    How would you lower a float switch in your skimmer cup?

    By the time the water level reaches the switch, there's already stuff spilling through the holes in the top. Probably wouldn't be a big deal if I just emptied the thing on a regular basis ;) Anyway, I imagine there is a simple way to do this but my brain is broken and I thought I'd ask here...

    Less fequent water change with skimmer?

    I got a skimmer for my reef a few months ago for some reason I thought I could get away with doing my 10% weekly water change to 10% every 2 weeks when I got the skimmer. After reading more online I’m seeing I still need to do 10% a week or 20% every two weeks. I plan on moving back to 10% a...
