Ahhh, Alan #2000 just down the road. I will agree lighting a 10 gallon is difficult, but not impossible. Anything with a 24" footprint is easier. At this time I have 20G high and an 11 gallon. The lighting in the 11 gallon is top notch thanks to Evan's inventiveness. For the 20H I have the choice of 2X65W PC, ot 175W MH. I am running the MH right now. As to skimmer, I would probably forget it. Water changes are far cheaper, and more effective IMHO.
