Gt a ****ing grip Wayne. Evidently he doe snot have an ISP that
requires him / her to use a real name now does it. Nothing worse than
TheRock or Pszemol now is it. Would ylu feel much better if he /she
stated their name was John T. Hughs or suych. Your a real ****ing gem
there wayne, as everyone doe snot have to pay any attention to any so
called imposed rules in this ****ed up group..........You and the rest
of these nit wits should be glad yur at least getting a real poster
here and not a troll...........or would you all rather the trolls be
summoned back to give this screwed up group some credibility.

The CPR units are great, you can use anything similar on a 55 fairly
easy.
Good light is essential, lots of current etc.

I like DBS's and Refugiums over skimmers, but you can try both,
generally you will not get any skimmate if the refugium is running
correctly.

Whats this crosspost thingie? CPR makes good skimmers. Don't know if
they would be any good in a freshwater pond or tank though.
