what would happen if you turned that filter media more vertical. The water would have to pass through it in order to get into the next chamber.
Which skimmer to get

Try using a less dense filter media that won't clog as quickly. That way you're still trapping the larger particles but not clogging your sponge. Also, as you get your tank cleaned up the way you want it, you'll have less of the large particles floating around to worry about.
Good call!!

so, are you getting the skimmer with the mesh mod??? i would definately make sure you get your hands on one of those impellars asap..
Skimerwhisperer read this post from the company who made it it talks all about the upgraded impellar and this is from september of last year so i'm sure it's stock for it by now

"The impeller prototypes have been built with a rapid prototyping machine and are in final testing at the moment. We hope to begin production this month and have the impellers available in August. I can tell you that even the worst performing design far outperforms the standard flat blade impeller that comes with the Maxi-jet.
I am also having the impeller for the Nanocube and Aquapod skimmer pumps made so they should be ready for testing in the next couple of weeks."
so they should be out in august

So when do you get this? Should work some wonders for you high nitrates. FYI: It won't remove the nitrates directly. You'll need to do water changes for that. But it will remove the gunk before it can turn into Nitrates.
So with that said, have you done in water changes to help get your Nitrates down?

I just did a 10% change and it should be here within a couple days...I should be on here alot more because the jerks from ReefBuilders forum banned me for two weeks...people didn't like the fact that I "pushed buffer products" or "wanted people to have quicker cycles" because some guy wanted more coralline algae and I recommended a 2 part buffer product and I offered BioSpira as a cycling agent...I think it's moreso the fact that the grownups on that site don't like taking advice from younger people...

That or the fact you are (I think) 2 months into the hobby, and they have 20 years on top of that.
most everyone generally agrees that a quick solution is no solution at all in our hobby, more of a band-aid, which is probably why you got flak for the quick fixes you suggested

Well my defense was that they aren't quick fixes they are products to use on a regular basis that will help the person get into a basic routine for the rest of his tank career...and most of the guys on there have less than 2 years experience
