WOW! 16oz a day is an awful lot! My 20 doesnt even come close to putting out that much in a week! Is the skimmate really thin, or is there some substance to it? The crap that I pour out of my skimmer cup at the end of the week has a slight viscosity to it. Not really thick, but definitely doesnt pour like water.

Melody My Dear I dont mind at all, I cant take Credit on the tanks wood frame its Real Oak, not Veneer, I found the empty shell at a Garage sale, Missing lots of Items to make it work right, the stand I found at walmart, also Real Oak, matches real nice this tank gets more attention in my Home than the 262 gallon!!

Id like to add that this little tank is closely monitored there is very little margin for error, the ph is always being adjusted, lots of evaporation, small tank , big responibility:)
