    Absolutely on the pics your thoughts on the skimmer when it gets up and running. Always good to hear reviews.

    I like SWC too. Looking forward to the review. What was your last skimmer and how big is your system?

    I have a 55 gal oceanic I have'nt ran a skimmer in a longtime but the one I had was a Seaclone....what a piece of junk!!!! it leaked where it connected at the bottom I have been running a sump but it was not big enough to put a skimmer in it the tank has been running for years I dont have that much in it about 60 lbs live rock a Acan,Green Favia,Toadstool,Green Hairy Mushrooms,Zoo's,Montipora,Snails,Brittlestar....I used to have lots of stuff but a freeze came thru a few years ago and wiped me out did'nt have power for 4 days....i'm fixing to gear up again though....lol...i'm probably gonna run about a 40 gal Rubbermaid with about a 5 gal Rubbermaid in the corner of the 40 gal where i'll put the skimmer and cut a hole about 10" on the side of the skimmer tub so I can keep that constant water depth and I have a Rio 2100 for the return pump
