Also what is the flow rate of your return pump? Have been looking at lastlights pump he has for sale. And thinking of doing 8 - 1" returns after my 4way so they would alternate 4 on, 4 off.

Hey Greg 1st question
none flows thru the skimmer Greg i have a separate pup that poweres the skimmer.
Flow rate of the return pump is a Ocean runner 2500.
i will be going to a mag 12 once I get a impeller thou.

So you are just feeding the skimmer directly from the sump, I guess that would make sense for me to as i am running Vertex pellets and the return from the reactor should be feed back into the skimmer.Thanks Mike

Tile and doors look great Mike. And the tank is not too shabby either!

[Skimmerking]

Well they are clear coated and will be put on tomorrow and what a stink in the basement... lol

Nice! Are the chained together going from skimmer then reactor?

After all that clear coat you must have as good of a buzz as ido after working with this Goof Off stuff

[Skimmerking]

Well got the clear coat all done just have to wait on the last door.


I need to work on the photo skills now





I was going to do the edges like this but I thought nawwwwwwwwwwwwwww


I hope you have liked the build as much as i had fun doing it. JUST FOR THE RECORD THIS IS MY DREAM BUILD.
NO MORE TANKS

Love the skimmer

Time to sit back, crack a beer, and watch it grow!

That is true awesome Mike! I showed the wife what you built and she was very impressed as well (wife is not totally reef safe, YET). Your cabinet has given me a few iders for my 250 as well, with the wifes approval already too

Very very very nice job dude, well do, now the hard part taking good pics of an 8'er, I know I have difficulties there .
