By far my least favorite reefing related activity, skimmer deep cleaning.
I bought another second hand DELTEC 1000i while I was in Germany. In my opinion one of the best and quietest skimmer for tanks with 150-250 gallons.
The second hand skimmer was in a rather bad visual condition but looked great after 5 days in sulfamic acid and another 40 minutes of scrubbing:
This is how my current skimmer looked like after 6 months - need to increase my cleaning intervals to 3 month apparently, this was just too dirty:
This is what I am only using for cleaning, nothing else (except some hydrogen peroxide to remove stains):
