    No I don't but thanks. Just curious if that was a hardware-store find. Cool skimmer.

    But again it's kind of expensive and more than you'll need, so splitting it up amongst fellow reefers is a good idea.

    Oh my wife knows. My freind and I are building a 1k tank in his basement so the 450 sounds small.

    The pump thats on it is quite loud. I am going to either put one of my threadwheel Velocity T4's or a heavily modified Lguna 2400 on it soon. The pump is the limiting factor right now. Its stoping the skimmer from reaching its maximum potential.

    Thanks
    Scott
