    Trust me do not buy that skimmer you are better off with out. You might want to look at Sapphire Nano Skimmers. I have tried the Fission and it is not worth it.

    I was told from the Live Fish Store guy if you skimmer isn't making enough bubbles to inject some Hydorogen peroxide into the skimmer like some sort of Ozone and it will make more bubbles no matter how good the skimmer pump works.

    Cornfacereef, knock it the FU(K OFF. Its Annoying and definatly not the right website to tell a bunch of bogus bullshit. I know you really do know something about tanks, but you are just being an ASS and trying to screw it up for ALOT of people. You do realize this is the internet and if someone types "Skimmer doesnt work" and that comment comes up. You Just screwed their tank if they didnt now what an ignorant foolish waste-of-my-and-many-other-people's-time AHOLE you are.

    Pardon my French.
