I have high hopes for this skimmer as it will be my fourth try at a decent skimmer for my tank: first, stock skimmer w/ stock pump - second, Sapphire Aquatics skimmer in the middle chamber and third, stock skimmer w/ stronger luft pump. The Sapphire was very disappointing considering their reputation at the time (if I recall, they are now out of business (?)) and really didn't produce anything. And, of course, the air driven stock skimmers just aren't that efficient. I do 2 or 3 WCs a month, usually 2 or 3 gallons at a time and feed sparingly at the moment. I'd like to pick up my feeding and start using some nori (which produces quite a bit of phosphate, as all foods do) for my Pygmy angel, so I want a quality skimmer. Any who, I'll take some pics once I've got it up and running. I understand the tubing from the skimmer will need to be shortened a bit, but other than that, no mods should be needed. I hope.
