    Im so frustrated. I bought a Hydor Slim skim. Was at work and not there for delivery. Went all the way down to the UPS location to pick it up in rush hour traffic. I go to install it, and in all the reviews I read noone failed to mention anything about the acrylic cross brace on most tanks and the fact that it will not fit in my tank because of it.

    I've done a DIY way to fix it in the tank but its practically in the middle wasting tons of space. I'll show a photo when i get home. I should have take measurements before buying!!!!

    sorry about that! That is so frustrating! Some of these tanks just make it impossible to add any other type of skimmer other than their specified skimmer.......of course their brand which IMO are usually junk!
