Reef Junky150 and Rjramos those skimmers are dialed in for day two! I wonder what mine will have in store for me when I get home tonight.

 

[Reef Junky150]

Wait until tomorrow! Dual pumps on it and 14+ years experience with my skimmer helps too.
It will slow down as the neck gets dirty later in week. Pulls wet at first by cleanin time day seven it's pulling a heavy dry skim. Works out good.

Here is mine, apparently I don't have as much gunk in my system as you guys.

So far it seems as though the two people with "messy eaters" and "messy fish" have the least skimmate....Interesting!
Me and rayn both have predator tanks. Well, I only have the one fish, but he eats enough for a fully stocked tank!

I just got my skimmer back online after a two month period when the pumps died. So it's doing some catching up. Usually before all this happened it pulled a lot less. But yes I'm pulling a lot. Also just recently re located upgraded my sump "larger" and added a separate refugium and ats. So to sum it up my system went through a huge transformation and upgrade atyer gfo and skimmer were offline for a period of time. I think in the next few months my skimmer will slow down a bit. I had a large ha outbreak and it's dying off now. My filter sock has to be changed every three to four days vs before all the above happened it was changed once a week and could have gone two weeks pushing it.

Day 2 - 24hrs after cleaning

Had a better head of foam earlier, but the HT decided to knock some stuff over so I had my arm in the tank.

 

[Chetrod]

Day two changed the overflowing filter sock which overflowed the skimmer a little.
