if you add up my 50G refuge, 35G frag, 50G sump (runs maybe 25 gallons avg), and 50G mixing tank (circulated between water changes), the total water volume is actually 380. Does that change things, or is it just helping to dilute the bioload?
Why did you have to change the cup anyday? And doesnt that contradict 'underpowered'?? Or are you saying the skimmate was more watery, and not the thick desirable stuff that takes longer?
I've never run a protein skimmer before so I'm not exactly sure what optimal performance should be like.
