    Is a skimmer worth it . . .

    Why insump skimmers are better then HOB skimmers

    thanks for the replys, you have answered the question that has been bugging me for a while. Even thought it was fairly obvious... the size of the skimmer helps, i thought it had to do with where the water was.
