That's right, Stanley may have all the nice RR corals but Is he here kickin' it with my hommies down here at THE REEF RAFT?? I don't think so. Dig it.

OMG KIEN, I laughed so hard.... So did are you going to smuggle me some pieces back?? Your vacation was to LA reef raft? I hope you brought some tin foil to pass through airport security scans when you bring me back some of the goodies

Over the last little while I've been noticing that my skimmer wasn't really pulling much out. At first I brushed it off because I had done some hefty water changes to clean up the tank after that incident with the De-Ionizer. Then I noticed that the skimmer was shooting a heck of a lot of micro bubbles into the tank. It got really bad and so I finally decided to do something about it.

here, have a look!

Yup, pretty nasty stuff..

Well, they're just feather dusters but still.. The soft ones with the mucus tubes are pretty gross. No wonder my skimmer wasn't doing jack all.

Here's what the inside of the skimmer looked like.

Needless to say, I was busy all afternoon. Once it was all scrubbed out I gave the pump a vinegar bath for half an hour, rinsed it and put it back on-line. It started to skim just like new!

And that's smart! I'd recommend that everyone do likewise. Unfortunately I'm a lazy reefer LOL.

Yup! Looks like those little buggers would pre-maturely pop a few bubbles in there eh??
