28 Gallon HQI Skimmer

[Jigga]

I've had my 28 gallon HQI Nano cube running for about 2 1/2 months, I love it, everything is healthy and growing great.

 

I have noticed that the air stone skimmer that comes with the tank isn't the best. I get about a half cup of skimate every four or five days. The skimate is pretty clear, and I feel like I should be getting more.

 

My Nitrates are right at zero and have been since the tank cycled. Like I said before, all of the fish and coral are doing great. Is this a case of "if it's not broke don't fix it"?

 

What are everyone else’s thoughts? Are you using the stock skimmer? How is yours working? If you bought a replacement, what did you buy?

 

Thanks,

Ryan
