Doug, sorry to hijack your thread ... I know nothing about skimmers. I just wanted to know where you got your cube tank from, I am looking for one the same size

Sorry I didn't even know anyone had responded to this thread.

Beckett or Venturi, not sure, I think I've got the skimmer working now (maybe).

As for the tank I got it from King Ed pets, 604 525-4955, it's a SeaStar and although I love the size I'm not overly happy with the tank. I tried to use an algae brush on it and the glass scratched, it looks like crap and of course it's right in the middle of the front pane of glass. When I say it scratched it's not like a deep scratch it's more like a poor polish, not like gravel scratched it.

Star fire???? NOOOOO I wish it was, it's just a Sea Star and I'm at the point where I'm thinking of ordering a second one and being extra careful about cleaning the glass. Money is tight so I wont be able to get a Star fire but in the mean time I think I'm going to complain and see if maybe they had a batch of bad glass, maybe I'll get a warranty replacment, who knows.
