    turning 30g sump into fuge...

    ya 1/16 minus the inside measurement its a perfect clearence. i have had mine up less than a month and all kinds of critters moving around in there, algae growing everywhere and very little algae in the display tank. i also used rock rubble instead of bio balls.

    protien skimmer

    i also have a sea clone the pump went out, so i did some research on pumps. i put a rio 800 with the rejuvenation kit on it, and it works way better than the maxi jet. it forms bubbles like a needle wheel. alot cheaper than getting a new skimmer cost me about 30 bucks.
