uhm this is my remora in action with a mag 3 i empty about 2 cups a day at this color? this is right after i cleaned it


this skimmer lowered the amount of Co2 in my tank way down, the reason why i know that is my PH went down because my kalkwasser top off isnt forming HCO3- bi carbonate to much now, it keeps your PH stable as well as link your Po4 change to it.

nitrate lowered alot and SPS are starting to color up right after it, im a firm believer of rich's method

once your water is unsaturated with protein and phospholipids, your water has alot more room to saturate dissolved oxygen, because these molecule, co2 and salt itself taking up alot of dissolved oxygen, our tank at 35ppt only saturates at like 5-6PPM of dissolved oxygen, thus a huge limit to livestock.
