Just wanted to post about the new SK 45 skimmer. Just got the 30 rl last night. Local shop had the sk 45 on sale for 99 and let me have it for 89. I couldnt pass it up. I had a hard time making up my mind on a skimmer. Too many opinions, and models to choose. The facts on the sk 45 as I see them so far. It is completely silent. It fits in either one of the rl 30 heater columns, so you dont lose a media chamber. It is very well made. I hope to have the tank going this weekend, and transfer my sebae anemone and percula in the next week. I also have a flame hawk, but this is mainly for the anemone and clown. Also got 2 orbit marine led fixtures. VERY nice lights. I will add more pictures when its set up.

Dont know what happened there. It did not post my last comment with the quote. I needed to make a correction. The SK 45 will only fit in the left heater column, as in the picture. I did not realize the columns were different sizes until I was washing the tank today. Got water and sand in it. No leaks. WOOHOO. Now to fight the urge to transfer fish and corals for 5 days or so.
