Heya Mike,
Been awhile, hope all is well on your end of the world.
Out of all the skimmers you've tried which would be your favourite.
How much skimmate are you pulling out per day?
After buying and trying out each skimmer, are you always left with the feeling that you should be pulling more skimmate?
Thanks by the way for testing them out for everyone lol. You would be able to put together one hell of a skimmer review when its all said and done.

Mike,

Wanna sell your Kalk mixer . Just kidding. Did you order that mixer new or found it used. That thing is awesome. What I hate about the regular kalk reactors is that the powerheads get so worn so quickly because of the kalk.

I can't believe I'm having reactor envy....

Or maybe it was a reactorgasm after looking at pics of your reactor.

Have you tried this skimmer Mike? 9"x7ft tall (now thats some contact time!) apparently it was a one off custom from Precision Marine. Cleaning this beast must be a chore.
