Fleece filters can have a big impact on the skimmers output since the pull the solids out before they get a chance to breakdown. As such, you should expect to see a decline in skmmate production. Not a bad thing either. Just something that you need to tune the skimmer accordingly for. You will likely need to run it wetter than you are used to in order to maintain consistency. And loaded with fish is kind of relative. A truly heavy load by our standards is about 1/2” of fish per display gallon and Bubble Kings are very conservatively rated in terms of their tank sizing. So if your display is at the low end of the tank size range, that skimmer will want a truly heavy load to maintain best performance. With our fleece based dreambox systems, we normally recommend customers go with a size smaller on their skimmers since the fleece can be so efficient in removing solids that would otherwise become dissolved organics.
