    I recommend you get a Seaclone 100 hang on the back skimmer from www.bigalsonline.com and you have decided to make the best investment in your system! It is a great value.

    If you get it to look like Craig's Seaclone I'll back that up! His is dialed in... check out the gallery pic. 8)

    There are so many good skimmers now, how much money you got? THROW A STICK! You'll hit one. [smiley=beatnik2.gif]

    I've got this skimmer dialed in and it is pulling very dark and wet skimmate from the tank. I could put a larger volume skimmer, bigger pump and skimmer tube, but with the volume of filter feeders (soft corals and mushrooms) I don't want to overskim at this point. Seaclone is a great value HOB Skimmer.

    In the future, if I were to increase my fish bioload, I would move up to a HOB Aqua Medic Turbofloter !000 Multi as I don't have room for the in-sup version.
