the 20g tank had a crash on Friday night - either the flatworms died and caused the skimmer to overflow into the sump or vice versa... I found out about it at 1:30AM (Saturday) and performed a major water change... the anemone, and two clowns didn't look good.. didn't see the blenny... xenia...

If I were to swap out the MJ1200 on my AquaC Urchin protein skimmer for a more powerful pump, does anyone have a guess on whether or not that would increase the performance of the skimmer?

Hello - up for sale is a drilled 90 gal with 1" durso. I bought this tank, which was meant to be a replacement for my 75 gal, however recently bought a new house and took on a second job so I never got a chance to fully set up the 90 gal. The 90 gal (I believe Perfecto) comes with the tank...

Here's my 20gal tank. It's housing a huge purple LTA and a big RBTA. It's got a little hang-on whisper filter and is normally skimmed by an AquaC Remora. However, I ran a surface skimmer on the Remora, and forgot to top it off for two days. Then, the MaxiJet 1200 ran dry... So, the pump on...
