Mine is still hosting the powerhead.

Taking fish with a slurp gun can cause injury also; the suction is hard on their eyes. Experinced scuba divers can use these devices safely and gently, but free divers are more rushed for time and often injure their prey. The best way to ensure marine fish are not harmed is to buy tanked...

SaltFan: I thought the skimate was only foamy as it pushes up through the tube. Once the foam goes into the collection cup doesn't it turn into the scummy stinky water? Or at least that is how it works in my CPR. Maybe my adjustments are off also.
