many thanks for your input everyone
i will try raising the
skimmer aqain too see what occurs but it seems to skim only slightly richer if i do but with a lot less quantity
its just a cheap airstone driven
skimmer it pulls about 2.5 fluid ounces of that yellow liquid daily
will definately look into the tunze nano a lot of people seem to like them and noise is a factor
in
skimmer choice so that might be the one as i dont want to go the
sump route with this tank
due to location potential leaks/overflows are not an option(water going out and in the tank now that just scares me

)
will keep trying with this one but i think an upgrade is inevitable
