DamonG, 007, the , thanks for the response. I raised the skimmer in the sump. I had water level at 11" now at 7" as SRO recommends. Also took the opportunity to thoroughly clean the SRO6000sss. Which is no easy feat. Just wanted to eliminate sources of error. Nothing dramatic yet.

The RD Skimmers sound nice I like the true recirculation but don't like the price and multiple pumps to give recirc. Maybe Santa will be good

Meanwhile I have been speaking with Jeff at RD for his thoughts. Saying it should be stripping po4 and no3 by now and his flow rate of 250 gpd as suggested and high turbulence is due largely to the fact that I went oversized. He also suggested bacteria dosing should not be necessary (but I may try it if no luck in a couple more weeks). Along the lines you mention Damon although my system is elevated nutrient, local to the reactor itself could be a different story.
