Just got my new vortech for the rsm, had a benefit that i didn't think about.. Now that its providing all the flow I could ever want, I can switch off one of the return pumps in the back.
The surface skimmer wasn't working properly due to too much out power vs too much filter sponge/media. By cutting the return in half, the surface skimmer is working perfectly now. I'm running the full size black sponge, a phosphate sponge + phosban in a bag, carbon & ceramic noodles, its a lot to get through using gravity, but with only the one pump, its working great now.
And with all the extra stuff the vortech is kicking up, i need that surface skimmer doing its job!
