Sure. We are talking big bucks here. The skimmer costs $20.00+ new.
Not sure I can cough up that much cash ... will you give me a deal ? ... do you have a air pump for sale as well ?

Now it is beginning to sound more interesting I also have an Optima pump. The problem is that is somewhat too large for the skimmer. Then I purchased a valve to bleed off some air. That was too fiddley, so I parked everything.

Yes, I'm at the U of S. doing plant sciences via the college of agriculture.
I started out in Arts and Sciences doing Classics then switched in
3rd year. I hope to graduate before I die of old age.

ob reef- set up the 10 gallon and bought a tiny piece of live rock
I keep watching it to see whether anything moves.

If Buk_A_neer can't swing the loan for the little protein skimmer,
I'm interested!

Well I am a honours graduate of the Horticulture Technology program at Olds College, so as a fellow plant and nano person, you have first refusal.

A 10 gallom tank is not that much water, I agree that water change would be more benefit. A skimmer is nice but you'll be hanging more things that just require more maintainence.

Bob_I that's cool Do you find your dry plant expertise carries
over? I'm definitely interested in the skimmer, how much
do you want for it? Will it run off a small pump?

Ken: I want the skimmer because I'm a beginner and it may
compensate for some of the mistakes I'm sure to make. I
will still do water changes of course.

Live rock has something weird on it! I will try to post a picture.

For $15.00 I will pack it up and send it to you. It should run off a small pump.
