Skilter 250

I am having problems getting that number to come up.Is it the one I linked if so $20 or so is the most you should pay for that skimmers.Anything more that that
I get the propak one I linked on Aquatraders.How much is it anyway?My first !2 gallon had crushed coral what a pain.I did vacuum the you know what out if it and the nitrates did drop.What brand of test kit do you use.Sometimes they expire.So would see if your LFS(local fish store) can test for you.If you do a gravel vac.You can move the rock,fish and shrimp to 5 gallon buckets with tank water added.Then you will get a through cleaning.Also to get it cleaned good you water supply will run out.Just add fresh water while cleaning.The tank should be empty after the cleaning or close to it.Fill the tank with new saltwater and let it circulate.If it is your budget you may want to get the stuff out and go with some live sand.

my 1st response in your thread covers my opinion on the skilter. with such a small system, most any proven skimmer will work for your as long as you do not overload your system with a bioload that is to high, i.e. too many fish, too much food. etc. hope something here helps. good luck.
