    does ocotopus make nano, or small sized skimmers and if so, which one should i look at. My Octopus BH 800s will arrive tomorrow so i'm hoping it's going to be a good skimmer.

    i'm going to try to buy the water from the lfs until i get tired enough of having to go and buy water all of the time, then i will give in and get my own ro/di unit. I'll take a look into adding cheato into his tank. Flow at the surface is horrible, so really not much flow there. And thanks for the help :)

    If you want to increase flow to the surface just grab a k1 or small maxi jet and point it towards the top of the tank! Cheap way to help the gas exchange and make a cool ripple across the top of the water
