Skilter Filter-Need Opinions!

Just out of plumb curiosity, I will wager that this is a softie tank, or softies and LPS.

Yes, mostly softies and polyps.

IME, this type of coral can put up with higher nutrient levels than anything else. This tank, according to you has only been up for a year, and the nutrients will continue to build up, due to some rather inefficient skimming and filtration. In my opinion, you are just asking for trouble. but like I stated, this is only my opinion. Good luck to both of you down the road.

Charlie, I appreciate and respect your thoughts. I'm currently using the Skilter 250 on my new reef tank but, based on what I've learned thus far, I do feel that I'll need an upgrade in the near future. I'm in the process now of researching different Skimmers. Trying to avoid a HOB and hpoing I can find something that will go under the tank, inside the wood stand.

There are a ton of better choices out there, believe me. I can't keep up, and I am not a guy that really understands the new skimmer theories either. If you need some help, shoot me a PM, OK?
