It's a swabbie, I origionally wanted the new top, but they couldn't promise that it would work considering the clearances. So they sent a retrufit, and in hind sight, Im glad they did. Although I had to drill a hole in the lid myself, but it wasn't that bad. Good looking skimmer though, I must say.

Let me know, can't wait to see the finished product

Well I put in the base rock, placement is not final, and I'm looking for opinions. I don't think I will be adding much more rock than what is in there at the moment, maybe another 60-70 lbs to seed. I figure there is about 150-160 lbs in there now.
Please, let me know what you think, be honest, I am open to suggestions. I think the highest the rock goes is about 12" off the bottom, leaving about 10" of free swimming room around the centre overflow. There are a lot of open spots in the sand as well, I think I have a decent base to work with, but sometimes someone else has a better idea. Thanks.

I'm sorry if I missed it but when you made your overflow rock formation what kinda foam did you use? I have made one the same using rc as my reference but everything I put in there dies. Are you planning on soaking it for a bit or doing any kind of waiting period etc? Thanks and nice tank.

Interesting idea Bob with the acrylic rods, but am I the only one that can't see any sand?!?

Ryan, you have to use your imagination on this one.
