torch problem

[Myanth]

I had a ten gallon with about 14 pounds live rock, high bio load, power sweep, and penguin 270 hang on and I had to skim the meniscus (spelling?) from the surface by submerging a cup untill the slick slipped in about once a week or my corals would not open during the day. Had about fifteen corals in there with no torch but even the stars and zoos wouldn't open if I left it more than a week.
A shot glass works well but you need to get as slow a flow as possible or you will just pull clean water from under the slick. It just became part of my weekly routine. Turn off all water movement for about an hour to let the scum settle and then slick it off, drain some more water and replace with fresh. Worked well for me.

Best of luck
Mike
