    I could give you a mental image that would scar you for life but I won't...

    ...On second thought, I will anyway. Next time you eat steak, think of skimmate when you're pouring on the A1.

    I see lots of different brands of skimmers here, and all doing a great job. That makes it tough for a newbie trying to pick out a skimmer when everyone thinks their brand is the best. I just bought an el cheapo sc-65, and honestly it's the best skimmer I've ever owned. I'll try to post a pic when I get home.

    Here are pics of my skimmate from my CPR BakPak that has only been running for a little over a week on a 40 gallon breeder with a light bioload.

    Cheapo SC65. Best $75 I've ever spent.

    Another SWC Xtreme, here's mine after feeding this morning. About 10 days since it has gone into the system.
