Well I'm very happy with the Marine Sources SDP-750 skimmer. It's producing good stinky skimmate, it's not overly fussy about water level as long as it's sitting in roughly 9-11 inches of water and it's very quiet. Easy to get the cup off for cleaning and it comes with a cup outlet and matching hose. That will be good for next time I'm away from home.
Considering I paid around $200 for it new, I'm very happy with bang for bucks. This model comes with the Red Devil pump which seems to have a good reputation and parts seem readily available at this stage.
Donna's tank is going into stasis for a while so I've moved the corals over to my tank. The single lemon peel angel will follow as soon as I can catch my domino damsel and put it in the isolation pod while I introduce the new fish. The domino is such an agro bugger.
So my current stock list will look like this:
I've also changed my scape just slightly to improve water flow.

So my current stock list will look like this:
- 1x Domino Damsel named Agro
- 1x unidentified black Blenny (possibly black comb toothed) that was sold to me as a 'Vampire Blenny' (sic) at Mentone. I think those guys make it up as they go along.
- 1x Lemon Peel Damsel
- 2x green Folded brains rescued from Mentone's bargain bin, both flourishing. 1 toxic green even under white light (where it counts) % 1 pale green.
- 1x Walking Dendro with symbiot worm.
- 1 lge Duncan
- 1 tan Hammer
- 1x red tree sponge - going well after being rescued from a bargain bin. All black tissue gone and all healthy tissue now.
- 3x feather duster / coco? worms.
- 1x toadstool leather
- 1x green goni - also rescued from the bin. After a fair bit of recession, it has stabilised now and showing good polyp extension.
- Various zoos
- 6x red mushies
- Various frags
- 1x tan & gold torch.
- 1x unknown tan coral (maybe fluffy morph)
- 3x boxer shrimp
- 2x peppermint shrimp,
- 1x lge sea cucumber
I've also changed my scape just slightly to improve water flow.
