Ok so i have skilter 250 and its is horrible. My tank had been running for like about6 months now and i have alot of coral, and even though i kno no one recomends it i have a tamato and a royal goby in a ten gallon. they are doing fine ive had them both for about a month. I have a 96 watt coral life light. my problem is one the skilter doesnt skim any protien. and also i have horiible brown algea problem it is taking over my tank. i clean it and the next day you can baraly see through the glass its starting to grow on some of the coral. please someone help quick i am so mad

I am unfamiliar with a skilter but I assume this is a protien skimmer of some kind I will Take a stab as ask if You have cleaned the airline tubing and or the powerhead/pump working this as it can get glogged with salt. Do you have a powerhead and wher is it pointing EX. parallel to the glass @45º to it @90º to ?

yes i have a power head and its in the back corner pointing at the other back corner of the tank. my skitler has a an air line tube but it has a cap on it. if i remove the cap it does skim the protien but it creat tons of bubble in the tank and the fish, coral dont seem to like it and its reall loud
