I fully understand how a protien skimmer works.
Your first post you said "That is why you run a Protien Skimmer"
Adding a protien skimmer alone will not fix the problem.
In your second post you said "If you run a Surface Skimmer to a Protien Skimmer it removes them" - this I totally agree with and I mentioned that in my last post.
Adding surface agitation will mix it back into the water THEN the skimmer will do it's job.
OR
Using an overflow will also clear up the problem the best.
I think we are on the same track.
Didn't I mentioned all of this before he started questioning me???
I didn't see the name calling and all that, I missed that part....Oh well....All I have to say is I know what I'm doing and if you don't agree with it, so be it. Take it or leave it, no need for name calling and all that....I'm running an successful reef tank right now and I don't have a problem with oily film on the surface of my tank! :happyfish
