Got another question ... I was looking at skimmers for a 180 and they seem a little pricey ... is there one that anyone would recommend that is not so much? Thanks!
I'm a big fan of myreefcreations skimmers. I have an MR-3 on my 180g and it kicks ass. Andy over there is a really great and helpful guy.www.myreefcreations.com
EDIT- Also, if you want a good quality skimmer for the tank you're gonna end up paying at least $400+ for it in most cases. Or if you get lucky like I did you can find someone selling a used one.
Thanks for the info JIM27 ... it does look like I'm gonna have to spend about $400 ... but from what I've been told I should just do it and get it over with because I won't wanna skimp on this area ... I wanna do it right the first time anyway ... so thanks!
