Good talk on skimmers. I know this was the basics but I wish you would have talked about tuning the skimmer. Maybe in your plans for a future video. I see many new reefers struggle with tuning the skimmer. They tend to set the bubble break too high up the neck of the skimmer. Another good tip for the someone new to skimmers, is setting the bubble break at or slightly below the collar that the skimmer cup attaches to. Especially on Reef Octopus skimmers. 👍

No tienes que sacar todo. Solo usa el skimmer necesario para tu table y cuantos peces tienes
