Wow...Skimmer has doubled production easy. Cup was 2/3 full when I arrived home today. Its pulled a easy quart of nasty dark green skim over 3 days. The inside of the lid was thick with caked skim paste. Best performance Ive seen from this skimmer ever.

You are having great results! My skimmers did the same thing. Like a new piece of equipment. Your parameters are great too! Keep updating, Todd! I read 'em all.

Thanks! I cant wait! I think Im going to re-add 1/2 of the 250ml of BP I took out from the beginning and see how it goes for another 5-7 days. Not sure what Im going to do with by GFO reactor now.

Well don't lose it. As you feed more (which you should be doing) or add more fish the phosphate - nitrate balance will come into play. You may have to run some gfo for a while in order to lower the phosphates to lower the nitrates. They are linked. The pellets do a better job with nitrates so what we are finding is after awhile the nitrates start creeping up as the phosphates rise. A week of gfo seems to put everything back.
