Sounds good. I just looked up that skimmer and it looks just like a powerfilter in the design. Let us know how well it works

ya, i took a good look at it b4.... its relatively new so i new not really to ask.... i saw some other nano skimmer thing that look like something red sea would make.. but this rio, i think in a few days after hard tweeking (compair 2 a aqua c) im sure ill be able to get someting dark outta it.

 

[burning2nd]

after installing last night this morning it had produced some nice dark stuff...




pritty eazy to set, good price (30$)

i give it a 7 outta 10..

(aqua a geting 10-10)

That's great you are getting skimmate already and dark at that! Usually it takes a while to break in some skimmers and then some take forever to fine tune

 

[burning2nd]

ya fine tune..... gotta do that

i'll order one for the hell of it now...lol
