    Anyone have one of these skimmers? I have ordered the SM-161, looks basically like the SWC or reef octopus setup.. Just wondering if anyone has one or knows someone with on and if it works ok? The LFS has one on his big tank and tells me he likes it alot. Of course hes gonna say that if he wants to sell any of them..

    Tank is a 90 Gal and I have a 20L for a sump.. Ive got the skimmer running now, its skimming great.. Did take a bit for it to break in, I had to play with it constantly for about 4 days until it settled down and started skimming nicely.. Now its making a nice coffee colored, horribly stinkin skimmate..
