Heh, I think you're worrying far too much about using the skimmer. Surely if so many people use it, and recommend it.. it must be good to use. By no means am I trying to sound rude at all... but I think you need to put your worried mind to rest. The chances of the pump coming off and having water shoot out everywhere is very slim. Use extra clamps or zip ties (like I do) to give yourself more peace of mind.

I think you'll be very happy in the end... (if you choose to use them of course)

Good luck,

I would like to ask why you want a skimmer. My zoo/ricordea tank hasn't had a skimmer on it since it has been set up and with what I would consider a good bio-load, yellow tang, 3 chromis, and a potters angel. The sponges and feather dusters are doing way better in that tank then the other "skimmed" ones and with less algae problems.
