What would you do....new skimmer or new pump on old skimmer?

[duncangweller]

So that begs the next question, how do I get a new skimmer past the missus? If I use the factor of ten and say it only cost $40 then she's going to see right through me.

I haven't really looked at much else other than the omega 150. I would like to try and make my mind up before black Friday as I hear they are going in sale again.

Thanks for all the advice,
Dunc

Fortunately a skimmer is one of those pieces of equipment that you can argue is essential to the well being of the tank. Just tell her that without an effective skimmer, the inhabitants in the tank would in effect be swimming in their own feces. Seriously, that's gross.

Sometimes it's just better to ask for forgiveness than permission. She probably won't stay mad at you forever???

You could always sell the old skimmer to someone who doesn't mind the noise? Tell the wife what you expect to make back from it and hope it sweetens the deal? Lol
