To rich for my blood. I'm not knocking BK's, but after doing enough research, I decided to go a different route. It sometimes comes down to being a ****ing contest and I would rather spend my money on corals and fish

After reading your post in the Warner Marine skimmer thread, I guess its safe to assume its not an ATB...

New skimmer?

So you feel the H&S isnt keeping up or is too small?

I only usally hear good things about H&S. If its not BK i'm a little lost a big ER?

The H&S is a great skimmer and it is rated for 300 gallons so I don't think it is undersized at all. I just wanted a different skimmer. I'm like Sang, I get bored too easy :lol:

I needed to get back to my roots. I have some more candy to post, but you guys must not be hungry for more :lol2:

Shhh, it's a secret, and no one will guess!

Mark, I think I want a frag of each of that last set of pics, as well as the OI! :lol: Very nice, my friend.

Mark, you know you LOVE the ATB's

 

[tbone28]

[mpoletti]

This one should be called the 50K

I love them on other tanks. They just aren'y my cup of tea. I am curious to see if yours will be better. I have my fingers crossed for you.

We should all boycott Mark's thread until he spills the beans!

Has there been bad feedback on the ATB's? I have not seen any but havn't really been looking to hard either.

Yeah, me too.

I think the main problems with the ATB's are with the small model. They use the small eheim. H&S and Deltec (and ER) don't use this pump because it doesn't perform as well as the AB 2001. But the 1260 models and airstar models should be okay. But only time will tell

Hope I can get you over when I finally get it. You haven't been by since I built the tank
