Well at least this step back wasnt your fault in any way.

the way this is going, i will get my tank and it will end up having a scratch on it or break the first day i will it with water.

Good news tank is in.

Dude love your tank well done . i likes it alot...:biggrin:

thanks alot man, i design it myself, im glad i went with the extra 4 inches on all sides, it really makes it alot bigger. rather than just 24x24x24.

Sweet tank man!! Looks fantastic!

Your gonna need a ladder to do any maintenance tho! :lol:

i know what you mean i cant even get my arm in without a step stool. but man it going to be sweet.





on a side note, im building my sump and im not sure what water level to put my skimmer at, the book says 6"-8" but what is the best anyone else that has a vertex100 can let me know. or what works for other people. this is my first time with an in sump skimmer.

make your baffles to the height of 8" then you can always add a piece of plastic in there to rise it up. that is the standard for alot of the skimmers

I would go the other route. Make the baffles 10" to increase the volume of water in the skimmer compartment and lift the skimmer up. I used a shelf made from eggcrate with a few blobs of silicone to dampen vibration.
