Hi Everyone,
My tank is 10 months into it's life, conditions are perfect, I have great growth of coralline algae, a refugium teaming with pods and macro algae, 2 filter socks in my sump and then my EV-120 Skimmer with Mag 5 pump.
I have recently noticed that my skimmer barely pulls anymore simmate out of the water, if it does it's very little, the tower does not foam much either.
I have 8 fish and only a couple corals right now.
I've also placed a MP40 Vortech in the system and removed my 2 K3's.
My sand bed is much cleaner since this.
What's going on? I clean the pre-filter for the pump and clean the collection cup and tower frequently for the skimmer and regularly change the filter socks.
Should I clean out the pump, water is flowing very well out of the skimmer...
Thanks a bunch,
John Avgou
