Im looking at a Terminator II for my tank i wanna set up for SW. The skimmer was 199 at my LFS but is on sale for 150.
Is this skimmer worth 150?? i want to use it without a Sump.
What would you do?
My tank is only a 55G but i wana have supplies that would work well on my 90G so I can upgrade without re-buying...
Thanks

Ummm... you do know that in order to run it without a sump, you need to spend an additional $119 for the Sump-less kit

Oh yes, and return pump for about $60. I love the quote "Eliminates the need for an expensive sump system."
Joefish has a design for a DYI skimmer that is simple and efficient. If you have any mechanical ability at all, I would recommend trying to make your own.

This is great HOB skimmer but is bulky and tall get the 125 version for what your wanting to do i run the 65 on a 30 gallon works great!My buddy has the 125 on his 55 works better then 65.Use google to read some reviews on it.
