    In all seriousness, the Remora would probably be your best bet. Do you have sump?

    I've heard some good things about Tunze nano 9002 skimmer and ASM mini-G skimmer.

    It would be nice if we had a sump... Then that way we wouldn't have so much in our tank :-/... I went a head and ordered the Remora ;D.. It's a good thing I did because last night while I was looking around the tank (I thought I heard some noises and went to investigate) I opened the door for the bottom of the tank to the refugeum and noticed one of our cords some how got into the tank full of water :eek:... Good thing nothing bad happened, but anyway the only thing that was plugged in was our protein skimmer... The whole plug was submerged under water... I said wow this is a god thing..lol.. ;D God wants us to have a better protein skimmer... Hes on our side...;D So I should be getting the skimmer in the next 4 days or so.. Thank you guys for your suggestions..:cheesy:
