Ya, here's a job I'm not looking forward to down the road with my 50g sump. At least it's not in my stand.

That's so funny, I printed off the butter chicken recipe and was all set to run out for a few ingredients but decided to finish the yucky job instead....butter chicken on the weekend. And I just finished up the rest of my salsa yesterday. Afterall I couldn't just make enough for the swap, I made a double batch.....sooooo good.

That salsa is wicked! I actually saved a little for Boo when he gets home to try.. I hope he hates it as he doesn't like cilantro.

Yeah, Greg your sump not in your stand that will make the number of bumps on ur head less!!!
I like the idea of it being tucked away, but maintenance is a pain in the butt.

Yeah Lori I think had I waited any longer and yes I too would have been hunting for an impeller for my still awesome but outdated reef octopus NW 200 series skimmer. And now it is so much quieter and pulling so much skimate out already!! Guess those snails were stuck in there for a bit... The shop vac makes it sooooo much easier when it comes to the last inch of water/muck. Be very affraid of the minster bristle worms......I'm talkin large marge!!
