Looks pretty wet, is there a reason you don't run for a drier skimmate.

Does water always taste like salt and poo????

Yes, I can make it pull MUD however a wetter skim in my experience pulls more PO4. PO4 severely inhibits calcification so with SPS corals it is very important to keep it low. I still get smelly chunks of nasty goop, I feed alot, and my nutrients are very low. You can see the chunks of "Mud" along the sides of the cup in the pic. I think if you poll most SPS guys they have a tendency to skim a little wet.

DT is a 90g and the fuge is a 29g. I used one of the kits from GreatLakes Aquarium to make the fuge. I made the intake 10"x12" so I should be able to put a nice skimmer in when the time comes. I will water test it tomorrow.
Thanks for the great info

Based on your volume I would save your money and buy a bigger skimmer than the Mini G.

Re: Refugeium baffle spacing?
Agreed that suggestion was made before learning of the water volume.
Get it bigger brother!
