The skimmer is in to deep of water. I have a sro2000 and I have it in 6 1/4 " of water. Google what is the best water depth for that skimmer by people that own that skimmer.
I also went to most of the stores today. The ones on 8th ave were dirty and the fish looked sick. The one on 18ave was pricey. Coral theory was nice place for coal and frags (I bought 2 frags). They don't have many fish but there waiting for there tanks to cycle. I will be going there again...
I have been using thousand island aquarium for years and lately they have really gone down hill. So I am wondering where does everyone else go for fish and coral. I live in the Bensonhurst area.
