Hey Asherah-I have 2 Aqua C Remora Pro Skimmers....one with prefilter box and one without....absolutely excellent skimmer and YES invest in the prefilter box...much less Microbubbles! Good luck....and it does take a bit of settle in/break in time for the skimmer but once it is going well it is great! I get the nastiest black soup out of there....!

If at all possible take a sample of your water to a LFS, often times, especially if you are purchasing non premium test kits, the reagent may be either stale or bad. I've seen this often enough to know I don't trust them, if something looks wrong and the tests are all fine I'll get a second opinion. Good luck.
