I have all my water go through the skimmer box first, before passing through the fuge & then the return pump. Just a thought.

Have read that skimmed water isnt allways best for fuge. Alot split their flow, like argan has. I have split flow as well. But, nothing in Fuge yet, need to build fuge V2.0 first.
