    So I finally got my new skimmer today, was super easy to setup and seems to be working great already with some nasty brown foam already being produced. I'll get some pics tomorrow of it in action.

    So I can't complain one bit about the performance of this skimmer thus far, its working like a champ. Here are some pics of the skimmate collected after about 9 hours of skimming, doesn't seem like much in the pics but the cup has a diameter of 9" and the skimmate is a good 1" deep already. All this I don't even feel like I have it dialed in for optimal performance yet :)

    I am thinking about buying that very same skimmer and replacing my euro-reef rs135 with it. You think it will be a wise decision?
