Thank you so much Cheeks! I really appreciate the feedback and advice.
I bought the skimmer separately at the recommendation of my LFS. Seems like it works well when I do run it. I had it off during the PimaFix treatment because it would just pull that stuff right out and foam up everywhere.
I am trying to raise the SG. I've been adding a little salt mix to my top off water every day. Making it 1.021 instead of just fresh water. I don't know how long that takes to make a difference.
