I've read some decent reviews on this skimmer and was wondering if anyone amongst us owns one, what size tank you have it on, and your opinion thanks. http://www.reefgeek.com/filtration/Protein_Skimmers/ATI_Bubble_Master/Bubble_Master_200_Protein_Skimmer_by_ATI
To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine... and those who don't.

I would really consider 1 large pump t'd off to the display, fuge and chiller, it seems like alot of wasted electricity running 3 different pumps just to circulate water.
How many chambers in your sump? I have mine situated so that my heaters are in the first chamber my return in the second and refugium in the third. I feed my chiller using a line off my return and then it dumps into the fuge so I'm recycling the chilled water mixed with the warmer water from the...
I don't want to restrict flow, I'm trying to figure if I will end up restricting flow if I go with a bushing opposed to drilling a larger hole in the sump and using larger pipe.

I've never used T-5s however did run vho's and was successful with sps corals in a 75g, I think provided your tank isn't deeper than 20in. you'll be ok with less than halides. I should point out that I did switch to halides and did get better growth with them. ;)
I switched to the Phoenix 14k from the giesemann 14.5's in attempt to save some cash, ended up costing me more as I now have to switch back. IMHO I really don't think there's a better bulb out there than the Giesemann 14.5 K MEGACHROME coral bulb.
Thanks Phil, it would have been better if you waited til today to let everyone know ;) that was my plan...

I've actually seen this in my tank, grows on the underside of the rock where no light gets to it, don't have a clue what it is though and has not harmed anything either.
