Well isnt this great, since we are not renting out the basement I can still keep my tank the 150 inwall and sell my new cube to the guy who is building my stand and canopy. So that is a good thing however I sold the big skimmer and now have the vertex 170 that is capable of 200 gallons. and in the previous post is it really worth it. in the long run.

So this means that you can keep your clam and fish now ? Yes a little confused on the skimmer situation. I'm a little curious if the alpha 170 could keep up with the high bio load you are planning on having. This is good news for you right ?
