- Has anyone had any experience with the Seaquest venturi skimmer ?
- I bought one last Nov. and it has not produced any brown foam at all.
-
- The tank is 75 gallons with a 20 gallon sump.
- It has inverts and fish.
- All readings are at 0ppm.
- Salinity is 1.022
-
- A prefilter drains into the wet/dry, then a little giant 2MDQ
- pumps the water up to the skimmer (it hangs on the back of the tank).
-
- The skimmer makes a lot of bubbles and white froth, but it never
- makes any brown gunk or fills the collecter with anything.
-
- Any suggestions ?
