    yep stock. ill be going ati.

    alright, so the pump finally came.... THE SKIMMER IS SET UP!!!!!! right now i am wet skimming all the crap out of my tank and its working perfectly. im a little crazy about this skimmer. its working really well. everything is easy to control on it and it is really powerful. im going to be buying a filter sock to get the micro bubbles out of the sump, but other than that, its perfect. a lot quieter, huge skimmer cup, and reeaaalllly powerful. im sure ill have 0 phos and trates by the time im done.
