What did you find was wrong with the light and skimmer? I have been very happy with the whole package, and especially think the skimmer works great.I got the Red Sea Max Nano. It's a nice tank but if I were to do it over again I would likely get a Waterbox cube or something. I ended up replacing the light and skimmer on my Max Nano, which I could have done from the start with a Waterbox. Live and learn though.
