I think Wendy has that skimmer and I recall asking her about it and she was very please with the performance. I'm really considering a cone skimmer so that BK might have a future home in my sump. K2 seems really interesting I'm hoping I could find more info on it.
I have seen people using car HID lights for small tanks like that. another you will have to worry about is the heat coming from the light and summer is around the corner. Why not a tank a little bigger like a 10g?
I was talking to Jeremy from Premium aquatics here are some options he gave me:

Pacquiao will take this fight. Hatton is a strong fighter but only fights at a very close range and that will work against him with Pacquiao. He is too fast and and strong hitter, Hatton has a good chance if he could find a way to hold Pacquiao down.
I have 90% of stand complete. I need to work on the doors but I might leave that for last as they could be the last thing I add to the stand. Next project canopy.
Here is an update
No experience at all, this is my first time building something like this. I have always been a handy type of guy and having all the right tools helps a lot.
its heavy! but feels very sturdy and safer than the ones AGA makes. With my current tank every time I look at always wonder how those sticks are holding that much weight.
I used 3/4x6" pieces to skin top, bottom and posts. I want to give it a clean look, today I will be pulling put the router...
I finally decided to make the move and upgrade, I have been debating between a 180g and a 120g tank for a long time. What I was primarily looking for is front to back depth, I also took into consideration a possible move in the near future and decided to go with the 120g.
I will try to give as...
make it simple if you could use a ball valve to slow down flow use it. Don't make this hobby complicated because you will discourage yourself. I personally think the sponge/sock is not going to do much, you will just be creating additional maintenance on your tank.
No, It should be on the pipe that comes from you DT. I think it will just cause problems and it might get sucked by pump.
Why you want to have a filter sock there? micro bubbles?
Wendy,
What LED's where you using? where did you get them from? I would like to try that in my new canopy to see how it works out. I never had the shimmer in my thanks don't really care much about it but I would like to try it.
Don't take it the wrong way... I din't even realize how many post you had. Its just my personal opinion and why I think it might be happening. If number of post counts I'll let one of the big dogs here with 1,274,340 post answer your question.
