Just wondering....where would a skimmer go on this tank? Besides in-tank.

Your right about the price but....tis the price for convenience :) I was actually just curious about where you could put a skimmer in the back chamber. I would think removing the bio-balls would be give you some place.

Gotta agree with chort on this, Miz. I have less than that into my tank, sump, plumbing, overflow, skimmer, and return. I ordered my tank, picked up the sump at the $1/Gallon sale at petco, picked up my skimmer from an bay seller, and the return from another reefer.

I'm not wanting to buy it!! I'm just curious as to where/how a skimmer could fit in the back area. More of why would they even build a tank like this, charge the crazy price and then NOT make allowances for a skimmer.

IME - Small skimmers are all junk anyways.

But if there was such thing as a small skimmer that would be worth the while, I would yank out the bioballs and put it in the back....either a small one that is inside or a hang on.
