Have you got a webspace somewhere that you can host the pictures on? Like shaw webspace? If you put the pictures somewhere like that, you can have them a lot bigger.

You can sign up to host your pictures on photobucket - it's free and even I can do it most of the time.
What skimmer is that in the 2nd picture?

ruth thats not actually a skimmer it is a 5 chamber reactor, it is a calcium reactor plus what ever other media you want to run its an amazing setup, the picture didnt turn out well but when i get it setup and filled and i'll post more with more details, hidden reef is selling them right now.

jason - i'm still undecided, i may take on a new skimmer not on the market yet, but i'll let you guys know as soon as i get one.

Those are pretty sweet dimensions on your tank. However, 30" would be a little too tall for me (curse these stubby arms ). It is nice to have a giant viewing pane though.

Have fun with the project.

i'm thinking the same thing with the height, i'm going to have to invest in a 3 step stool or something. anyone know a link on ways of doing pvc structure, i'm thinking of doing alot of archways and overhangs so i'm thinking pvc would be strongest

Well I'll be snookered - it looked like a big H&S or something. I'll have to do some more research on that baby.
Here is my latest toy - just waiting for the rest of the PVC needed to plumb the outflow then I will fire it up - the thing I really don't like about buying European products is that you cannot find any fittings that will fit if you happen to break one or want to modify.

thanks pretty cool ruth. i know what you mean about the european products, the reactor i got is european so finding info on it right now is really difficult. the skimmer i'm looking at is european as well and again there is no info on paper right now to research it other than word of mouth and seeing the unit
