How do you post pics so they don't show up as thumbnails?

you have to link them in your post using a hosting site such as photobucket or flicker. Imbed the [IMG] code by right clicking it then copy and pasting to your post. Its easier than it sounds...

Everything looks good and parameters too. I would work on lowering your nitrates eventually.

For skimmer, is that an Aquac Remora hang-on skimmer?

The skimmer is the AquaC EV-120 Protein Skimmer with JG fitting. It is an in sump skimmer.

My nitrates were actually lower before starting with the bio pellets.

Oh ok. That skimmer is rated for what you have.

I also had issues with bio-pellets too and stopped a few months ago.
