![]() ok so here is my plan as suggest from everyone
move returns to opposite side of tank stop feeding reefwars, i did follow your advice from a couple weeks ago and i stopped feeding nori and frozen everyday, and i lowered the pellet count. to drop the nitrates should i pickup some: http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/s..._ID=as-nnr0250 or just keep doing water changes until its back down. |

![]() Good to hear milad give it some time you'll see improvements soon
![]() I had 40ppm in my tankhad me worried so I increased my water changes to 5% every 3days, pretty much starved everything for a month and now I'm back under 20 . Lots of flow and turnover as someone said have a powerhead close to the top aimed up at an angle just to the point where bubbles don't appear, your goal is to have no water lay still and provide lots of current to your skimmer ![]() have you tried fiddling with your skimmers tuning to achieve a better skim???? Good luck my friend ![]() ![]()

My overflow goes into a area with bunch of ruble, then a few baffles, then into the skimmer, and then a baffle into the return. Im running a SICCE 5.0 return pump which I estimate is running around 700 gph return to my sump. And for the skimmer, I have the small bubbles going almost to the top of the skimmer. I can see them in the neck. |

![]() Try playing with your tuning I place a mark where I have it set and if I remember correctly more air is wetter skim less is dry skim it could be gbe versa I can't rember offhand but it takes a bit for the tuning to take effect it doesn't take much turning for my skimmer to see a big diff. I've never had your skimmer I can only assume there's a air intake you can adjust???
