive, metal fitting will 1) corrode, putting brass into the water. 2) alter ph, metals will mess with it. It's y an apple goes brown wen u cut with a stainless knife, it alters the ph of the apple.
Return the skimmer. Don't pm, don't leave a MSG on canreef. Hop in ur car, drive there today, the same way u went to pick it up. It's common sense to return wit is borrowed! A quick shake of the head is needed!
Hope u solve ur tank prob.
