Yes, I did plan on getting a skimmer...but I was thinking that was something we said I could wait a bit on?? I am wanting to get going on this...and it is driving me nuts, having this tank that I really can't add much to at the time. I was thinking when I go to get more LR, I could pick up the tank...then get started on making the Fuge, from there you know, just taking steps at a time here.
BTW, yes the tank is a regular 55 and 48"L...but the stand has legs that may effect the size...I'm not sure I can fit it...although it would be nice.
Hey, I have another question though....should the power heads be REALLY strong? I replaced one that wasn't working on the tank, this new one is just mad fast coming out. I will be replacing both eventually...(yes, I know I should of bought the one I was planning) but this one wasn't working and it drove me nuts and I just picked one up at Wal-Mart while I was there (hey just be proud I didn't come home with another betta!)
