I'm buying way to much crap for someone who is unemployed. :D

Bought this a week or so ago - finally got it set up and runnin'. Thought I'd share.

It's a 3130 - it's very unique in that it's an in tank skimmer. Not too crazy about it taking up room but I got it for $150 - they're normally about $400. It is used but very lightly. I think they're rated for 300-400 gallon tanks. I imagine if you put it in a tank that size the amount of room it takes up is negligable. It's a bit more substantial in a 55. :) As you can see it's pulling out a good amount of brown gunk.

:cool:

Cool. How does it handle evap - is it self leveling?

Should be great on a 55 I imagine.

It's not self leveling that I'm aware of, but it seems to work pretty well without a lot of adjusting. I keep my water level pretty consistant though.
