    I wasn't real sure where to post this. I purchased a GFO reactor to put in my sump. The good news is that there is a definite difference. The bad news is that the protein skimmer no longer foams up. I have cleaned and adjusted and still nothing. What am i missing here, please?:confused:

    Try putting the pump and return downstream of the protein skimmer pump and see if that helps.
