Thanks! Seeing this skimmer in person makes me really happy I didn't get the larger model. It's a lot bigger than I imagined. I've never owned a skimmer, but I've been keeping fish for over 10 years and I feel like I know a good product when I see one. That being said, I feel like it is well made, sturdy and the parts fits together really well. The pump is a little cheesy but very quiet and I just know that it'll need replacing at some point. Overall I'm very happy with the purchase

I realize that, but I like it better like this. I understand the risk of it falling setup like it is

Inhabitants include:
Gumby zoa
Kedd red zoas
Gobstopper zoas
Armor of god zoas
2 frags of Ora green birdsnest
1 unidentified birdsnest that appears to be purple
Fish are:
Cherub angel that has behaved himself so far....
Clown
6-line wrasse
Probably only 2 more fish I would think, huh? Thinking a midas blenny and maybe a blue spot jaw, but not quite sure.
Also 1 skunk cleaner and 1 fire shrimp. So far no problems between the 2.
Thanks for looking!

Hmm.
Honestly, you seem to be rushing things.
It might fine, and of course we all hope it goes well.
But it takes a while for the tank to really stabilize. It is a lot more than just ammonia and nitrite bacteria cycling.
If nothing else, be careful in how much you spend, in case things go badly in a month or two.
