Very Slow SPS Growth

Not to mention the dissolved oxygen and higher ORP and or Redox that they add to the systems water quality.. I run mine 24/7 and I never wold cut it off intentionally. But you can have to large a skimmer for a system also..I know its confusing as hell and a difficult topic to deal with.. But Like I said I do not deal in Data , I have over time found that a properly sized skimmer for a reef system is simply a must for top quality water.

But they like anything can be over done and most times are . I have found that if I size my skimmers too match the flow rates through the sump more then how many will for the tanks size its a better deal all the way around.. And over skimming is never a issue . But I myself would never run a system with out a skimmer.. I base that on the many yrs I did not use skimmers and I remember those tanks )>: And not because I have not tried to recall them ..quote]

I agree!!

Thank's again, I'll try focusing on my ALK and MAG levels, and leave the skimmer alone..

I have both of those corals and would consider the Birds nest a fast grower. I agree with all. Alk Mag and CA should be maintained at high levels.
