I'm thinking that's the case with mine it's mostly inverts and coral with one prawn goby

agreed, i have inverts, two clowns, boxfish and a chromis.
I do get the sludge in the skimmer cup as well though, other than fish poop and food decay, what else are we actually skimming out of the water? Decay from LR and sand as well? anything else im missing?
