Cheers, Ian
see the skimmer is the problem i have to find a used one somewhere before i build so i can build around it. i have another idea on design but not sure how to draw it as of yet. by no means am i a pro at windows paint lol i wish i had a good drafting program. i had thoughts of setting iton end removing a side pane and making it a corner tank. or i may just scrap the wholething and build somethign comletely off the wall..literally kinda likea picture frame tank
