I like getting uncured as it is a great way to cycle a new tank.. To me the work involved is worth it. Plus you will get a bit more stuff.. But that is my opinion.

As for the skimmer.. No the Sea Clone is not worth $100.00. I have two Sea junk Mod's sitting here I am planning to blow up and post the video online. Don't buuy it. I am assuming that if you are talking about a store in Vic, so it must be either Raf [img]images/smiles/icon_mad.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/icon_mad.gif[/img] or Ken. [img]images/smiles/icon_mad.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/icon_mad.gif[/img] And they will do anything and say anything to get your money. [img]images/smiles/icon_mad.gif[/img] Spend the money and get a skimmer worth while. In this hobby you are better off to spend the cash now. If you don't, you will later.. I guarantee it. A good hang on skimmer for up to 90 gallons is the Precision Marine HOT-1. If you can tho I would highly recommend having an in sump model. I am running a PM Venturi skimmer. the 426. It kicks butt. No doubt about it. J&L sells both. And are in stock. I saw tehm when I was in this weekend. Several times.. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

If you find anything for sale, even online other than the two I mentioned, pop on here before you buy it and ask what people think about it and how it runs. They will tell you.. Bluntly, most likely... [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] Save yourself the grief others of us have had. Get the right stuff from the start.
