Hey Ca Girl,
You could get a better deal on this board with a used one. They do not "wear out" although parts might have to be replaced. The first on the list I have never heard of, and you get what you pay for. You may be paying $60.00 for a lot of trouble down the road.

Post a new thread in the WTB equipment section. Just specify the size of your tank etc. ........ you will score there.

For a hang on the back skimmer for that size you'll probably need to do (2) Remora Pros... or do what I did. Build a stand to install a 10gal behind your tank. Install you skimmer box in the main display and pump up to the 10gal tank where you install your skimmer and gravity feed back to the display. (You can fit an ASM G3 in a 10gal... it is tight but will work.)

Think about it like this. 180degrees opposite a normal tank with a sump. Meaning your display becomes the lower tank and the higher is your skimmer. It worked really well!
