I told you it was in the back of my jeep the other day lol. Appreciate it sergio. It did work very well on the 92 corner. Very space saving.

Very familiar. I also have a brand new one in the closet...figured it would be nice to have a backup in case my big skimmer fails. Actually, I'm pretty much stocked when it comes to backup equipment...

Hey you still have that skimmer...What's the foot print?..

Always good to have a couple extra pieces of equipment hanging around just to be safe. I have too many laying around. Need to down size. I am saving a lot for my big build. I am slowly getting everything together for it as i finish the stand. Snagging a good deal here and there.

But I do still have the skimmer. I have a guy coming out tonight for it. If for any reason he does not take it there are 2 people behind him waiting on it. It has a super small foot print. not sure but it can't be more then 6"x7" or 6"x8" by maybe 18 tall?

Thanks for the skimmer (and fish). Was VERY cool meeting you & your girl. My g/f couldn't stop talking about your tube anemone.

Great guy & great setups!

Looking forward to many meetings & group meet ups in the future.

It was good to meet you and your girl. Welcome to san antonio and MAAST. Always appreciate the compliments. Learned a ton from people on here. Still learning every day. Take care of that little guy. He eats a ton a mysis. Let me know if you have any issues with the skimmer. It makes some serious foam. Look forward to the next time buddy. Take care.

That's a fantastic shot, Mike! I've always passed on the tube nems because when you see them in the store, there just so "ho hum". Between yours and Tony's, sheesh, it's got me thinking to the future...

NIce shot of the nem, what color is the inside?

Appreciate it. Can't steal all the credit. It was taken with my GFs phone. Mine sucks ha ha. But it is a True Orange tube nem. The center is a pinkish orange with pink tenticles and the pink tenticles have orange dots running the lenght of them. I have a purple one with a green mouth in my 40b in the beedroom. It has neon green spots that run the length of the tenticles as well. pretty cool looking. They eat like hogs and grow pretty big. The pink one shown takes up some serious space in the tank. In the 125 it was spread to the size of a basketball cut in half. I have it in a corner now to keep it to only a third of its plushing ability. I will try to snap a good pic of the purple one later. I recommend one, Ben. They are very pretty and are cool to watch eat.

On a side note. I have some orange digi i snagged from sergio i fragged for you Ben. Call it a christmas present. You can come snag it whenever you want.

I'll keep my eye out for one. Space is always a factor until I get the 185 setup.

Thanks for fragging the orange digi! I'll get with with ya soon.
