Hey all...i have a bermuda bps 3c skimmer on my system and it freaks out on a daily basis...i'm not sure if its my setup, my system or the skimmer....
basically its set to skim medium wet/dry skimmate, not too wet or dry. But pretty much every day or every other day when i get home from work my skimmate collection bottle will be full of a green tea colored water. definitly more water than skimmate. now, this isnt a terrible thing as i am effectivly doing a daily 3/4-1gal water change, however, i want to setup an ATO systme and i'm afraid that i will end up diluting my system if i have it hooked up to fresh RO water....
do i have the skimmer setup wrong? is this normal?
are there better EXTERNAL skimmers out there?
Thaks all...
46g - bow, 12g sump/fuge
mag 7 skimmer feed pump
skimmer is plumbed external bec i cant fit it in my sump, skimmer is older model so no gate valve..
