I have a 6 foot x 2 foot x 2 foot tank, With an addon 20 gal starfire frag cube.

My lighting is Frankensteined into a temporary hood.

My upflow is a reeflow dart from a 30 gallon refugium sump with two 3 foot T5;s.

My skimmer is meant for 900 gallons and is installed externally outside and above my tank. MR-4-Protein-Skimmer

Photos are coming shortly.

You should be happy with that skimmer. I have the MR-3 with two injectors, and I love it. What pump are you going to use with it?

I have one injector but looking to order a 2nd one with ozone adaptor.
using an ocean runner 6500 (1625 gph) they recommend a reeflow barracuda but this is close to same output.
here is my 1st pic.

What does ozone do for fish tanks?

Aw I was expecting to see a skimmer cup caked with crud

... What a beast that skimmer is.

ozone kills everything in the water column.
allows more oxygen and keeps the water clearer and free of debris.

oh it will be, still breaking it in.
by morning i hope to have it running a nice dry ugly skim.
