as far as the skimmer i never had any problems with it. (if it was up to me) i would set it up as is and if you notice the skimmer isnt working as it should or not pulling out as much then add one to the sump. Just starting out it should be fine unless your adding a huge bio load
Yeah, that's what I was thinking on doing, he even suggested that I could give it a try just to see how the stock skimmer works and if needed then I'll look for one....
I think I still have some time to figure this out:fun4:
