Two Euro's

One that is spec'd for the size tank - once a week

One that is underpowered - every three days

Dark black skimmate.

Well, I strive for once a week. I just did it last night, and it had been 2 weeks.

Cheers,

Al

Needle wheel type skimmers thrive on the collection area being kept pretty clean. One of the reasons many dont come with a drain outlet. I seldon let my Euroreef run more than a wek with out cleaning, usually twice/week.
