    Why Isn't My Protein Skimmer Working?

    I've got some fish and inverts. It's never been a problem. I feed krill and some flake, but I also have good circulation in the tank which keeps everthing moving. If someting gets sucked up, it gets skimmed.

    Why Isn't My Protein Skimmer Working?

    I took the sponge off. I run mine wide open. Works great. It's been running great since January of this year.

    external mag pump install

    I think if you take them out, the life of the pumps will dramatically decrease. I know they say internal/external, but they use the water to cool them. Cooling motors and pumps is a good idea. 84 is a little warm, what is the tank temp?

    265 gallon tank

    well it all depends what you want to keep. If your looking at a reef, the best lights are metal halides. These lights will eliminate the need for the heaters.
