Thanks!!! I've been doing that for months now,sticking with it, damn near shut it down once or twice. I'm at that finicky 4 to 5 year period where a lot of tanks run into problems, and I've had my fare share. It's made me rethink some design choices, look at my dosing, and husbandry. I've also realized that I've made some really dumb decisions recently and I won't be doing that again. The last thing I want to do for now is mod a different pump into my skimmer, but that will take some time as those pumps are not cheap.
Long story short I've found the very expensive side of keeping a reef tank recently. lol
