Also I added 1 of those actinic led strips that they have at ocean city, they make it look awesome after the main lighting goes out, it's like a fish rave.

skimmer was doing great, but somehow it got a slime coat on the inside of the skimmer. So either today or tomorrow I will be doing a vinegar bath to clean it up and getting it running like new. But I still plan on upgrading to the NAC3.5 in the next few months. I still want to try a cone style skimmer

Yep running carbon (KZ) in the phosban reactor. I just think the chemi-pure shocked they system. As of now I have some cleaning up to do since introducing it. For sure was the key factor to the slime algae
