Hey Laurier, nice addition. How's that skimmer working out for you now, after a little break-in time? I've run chemi-pure since about the 2nd month on mine without any brown slime issues. I did switch to brightwell carbon once, but notice a change in the water clarity, now I run the chemi pure & occasionally both.Keeps it nice and clear so far. 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.

Sub sauce, parm cheese and Captains.... we could be friends! lmao!!

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

you will love the 3.5. i was a little skeptical on it at first but so far it has blow the tunze 9002 and an eshopps-psk-75 h out of the water

good to hear, I considered the psk-75 for a bit and after reading the eshopps thread on reef central it turned me off from it. my friend is running one and has had great sucess with it but so far bubble magus has been excellent for me so I think I will stick with that company

but I started zeo 1 day early. lol 500g or rocks is not that much compared to what can fit in the reactor. It might be the scale I used so I am going to see where I can actually buy one
