![]() I've found that the colour of my skimmate is directly related to the colour of the pellets I feed.

You change food and the color changes??? Mine is nothing close to my pellet color. I would say coincidence. Not matter what I feed... Green. Maybe you over feed ha ha. Joke.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds. ![]() |

Some more than others... Cyclopeeze, formula 2, spirulina brine, and tetra colour pellets are some of the ones you notice more. Foods like prime reef flakes from ocean nutrition have a pretty bland color to them, so you won't notice it as much. Also Markod, start feeding a bit of variety... Nls pellets are great, but variety is the spice of life. Hikari is releasing a new couple of foods into our market January. Keep a watch for them, very clean pellets and the fish love em. |

I used red flakes (prime reef) for about two years. Still green. Interesting. How is it today Marko?

![]() To me it looks like some algae concentrated in there. Maybe some green/blue cyanobacterias? They can be quite colorful. As long as there is none in the water that is concentrated enough to be visible I would not worry.
Are you dosing any carbon?
