Coralife super skimmer

My skimmer broke a few weeks ago and I am waiting for a part, my only filtration at this point is my sump. My nitrate levels were at zero now they bumped up to around 20, everything else is fine at this point. Other than a partial water change is there anything else I can do to lower that? THanks, J

Does anyone have experience with this skimmer? I am having a problem with the white pads that the water goes out, it seems to over flow. How many of these pads should I be using? It seems to bubble if I put half the pad in and overflow if I put the whole pad in.

Yes, I feel Like an asshole who just got taken by another one of these Aquarium store experts. Im really getting sick of dropping money on stuff I dont need. He was trying to talk me into drilling my tank and having a sump. He said that the canaster with no filter is a cheap way of doing that...

My camera is busted, I was told not to use it for a filter. I am using this to turn the water over, not as a filter.

I am currently running a Protein skimmer and two powerheads with 60lbs of live rock in a 55 gallon tank. The guy at the local store convinced me that I need something stronger to turn my water over and that the protein skimmer was not adequate. I bought a canaster filter just to turn the water...

I am almost done my first cycle and just added a protein skimmer, for some reason when you walk in the house it smells like a mound of shit. Anyone ever have this problem and what can I do. thanks, J
