Well at least the water preamiters are deicent, a couple big water changes and getting the skimmers going again should go a long way.

Ok I got the skimmers skimming and got the NO3 down to around 20ppm after a 20 gal water change last night...not too bad. Heres some pics
Main tank pics are crappy will get more when its not so busy


OK down to the sump....hey they moved the wine outa here, word must have leaked

?? Ohh in the hole

Cmon in its cozy in here! Heres the supply corner

Watch your head!

Ahh home sweet home

There's 2 coralife super skimmers, one in each sump now foaming up a storm along with a Rena Filstar xp3 filter but it only has gravel in it.

Gotta love the mess of copper pipes everywhere along with electical wires and 2 panels all in the sump "room"
Thats it for now, I will get some more decent shots of the main tank next time

Good to hear that things are improving.

Any thoughts on what you may decide to do about the hair algae?

after seeing that a few turbos might be a good thing to try first, it realy isn't that bad.

Just reach in there and weed the algae out. If you've fixed the skimmers and done a few water changes, it won't be too quick to come back. Besides, I bet that the algae is going to find itself very short on nutrients soon and start to die back anyway.

I didn't see any skimmers in your pictures, do you know what kind they are? Just curious.
