Mmmmm, did you taste it?

Probably from December.
I’m pretty good at cleaning it once a month when the weather is nice. The foam is just nice from this skimmer. After a couple hours.

Forgot to snap a quick pic because it stink like holy hell and was trying to mitigate the smell of sulphur through the house to the kitchen sink upstairs. Nice and clean for the time being. On to calibrating probes maybe.
@this is me, does your skimmer body look like this?

No.
You have too much light hitting the skimmer body.

30 mins after cleaning. RE Bubble Kings are hands down the best skimmer I've ever used or owned. Thanks for telling me to buy this Nick.
The forbidden coffee.
That looks like it would be really good on toast!
Do anyone know if there is a place to purchase and upgraded skimmer needle wheel?

We used to use Enkamat to hot rod the impellers back in the day. Have a read here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/skimmer-pump-modifications.118370/
That's pretty cool. Do you have any experience with it? Does the mesh break off and get stuck, etc...?
What brand/model?

It’s a BBK 300 Deluxe. Bought in 2016.
I did have to replace the pump after I moved in 2020. It was a $650 ordeal just the pump.
I’m sure there’s plenty of skimmer that probably can do just as fine of a job but I didnt want to change what’s been working so well. And I would’ve paid much more than $650 for another skimmer.
I’m not sure what happened to the pump, maybe when I shut down the tank during the move and the pump didn’t get used for about 6 months, something seized.
