Just a note... You can't set a skimmer using tap water. It reacts differently than salt.

Sorry about your issues.

Good luck.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Hey paddy, I wasn't using the tap water to dial in the skimmer. I used it to help clean it out, I took the skimmer apart to rinse everything out, and left it running to just kick out anything that was inside the skimmer

Default herbtana

I've used herbtana ramped up to 150% dosage with no problems and that was with epaulette sharks as well.

Good product, slow to work, but good product

Sorry my misunderstanding. I thought you were testing it with tap water... as in trying to dial it.

Sorry sorry sorry!
