Okay, changed out the factory (not so great) skimmer for an AquaticLife Mini skimmer 115. This skimmer is rated for 30 gallons but CRA has one running on a 65 display and looks to be working pretty good for a few months now. This skimmer need to go in the middle chamber on a Solana as it will not fit in the 1st chamber and you cannot use the hanging brackets as it won't reach down far enough but it appears to be a perfect fit there.
I'll provide feedback in a week or so once it starts to break in.
Still playing w/ the skimmer so no feedback there yet.
Today I ran over to CRA and picked up my trim kit. I did not want to add this but due to the impending kitten and to keep the Perc in I did. Actually it's pretty nice looking, not as big and unsightly as I thought it might be.
I put my fan back on no prob and my moonlight attached to the glass and all looks nice and clean.
