It basically works the exact same as any other full size skimmer just on a smaller scale. The pump I used is a rio 800. The only other difference is instead of using a gate valve on the exit to control the height in the skimmer I just made my own kinda valve with a pipe with a hole cut and a t grinded out like so

I just looked at one... worked out the approx volume I needed based on the zeo-vit info and made one. It's pretty simple just need to get water flowing through the zeo-vit rock and a way to shake it. Some people even go really simple and just put the rock in a filter bag

Yeah I think it might be, it's been a while since I've been to that forum

What kind of lighting is that? What are you going to keep under it?

HOT5's overdriven.
Basically what's in there plus some sps I plan on getting in the nearish future, a clam, some sexy shrimp, a few other small fish like a pistol shimp goby pair, and anything else I see that I like

So I bought a yellow watchman goby and a yellow puffer yesterday, so I guess sexy shrimp are now out
