Fuge and Skimmer Or Fuge no skimmer

[Reef Guy11]

Is it to much to use both or is it okay.

 

[fungia]

yes it is okay i think but the skimmer should work after the fuge and not before.

yes good? or yes bad?

 

[Reef Guy11]

So in other word yes, but the skimmer should be plumbed in after the fuge. In my case I have a sump, then to the left is my fuge only place for it. But my Skimmer which is a EuroReef Sit inside the sump. So my problem is that the skimmer is getting the Nutients before the Fuge = Bad for Calurpia right, wrong, maybe both. 8O :?

you should fix your poll so it has option "good" and option "bad".

i have my fuge output drain directly into the main pump. the skimmer is off in the distance somewhere and doesn't come close to the fuge output.
