WOW....almost had a heart attack....LOL
I got the chemi-pure elite changed with no issues.....w/c done with no issues...changed a few phosphate pads I have in different areas of the sump....no issues
cleaned skimmer bucket...YIKES....MUD....LOL....but no issues....WAIT....I spoke too soon....LOL....All of a sudden I look and the skimmer is not working
I am checking everything ...thinking I knew things were going too smooth :( well after checking a bunch of things......LOL....I found a snail stuck to the intake of the pump that feeds the skimmer
Let's just say I have NO clue how it got in that section, but it is gone now and everything is back to running smooth YAYYYYYYYYYYY
before I even hit submit the skimmer stopped again
I bet something got in the pump....I am going to leave it off for a little while.....if it keeps doing this. maybe Danny will drain it for me and clean the pump tomorrow :(

Well I think I am going to switch away from Brightwell Aquatics. Not too crazy about it. I can get this Aquavitro or the Tropic Marin. What do you guys recommend but also I see a lot of great reviews for Reef crystals. I heard about switching from natural to synthetic salts is harmful. If I switch to any of these from Brightwell's is this a change from one to another? BTW I have a reef tank
