I did the same thing, overstocked a 55g with a very poor skimmer and had many losses as a result. Consider it a learning experience and always remember in this hobby that only bad thing s happen fast, good things take lots of patience. Best of luck to you and your tank, Veilside.

haha, I hand feed the chocolate star daily. The brittle star on the other hand hasn't come out from the rocks completely since I bought it.

Brittle stars love to hide and come out at night, unless they're not finding any food behind your rocks.

You can do some easy mods to your seaclone that will make it work a heck of a lot better. Get rid of the little air valve and switch it with an adjustable airline valve. Next pull out the inner tube and cut it down by 3-4" to increase reaction time. And lastly cut the riser tube of the collection cup down by an inch (if you have a dremel). There's a little better description on RC btw. Not saying it will make it a great skimmer, but it will make it better.

The inner tube can be pulled out of the main body of the seaclones.Just use a tooth pick to remove the O-ring and the inside tube will pull out.Once you have it out,just take a dremil and cut a couple of inches off the top of the tube and stick the skimmer back together.
