Are you only using a stock tank for your skimmer?

Sorry to hear it Jay. What you need is a nice massage by a petite woman...

 

[bigdog]

Heres my fish room.......technically its a closet (thats why its so tough to get a good picture) but it works great for me. A 55 gallon tank used as a sump fits in here perfectly.

Your fish room looks great. I don't know what's so ghetto about it?

I hope your back is feeling better soon dude.
