Sounds like an awesome system you're building. I'm researching skimmers myself, so I won't be much help :) I'm sure someone will pop in their :twocents:

Congrats!

Ok the upgraded skimmer wont cost you anything or this whole setup wont? Either way how did you do that?

just the skimmer, I wish the hole system

 

[daugherty]

well nevermind about the pumps that i recomended since they are external.

 

[d2mini]

Woot!
Who's making your tank?

I've been reading nothing but good about Eheim pumps. They can be used internal or external. I just bought a 1260 to run externally. They are supposed to run very quiet and last forever.

Oh, and look at the i-tech skimmers. Read this thread and you'll want one. ;)

I pm'd him, not email. You join the forum and then you can pm him. As well as get access to the forums, which he responds to. Or call the store. He's really great to talk to. Super nice guy.
