No little ones here. Plus sump and top of tank are enclosed

I've found that the colour of my skimmate is directly related to the colour of the pellets I feed.

How so?

You change food and the color changes???

Mine is nothing close to my pellet color. I would say coincidence. Not matter what I feed... Green.

Maybe you over feed ha ha. Joke.

I maintain about 50 tanks... Change in Pellet colour in almost every tank results in change of skim mate colour

I've never fed anything but brown nls pellets

Some more than others...

Cyclopeeze, formula 2, spirulina brine, and tetra colour pellets are some of the ones you notice more.

Foods like prime reef flakes from ocean nutrition have a pretty bland color to them, so you won't notice it as much.

Also Markod, start feeding a bit of variety... Nls pellets are great, but variety is the spice of life. Hikari is releasing a new couple of foods into our market January. Keep a watch for them, very clean pellets and the fish love em.

So if you used red flake.... Your skimmate is red?

I used red flakes (prime reef) for about two years. Still green.


Interesting.

How is it today Marko?

I adjusted it. It's thick and black
