My skimmer for my nano started leaking for no reason at all tonight. It's leaking pretty quick out of the connector that couples up to the skimmer body. Hope that makes sense. I tried to replace the O ring and that helped a little but it's still dripping. Anyone have an idea on how to fix it other than buy a new skimmer? Also how long do you think my system will be ok without it cause it does pull about a cup of dark junk a week.

your problem is the skimmer.. if you bougnt it new, i would contact SeaClone, tell them about it then direct them to all the reef boards and inform that that you will tell of your experience about the product, if they dont offer to make things right//....

Here's a little trick, if you put a little silicone grease or Vasaline on O-rings they seal much better and last for years.
