    So at one point the seaclone was collecting skimmate? Interesting.

    anyway, reef octopus is a good brand. What is your price range?

    Reef O****** for in sump and A*** C for HOB <-- that's what I found the majority reefers suggesting. I am using the Cora**** 65 and adjusting the bubble level everyday is just painful and annoying. :(
