Just goes to show that the skimmer has to be purposed specifically to each tank and its inhabitants.

Also a good example of how you (and every other victim of Red Sea, myself included) could have saved themselves some money and frustration if we had seeked out consensus/opinion/user experiences on reef forums prior to the purchase!

My favorite online source would be Reef Keeping Magazine online.

Well if you have approximately 78 weeks, you may be able to read all the archived articles they have on there. Tonnes, and tonnes of really good information. I look towards hard published materials for information more than the internet. If it is hard published (like a magazine or book) then people tend to be more discriminatory on what they write and suggest sticking to proven methods, and discussing new methods with an open mind, but also a good warning.

Of particular interest to me was the series of articles they did on comparative skimmer performance. Air stone, anyone???
