Hang on Protein Skimmers

I wonder if the yellow water is just a result of the bulbs you're using. Some give off a pretty yellow tint.

I have a Deltec MCE600 and it works like a champ. Granted, it's probably too much skimmer for my system, but....I'm a believer in "more is more" when it comes to skimming. But you could easily get away with the MCE300.

How long can I go without a skimmer? Will 2-3 weeks be detrimental to my tank?

As long as you're not overstocked, I doubt a couple of weeks would hurt. Maybe just cut back on feeding a bit.

My Deltec works just fine..Bac Paks are supposed to be good too...and yes carbon in your filters would work well for water clarity...
