Bulk reef supply has the pads, just look under pumps, $4 a piece made of rubber and cork.
Plain old coralife ss, very thick skimate, empty about every 3 weeks.
+1 on the vibration pads, I have seen them many places, shouldn't be too hard to find.
I do like the Vertex then, I have been looking at getting one for my 150
If we are talking about which skimmer and not worried about money, I like the Vertex. However, it is nearly twice the price.
I would wait it out. I know it sucks waiting (have been waiting 9 months to get my anemone) but much better off in the end.
How much live rock dried out? how much total? How big of tank? I would think maybe wait a while to make sure everything is stable but someone else...

Was curious so did a little quick checking, read that dry rock will gain 25% - 40% of weight when wetted.
Also don't forget dry rock will weight less that live rock of the same size, on a tank of that size it may not make a big difference but still you...
That is interesting. I'm not sure exactly how all that number stuff works, but don't these numbers depend on the bulb more so than the fixture? Just...
What are you hoping to keep? There are lots of clip on MH that would do well if you are wanting to head that way.
All the best to you and your new family. Jake
Just a heads up, if you are going to give the skimmer a thorough cleaning it will need to be broken in again.
