It can back again, I cheated and used chemi-clean.
I just cleaned my powerheads, thought they were looking a little clogged up.

I'm thinking the skimmer would help to remove a lot of waste which may be building in the tank. I have no plans to add any additional fish, just fill with corals now.

There is a bit of scummy stuff that sits on the water surface, I moved a ph to aggitate one side a bit better, but its not getting removed from the tank or water. The water itself is quite clear and crisp looking though, not cloudy or "dirty" looking. I may throw the skimmer back in and see what happens.
