    lol I got an aquaticlife internal mini 115
    they are rated for 30 gallons I have 27 or so gallons of water with the sump. I guess thats better than running it in a biocube 29 lol?

    anyways I've read they take a week or so to break in and then the skim like champs. Can't beat $50 shipped for a skimmer that works

    I hope so,

    been waiting on my DIY live rock, It's almost there. The PH is almost neutral then I can add it to the tank.

    skimate

    well it's been about a week so it is starting to pull some skim, i haven't screwed around with the outlets or the hight yet but here is 2 days of skimate any tips? also i hear that these skimmers take a bit long to break in,so should i just wait some more until I mess around with it?
