I do love my:

1) 2 Vortech MP40W's
2) Hyder 1000 skimmer
3) hamilton Belize 5ft light fixture

+ a million. And exactly those three.

Actually, my $7 2' grabber tongs are pretty sweet too. It's probably one of the most often used items on my tank.

I had a Hydor 1000, I had nothing but trouble with it, I didn't like the fact that I had to be a dentist just to pull the collector cup off. It was a pain in the butt. Do you have the original design or the 2nd gen? Dont take it the wrong way, it performed good, but ijust had some design flaws.

apex controller and tunze 6055 pumps

I love my apex.

agreed but i have a bm mini 160. Iam ashamed to admit that my number 4 is a avast marine swabbie... that thing is the tits

:sad: omfg, I hope that wasn't you it happened to. This reminds me of an incident I had back in high school that involved a big container of salsa and me trying to shake it as hard as I can in the kitchen. Let's just say salsa won and I had to take a shower.:redface:

How? Is that the skimmer cup in the middle of your carpet?

Yes... yes that is haha.
The skimmer head fits reallllyy tightly into the neck, unless modified you need to use a great deal of force to remove it. I just used a little to much "great deal of force" and accidentally launched it half way across the room.
