    Skimmer...whazat? thus far I have been letting nature take care of its self in my 10 gal....gone about 3 months now just doing 10% water changes ever 2-3 weeks........I thought about building a skimmer (which I will do if/when I decide I want a skimmer) but decided to wait and see how things do biologically.....I'm a big fan of the "K.I.S.S." mentality....

    I think any one would take one for that. I have a SeaClone 100 on my 55 gal and nothing on my 5.5 gal. The SeaClone is nosier and puts way to many air bubbles in if you use it right. But it is getting stuff out of my tank. Even if I can only run it during the day.

    Default just picked up a skimmer off e-bay and all seem well

    i just picked up a WON Brothers "Clean-up" 200 on ebay and the design looks great, the packing was good item arrived intact and so far everything works. The price was $109 shiped and that was $300 less than my LFS. I figured there are no moving parts in it so what can go wrong. Time Will Tell.



    Is there anywhere on this site that you can do a write up on new products. I just spent $1500 on new stuff and would like to let people know whats a good buy and what on E-bay is crap. I have 50lbs of LR coming today on a Jet from FL to Manchester NH. The shipping was cheaper than UPS ground and it will be landing at 4pm. The e-bay user is drooping it off at the airport at 11Am today(hows that for fast shipping) the cost, $154 for the 50lbs and the same day shipping. i will let people know what the stuff looks like. The e-bay user has 100% feedback all for LR and LS. his price is $2.15 lb. i will look around the site and keep you all posted
    I went to Vermont for the week, When i came home my Ex had killed all my fish!

    Sure is, use the vendor's review forum for now, I suppose we should either create a product review forums as well at some point in the future, but feel free to use that forum for both for now,

    Curious to see how that WON skimmer does, I've been watching the auctions for a while now but not seen any reviews.
    Every electronic device is manufactured with smoke stored deep inside... only a true genius can find a way to set it free.
