Well you're doing good then. How do you like your ghost skimmer? I'm thinking of getting one for my frogfish tank. They're so expensive though, as much as a Tunze.
I'd go with the tunze for that application. The ghost is a great little skimmer but only at a very particular water level. The tunze has that magnet which would suit a non Im brand tank better

It is for an IM tank. I was told the 9001 won't fit IM 10 and I know the Tunze 9002 won't fit because I have one and tried it. That doesn't leave much choice but you say the ghost is great? I'm not sure I like the collection cup drain although a lot of people would like it. If you have the cup draining into a container you become lazy and don' pay as much attention to the skimmer performance as you would if you had to dump it every 2 or 3 days. I imagine I could plug the drain. I like to know how much skimmate is produced on a regular basis, it's like a parameter for me. LOL

For an Im tank you cannot go wrong, and it's not so much a drain as it is overflow safety. I have it pointing down into the third chamber so if I get lazy it just dumps it into the tank again

The eggs are super simple. I actually lost my mandarin (too late on the brine) so I'm not using the feeder everyday, but am still feeding brine shrimp. In just using the sf bay brand hatchery
