Boomer Bomb Technician (EOD) Manhattan Reefs Location Duluth, Minnesota Rating - 0% 0 0 0 Jun 11, 2012 #2 3 reasons: 1. Skimming is much controlled by surface tension which the GAC may have initially changed. 2. Both skimming and GAC work of a chemical process called Hydrophobic action. 3. GAC removes more organics quicker and faster than skimming. Who's GAC did you use, how much and how old is this tank ?
