My frags are all doing great but then I'd expect nothing less from the coral master

Yup, he delivers every time.

Hows the new skimmer working, get it dialed in yet? No more leaks I hope!

All is well. I LOVE this skimmer. Of course I've only owned 3 different types. But I like this one the best! Lots of froth and pretty easy to dial in. Have repaired the leak. How's the elbow?

Elbow no good, tried doing some tank work today, didn't work out so good. Hopefully hear next week about seeing specialist, need to get it fixed got lots to do, I really want to get that 90gal corner set up.

If you need a hand just let me know.

Update:
The new tank continues to grow hair algae at an alarming rate I swear it grows an inch per day! Never seen anything like it. My Lawnmower Blenny is getting fat! (He thinks he died and went to H.A. Heaven). I moved the Fox Face over from the 90 gal and he too is eating the stuff. But between the two of them they're not making a dent in it. I've been changing 25% of the water every 3-4 days; running Rowaphos in a reactor; nitrate sponge and carbon in a canister filter; lights out for most of the day; and removing and scrubbing the smaller rock every day. If it doesn't start to let up soon I'm going to remove the corals and do an extended black-out. NO3 & PO4 are undetectable on Salifert test kits. MrFish55 brought his Medusa ChemTester colorimeter over and PO4=0 and NO3=.17 (Pretty good readings). Any suggestions? Anything I've missed?
On a positive note, the new skimmer is great. Skims well, runs quiet, and is easy to use. Here's a pic after 48 hrs of running the skimmer. About 1/3 liter of skimmate.
