Re: Skimmer time

Great decision, that is a good HOB and should do the job, a good skimmer is the basis for a good tank and will help to better ensure your success.

Re: Skimmer time

Thanks, everyone. Joeman, thanks for the link. I am using the transformer route, as it seems like that will be better than replacing the pump, at least until I get the skimmer and see if I have further options. Your link really helped.

Yote, if you think you can't read the German on the site, you should have seen the emails I got from the sales rep when I ordered. At least you had pics to go by when surfing the site... Apparently they wanted to know if I wanted the European model, and alls I can say in German is... "that is hot" (Das ist heiß), you are hot (Du bist heiß) and chewing gum (Kauengummi)...

Let's just say the skimmer FINALLY shipped Friday.

I'll update once I get the unit running! Auf Wiedersehen!

Re: Skimmer time

In that case, here's one more for your list.. the most important one:

"Ein grosses Bier bitte!" Or "Zwei grosse Bier bitte!" if you're drinking with a friend

glad the link helped.
