well guys, finally went with a big skimmer. Here are some pics in action. The skimmer has been running for 24 hours and it has produced roughly 4 times the amount of skimmate that my aqua c urchin pro produced in a day. Initial skimmate is a bit wet, but we'll see what happens after a few days. Skimmate shown is from my tank which hasnt been fed for 1.5 days. Uses a thread wheel technology
Pros - lots of small bubbles, size 23" height, price around $650 to $700, low wattage pumps, quiet, leight weight
cons - So far, the only con is it is letting micro bubbles back into the sump via the return. Need to find a way to remedy that. Any suggestions?
