what legs are you using? Did Tek change their legs?

Nope, I didnt want to spend the 70 bucks on the tek legs, so i picked up universal legs from Big Al's (12 bucks). they just drill into the metal housing. 4 metal screws and it took 10 minutes.

Not a bad cheap mod.. and they look great, better than the tek legs I have for sure!

Hydor 600 Protein Skimmer
 
Has anyone had any experience with this skimmer?
Am upgrading my Super skimmer and this one seems to have a footprint that would fit in my sump.
It's for a 120 gal set up, eventually heavily stocked.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I've heard nothing but good things regarding the Hydors. I will probably be going with one (the 1000) for my next tank.

Sump Question
 
Am looking to build a new sump. Drew this up but was wondering if I'm missing anything. Measured my cabinet and this is the largest the tank can be.
Any help would be much appreciated.

what's the spacing between the baffles measure in at? Looks fairly small. I try and keep mine around 1" inbetween each baffle. Not sure why, I've just always done it this way. It'll cut back on the size of your fuge, but not by such a durastic ammount that the fuge will become useless.

Other than that, looks good!
