$300 is cheap when you look and consider their track record. You know my thought on skimmers Meowzer!!!!

I don't know how you can keep all those fish tanks, you must be rich, or rather you would be if you didn't keep so many fish tanks.
I have had many sizes of tanks over the years but only one at a time, and I spent a small fortune on every one of them. I hate skimmers, I feel your pain...I have high hopes that one in my new sump will do better.
Oh except the two 30g longs I had where the landlord would sneak in my apartment and steal my fish water...
You remember that story.

LOL...yeah...that was a great story.....I laughed again just now

Believe me, I am far from rich...I have 2 jobs, and all the kids are gone now, so the money I save on grocery's go to my tanks...haha
AND I probably spent my island getaway fund right here in my own fish room

maybe next year....LOL

The Urchin is doing rather well right now. I have had to adjust the collection cup to go almost all the way up to just catch the foam. Let me tell you that I had no idea all the crap this thing could pull out of the water. Would you like a pic of the collection cup before I empty it tomorrow?

I really don't want to turn this into any kind of debate........but. If you left a portion of food out and thawed for a week, it would smell too right?
I myself am playing with the carbon source dosing right now. I have found my flaw, thanks to a sick clown. Never the less I still don't run a skimmer even with dosing the carbon source. I am really pushing the limits and going against the grain on this one. At least as far as I know. It is fun to learn though. I should mention, I am aerating the tank. Just not skimming.

Well, i had a rotten start to my day and now it is ending with my basement flooding due to the rain. the sump pump is getting the water out of the basement, but if it doesnt stop raining soon, Not sure if the pump will be able to keep up. Awesome.
Here is your picture and sorry for the delay

I took mine apart and used the pumps and parts for other things

The one I have now I am sending to Posiden to see whan the can do with it......if anything

I can get hoses and pumps off, and the cup...but I could never get the rest of the body apart even to clean.
It's a good idea...I can use the pump for sure.
