You know, I never even thought about an in tank model skimmer. When I mentioned it to some people over at Big Al's they said that they frequently get a lot of returns on those. I always take their advice with a grain of salt however as some of it has proven to be good but a lot seems to be just very strong personal preference.

I will look and see if I can find an in-tank unit that would work for 90g. That would be preferable as I do not have a sump (yet), and, when I set up my tank, I don't believe I left enough clearance for a HOB model (I only have about 3" from the wall live and learn I suppose)

Default Picture Update!

So last night was a big day, I bought a Remora HOB protien skimmer (it just barely fits behind my tank, damn me and my poor planning). I rinsed it with hot water to reduce the break in period and already it is generating a bit of foam and a tad bit of tea colored water.

Figured this called for a photo update. I swear that one day I will buy a camera to replace my broken one, but for now, its cell phone pictures :|



Haven't done a livestock update post yet, so here is whats in the tank. I don't plan on adding much else for a little while. I am going to let the tank age (and my wallet replenish) for a bit.

4 Clowns
10 Turbo Snails
10 Hermit Crabs
1 Zoo Frag

I put a sofa near the tank and it has become my favorite reading area in the house. I find the sound of the water to be very relaxing and I can just stare into the tank for hours. I can only imagine the effect it will have when it is fully matured with lots of healthy fish and corals
