    Taking skimmer out

    Nope no adjustment... There was a lot of sludge on the inside neck before I cleaned it. I thought since it only collected about 1/8 of an inch I shouldn't have to clean it but maybe that was preventing it from skimming. We shall see.

    Taking skimmer out

    I am thinking about taking my stock skimmer out of my 130. Is there anything else to put there to help the tank besides another skimmer? : I may be putting an ATO sensor there..... Do you think taking the skimmer out will lessen the water fluctuation from the filter getting caked up?
