Filtration question

[mark]

For what Big Al's carries it is a medium to high end.

I picked up a SS65 a while back for a QT and though does skim, it also leaks and can be a pain to adjust.

alright, so now that we've all agreed that the Super Skimmer should be returned...I should ask,

Are you even running a sump system?

That will also determine what type of skimmer you'll need to get. If you're going with a sump, go crazy! Match the display tank volume in your sump (so get another 33 gallon tank) If not, your choice in quality skimmers narrows a bit

No, I hadn't planned on running a sump...Maybe in the future but not to start...

Easier to drill before everything becomes established

I'd recommend a sump. There are many benefits to having one. And drilling the tank is the way to go.
