    Powerman brought up a good point about skimmer water height. My design has 6" baffles and I've been reading on skimmer recommended water height on ones I might buy. 1 has minimum water height of 6" but that is the bare minimum. Best level will between 8"-13". With a 10 gallon and to compensate for back flow 6" baffles is where I need to be.

    So I may do a 20 gallon instead...this hobby is a MONEY PIT ;D
