Yea, I added the attachments to my Koralia's becuz without them my sand gets blown around the tank.. The attachments help reduce how much sand gets moved... i tried multiple spots/angles to eliminate it without the attachments and just can not find the right combo.
Protein Skimmer is on the list here shortly.
