Very Large Display Tank, Help Appreciated

[Lofus]

I've been reading up on skimmer design and one thing struck me that you might want to consider, The cross sectional area of the skimmer is important, not how you divide it up.

This means that 2 x 6" = 10" or 4 x 4" = 10". This way you could have multiple skimmers so that if you had a problem with one or took one out of service for cleaning you would not significantly effect the tank.

The same sparing philosophy might want to be considered for pumps as well.
