    Sealife system skimmer

    I have 3 Sealife Systems wet/drys. The skimmer works individually. It sits right in the sump part of the wet/dry. Also in the sump part is my return pump. The outflow part of my skimmer pours back over the polishing block or sponge next to the bioballs compartment. :cool:
