ATI BM 200 not skimming

[ireefny]

I recently switched over from Reef to FOWLR. I have a 180 with about 150 lbs of live rock & the following live stock:
1 Regal Angel 5"
1 Leopard Wrasee 4"
1 Sunburst Anthias
1 Bicolor Anthias
2 Green Chromis
1 Exquisite wrasse
1 Pink Margin wrasse
1 Bellus Angel 4"
1 Solar Fairy wrasse
1 Kole Tang
1 Candy Hog fish
as you can see have small fish, I might have missed 2-3 guys but they are relatively small as well.

I used to get a ton of skimmate from my BM 200 & was dark, now I seem to get light emeral green & very little. I gave it a vinegar bath & is now not pulling anything. what could I be doing wrong or is this normal for how I have stocked my tank? :scratchch

I have the bm160 and it took a few days to start skimming again after a good cleaning. As a result I really try not to clean the body too much any more. I just rinse it with WC water, clean the pump, and make sure there is no crap on the neck.

Get rid of that garbage skimmer and buy Pierce's Bubble King :lol2:
