Thanks... I am still concerned because it has been well over a week since my skimmer did anything but spit bubbles, no foam - clear or gunked -have you had this happen? -how long can my tank survive w/o the skimmer?

Thanks for the info... The suggestion seems to be that it is best to add Kalkwasser (if I do this do I still need to add reef builder and advantage?) It may be a little while before I set up a Kalk. drip, can I get away with the reef builder and advantage for a couple months?

Will the product "reef builder - Seachem" raise and maintain the calcium level in my tank? The info given on the container is not clear (to me) on this point... Until now I have been adding calcium daily via a liquid (seems to work). Why bother with Kalkswasser when the reef builder additive...
