I have hooked up a coralife super skimmer on my cube, and although it is finicky and a pain in the ass as it is breaking in, it is allready starting to pull some nasty gunk out of the tank (just cycling with some semi-cured LR right now)
What I am trying to determine is if it will be effective if I only run it for a couple hours in the evenings.
- the new tank is in our bedroom (It's really time to get out of condo life and buy a house with more space) and #1 it is loud as heck, #2 I'm just worried out leaking/overflowing and wouldrather run it in the evenings when I am here to "watch" it.
Thanks in advance for any comments, suggestions, prior experiences, etc.

sorry greg, actually read your post this time and if its too loud, save up for one of the quieter skimmers. but a couple of hours a night is still better than nothing. otherwise, you'll just get used to the noise LOL
