    only a few hours, skimmer has settled down, its sooooo quiet, no microbubbles in the tank, and already producing decent skimmate. I love this skimmer, the only thing that i hate is the color, other wise it would be perfect :)

    lol thanks :D i think the ast one was mainly because it had issues, that skimmer NEVER worked right in the 7 months that i owned it, nothing but problems. This one works amazing so easy and pretty much perfect except the color :)
