Look just to the left of the phosban reactor... Already have a valve on the return!

Or turn off pumps and powerheads as I do when I stare into tank.

Tank looks awesome. Also have a look down and buy-far my favorite

thanks Titus99! Well, i emptied out their temp home and transferred the coral over to the tank. We are waiting on rock, and the powerhead is getting swapped out for an MP10 shortly, but here it is!

Looks really nice, i like your build!

honestly with a small system it's easy enough to do waterchanges and not run a skimmer, I don't know what your stock plans are for coral but I'd say if its mostly softies and Lps then definately they would explode going skimmerless. Post more pics!

I've been running my Deep Sea waterfall tank for a year now skimmer less. it's mosly anemones, ricordea, acans and zoas and so far ( knock on wood) its the best running tank ive ever had!

Thanks! Our stock plans are zoos/palys, acans, and a couple sps pieces here and there. Im thinking with the fuge, it will help a lot. Not to mention i dont mind doing weekly water changes.
Here are a few more pictures! Sorry they aren't the greatest quality but you get the idea!

Finally got a few lbs of rock in the tank. Here it is. This is likely only going to be set up like this for a few days as we are getting more rock soon!
