skimmer
 

great looking skimmer u will never want anything else now u got The King :lol:

Yeah I am sure its true, its super sleek design, and everything about it tells it was build super well.

Now i just gotta get it fired up :razz:

You will have to let me know what the water level is in the sump, if you find the level is a bit lower than what we talked about, we can always switch to the other skimmer. You have my word on that still.

Awesome Thanks Bob, I am 99.9% sure its going to be 8 inch in the sump so if you were running it at that then it should be good to go eh.

You bet.

Good to see you again John, Next time I will have to stop in and see the new diggs. Sounds like you have quite the set up, looking forward to seeing some nice GIANT corals you always seem to grow.

yeah once he gets the ati power module it will kinda start to resemble my tank minus the fact i cant grow anything like him

So long as you do it in style nobody cares!

John's going to have one hell of a setup I know that.

it that the skimmer from the codfather if so its my old one and Brett's older one

yeah I hope it turns out well, its exciting and nerve racking at the same time.

I might have to get another Mp40 to match up systems :razz:

it did come from The Codfather, but I think he kept Brett's skimmer.

The Codfather was pimpin and had 2 BK 250's

Yeah that ain't mine. Mine is a newer gen and has the extension piece on the inner cone.

Its really weird not having a tank now, its super quite and no maintance.

strange. . ... .

so not much of an update, I picked up a few things for the new setup, and finally after a week of sitting in a box I fired up the new fixture, its pretty sweet.

Hey something is missing!

Amassing quite the equipment pile there bro! Bet you can't wait to dunk those chaetoBalls again...heck I can't wait to watch you do it!

yeah that something missing is now in my basement being recreated.

thanks john i hope i can make it look half as good as you had it

hopefully i can get the stand today, and have it hanging.

yeah, lots of lookers. haha, thanks for the help getting it into the car.

the skimmer is dope, foamin like mad, no dark skum yet, as there is only a few pieces of rock in the holding bucket.

yup, its pretty bare and too too quite. :lol:

its like purgatory for reef equipment, all of it just lying around waiting to get used.

Glad you like, i cant wait to see the mods, its going to be a great ressurrection.

The stand is on its way.

here are some pics of the stand and light, the hanging kit is awesome.

Oh nice stand

daaaamn thats sick john love that light

yeah, i am really pleased with the quality of the work done on the stand, powdered coated, adjustable light rack, I am lovin it.

Who did your stand, and was the price reasonable?

Looks great John!

I had the stand done privately, and with the mods it was very reasonable.

check your pms too.

Thanks Scott, I think it will look way better with a tank on top, which might be this Saturday, I am dying without a home tank.

The Teatro tank is coming around, I will have to get some pics up soon, those large toad stools finally opened up these past few days, I was abit worried they were toast.

John you need a new thread. You also need decent hosting for those pics!

ya John, it is time to let go.. :lol:

Hey John it sounds like you have some great stuff to see but all you pics are gone, the pics say your band width is exceeded. I wanna see, I wanna see ....................

LOL., you guys, maybe Ill start a new thread, i didnt even think about it.

yeah my bandwith is over its max, it will reset its self in a few days, i am on 3 other fourms, and usually post the same pics, so i guess i went a bit over board. haha.

no pics of the tank yet, i am hoping its coming tomorrow.

You can ask a mod to move some of the posts in this thread to your new one I think. You know, so you don't lose all of those "Oooos", and "ahhhhs" from the start of your new build :-)

well today the tank and sump arrived, just a few mintues ago,, it is dope.

I will getting some pics up tonight.

well that was a let down:neutral:.......I thought I was seeing pics NOW!......what a jip:razz:

hey i felt so left down i refuse to post in here anymore!

ah damn.

ok bi's the pics are uploadin as we speak.

ok, so here are the pics, the tank is tottaly JEDI PIMP. The tank has blown my mind countless times already. even though there is nothing in it, i just keep staring at it.

72x24x20 all starphire glass, except the over flow which is black acrylic.

I will post more pics, as they upload and i still have to vaccum to clean up the cuttings from the plumbing.

Big thanks to Seamazter (Garry) for helping out with the plumbing) awesome.

So there is very few things to do before getting water into this bad boy:

hook up return pump.
wipe out tank.

So by saturday it should see water.

polished edges.
