Bob, what skimmer did you try, on what size tank? What made the experience unsatisfying?
It must be remembered that I have been keeping salt water tanks off and on since the middle seventies. I have probably tried every gadget that was foisted upon the unwary hobbyist. And my findings are that the skimmer is just an overrated gadget.
