At my wife's corp Christmas party; throwing down Dbl Jack and cokes. Wishing I would have posted my skimmer pics before we left. I will post them when I get back.

Day 6. Anyone else getting to the point that they aren't skimming as much, with all the gunk building up inside?

Day 6:
120hrs after clean

"72 hrs after biweekly 20% water change."

Skimmer neck must be getting pretty nasty by now b/c I am only getting about 1/8"-1/4" of skimmate now.


Bubble King Mini 180
90 gal mixed Reef
30 gal Sump w/ Refugium
No GFO No Carbon
6 Clownfish, 4 Firefish Gobys, 3 Tangs, 1 Mandarin Dragonet, 1 Leopard Wrasse
1 cube of Rods Food mixed with Reef-Roids & Reef Chili & Amino's every other day.

Sorry for the 6 hr delay guys!

Day 7 , Normally I just dump it outside but now I'm cooking garlic pizza to cover the odor in the house from playing with the muck. All done, that's all folks.

As can be seen a very dirty neck but still pushing skimate foam through! I can let it keep going like this but lacking best performance, time to clean!
And here the collection reservoir with about 1" of skimate.

Day 7 time to clean this nasty stuff
This amount of collection is consistent weekly. What do you guys think? Skimmer underrated or just right for my tank?

Just wanted to post this picture. This is 4 hours after I cleaned the cup today, see previous pic.
