Yeah Lori I think had I waited any longer and yes I too would have been hunting for an impeller for my still awesome but outdated reef octopus NW 200 series skimmer. And now it is so much quieter and pulling so much skimate out already!! Guess those snails were stuck in there for a bit...:) The shop vac makes it sooooo much easier when it comes to the last inch of water/muck. Be very affraid of the minster bristle worms......I'm talkin large marge!!

Yeah, Greg your sump not in your stand that will make the number of bumps on ur head less!!!
I like the idea of it being tucked away, but maintenance is a pain in the butt.

My sump is perpetually clean, I only buy non-pooping fish. ;)

Oh can you fish-whisper my fish?
