ya the skimmer i have is kinda s&@t but i didnt wanna spend any money on the tank so.. it did the job. i also had to build my tank around the skimmer and the thing that i didnt want to do was add water everyday for the skimmer to work properly cause its one of the wooden airstone ones so i didnt wanna have to add water everyday and fiddle with the air knob. so i decided to have a camber for the skimmer and just add water to the other chamber. lol it turned out that i had to add water everyday anyways or i'd have some nice salt to clean off my desk hahaha.

That sounds like a really really kool idea with building it into a wall. I will b following this thread closely i was actually thinking of doing this kinda set up into a shelf and having a little zoa tank or something.
