Well, I added all my LR to my new tank this morning, and I figured I'd show you nice folks what it looked like. I haven't aquascaped the tank yet as...
Well, after dinner I decided to see if I could figure out why the skimmer was surging. I checked the little air intake hole on top of the outlet...

I'm fairly new, but most people I personally know have used IO, as have I so far. In Vancouver a 160gal pail of IO sells for $40 but where I live...
