Changed from a Precision Marine dual Beckett skimmer to a huge over sized RK2 Smimmer

I wonder if the switch from Beckett to the mazzei made a difference or if just the size did? I always run mazzei injectors and get the best skim from them. I am jealous of that skimmer for sure!

Complete aeration by a skimmer or otherwise will eliminate pH swings entirely. The fact that it rarely does shows how difficult complete aeration actually is.

Very nice indeed , I have ran about 2x my system sized skimmer for a while now and notice similar.
