    Not sure if I'm understanding correctly, but you might try just getting some cheap airline from the LFS/petsmart.

    Not a problem will do guys. I am completely new to saltwater, any tips on newbies for skimmer usage?

    I have my SC150 up and running and its working great. I really don't have anything to compare it to since this is my first skimmer, but considering the amount of stuff its skimming out of the water from just 3 fish and how clear my water is, i would say its a fantastic product, especial comparing it to other super high priced skimmers

    I've had the Sc65 up and running for a few weeks now, and I'm totally impressed. I can't count the number of skimmers I've tried over the years, but this is the most bang for the buck I've ever purchased. Fortunately, I didn't have any "out of the box" issues, so I can't speak for their customer service. That's where many companies fail....too bad for them.
