Clown.

It's sooo quiet!!!! Especially since it's an open stand, you would expect some kinda noise. The pump is humming vibrating ever soo slightly. But I hope that should go away when it gets slimed up.

Thats what the ghost overflow is supposed to do :D It even makes an ehiem sound loud.

Looks good, glad to see some water in it.

I ask this question to a reef savvy post on Facebook but didn't get an answer. Toxic can you verify if the water going trough the teeth has a drop on the box from looking at the videos I didn't see a water drop and this could be bad if due to no skimming capabilities it would allow a lot of water to bounce back into the water column. Rick you might have a better answer? The reason I ask is because I'm interested in one but I want to hear from people using it

No, it has a drop. Otherwise, as you mentioned it, wouldn't surface skim. :)

Yes it drops. And yes there is 24" of surface skimming :). Kevan can give his experience as well.

It skims great. The tank had a bunch of dust/styrofoam etc in it and now it's floating in the sump. The ghost skimmed it off in no time.
