    Silor I am still happy. I'm going to try a simple mod that I think will help it out. I'll post on the sc150 forum

    I like to skim wet, especially with the biopellets running.

    Do you run biopellets? Man, those pellets turn a switch on in the skimmer and pull out even more stuff. Can't wait to see a pic of yours.:)

    No pellets here. Here is my Tunze with the upgraded skimmer cup and air hose mod. Skimming for about 2 days
