No, I am following the European way of things, and the way alot of them set things up with Zeovit. I should say that I did run filter socks down below at the overflow exit to the sump in the beginning, but now things are pretty clean and so I don't anymore.

On a side not: having 2 skimmers are nice, as I camp with the family quite a bit (could be gone for 3-4 days at a time), if one quits the other can keep things clean. So hopefully I don't get any surprises if this does happen
