i have more than enough, i probably could have 2 skimmers on top of each other. i wanted my stand to be a showcase tank, so that you dont have to bend over to look into the tank. its 40 " tall. ive got plently of room. thanks for the heads up though.

Splatter it with purple and pink. That way it already looks like its covered in coraline.
