+ a million. And exactly those three.

Actually, my $7 2' grabber tongs are pretty sweet too. It's probably one of the most often used items on my tank.

I had a Hydor 1000, I had nothing but trouble with it, I didn't like the fact that I had to be a dentist just to pull the collector cup off. It was a pain in the butt. Do you have the original design or the 2nd gen? Dont take it the wrong way, it performed good, but ijust had some design flaws.

Yes... yes that is haha.
The skimmer head fits reallllyy tightly into the neck, unless modified you need to use a great deal of force to remove it. I just used a little to much "great deal of force" and accidentally launched it half way across the room.
