Tom,
Yeah yeah.... :booty: I guess I could, the thing is I do have a hair algae outbreak in this tank about once or twice a year, but at different times it seems....and my Prizm picks up some pretty nasty gunk, too...although with the age and bioload of my tank, it might be a good time to upgrade my skimmer I guess, since it is going on 3 1/2 years now.
The only thing is I really don't have the $ to buy an expensive skimmer right now.
