I'll be watching for pics!!!!!!!! Nothing better than seeing a skimmer running full tilt, with lots of stinky!!!!!!
How is the tank responding to the new skimmer? Any noticeable difference in water quality/clarity? Have you run any tests on your parameters since installing it?

Tank looks the same...it was clear, so no noticeable diff there....The only test I ran was the phosphate last week...it was still one...I am doing a w/c today, so I may test the phosphates later.....I have some other stuff to do today, so that is throwing a wrench into my tank maintenance

Hey, Meowzer...on a scale of 1-10 how loud would you say the unit is when it's running with the doors closed on the stand? Does it make any air sucking noises?

Looking good!!!!!!
Looks like your running it alittle drier now? I bet that has a beautiful aroma doesn't it!!!!!!!

OH YEAHHHHH...LOL....I never thought that you would want something to be so stinky

I am thinking of attaching a gallon jug to it, it does have a drain, I may eventually. BUT SO FAR...I am very happy with it
I thank you for all you help with this
and it is SOOOOOOOOOO quiet.....

So......can you say your money was well spent???? Aside from the nasty chore of cleaning it now??????
It's looking really well. Next time you clean it, save an old clear cup or jar and pour the tasty mix in it so you can see the coloration as well......I'm pretty sure the more you fine tune it, you could almost make it look like dark, dark coffee......Just don't slip up and take a sip of it.......
