That's what I have right now. A Dart for my return, one wavebox one tunze 6000 and one tunze 6100. It's plenty of flow. I have 2 more 6000's. Once I get my aquasurf I will mess with just the streams and I may put my wavebox up for sale.

you have to keep the wavebox lol just add the streams into the tank with it

I think 4 streams and a wavebox is WAY too much for a 120

toooooooo much flow...........NEVER............lol,i guess for a mixed reef it would be pushing it but if all SPS it would probably be fine.

If I got a wavebox and a tank over 300 I would have to get the extention part with is another 450ish. How much did it cost you to make those OMs? And cjgalante if you want to sell that wavebox sometime let me know.

it would depend on tank dimensions and what you plan to house,but id think you would need to extension on that size tank,then again on that large of a system you have to expect to spend at least 6-7k(probably more) to setup so wavebox plus extension still isnt out of range.for me to make the om copy at my cost is about $150 for everything.

oh I don't know my dad is a patent lawyer, had a case where there was a red dog toy exactly the same as his clients green one, took it to court and got him a patent saying that the green one being green somehow made it a completely new product, despite the fact that dogs are color blind. And my dad wasn't even that good of a lawyer. Well I don't know that i'll even use an OM kinda thinking about the squid or something like that

problem with those is they cant handle the flow you would need to push,plus they cut the flow down like 30-40%.

Chris, So what is left to finish on your tank? How long do you think until all the madness of building and setting up is done?

well i just emailed the skimmer maker and told him i need a definate ETA on the skimmer or im buying one elsewhere.i think 6 weeks wait time is wayyyyyyyyyyyy to long,i dont care about the fact that they are a small buisness and have had problems with sick employees.in 6 weeks i could have made 30 skimmers so why cant i get 1 out of them?i keep hearing they are waiting for pumps to clear customs(lol 6 weeks)come on......get real.if i have to purchase a different skimmer i have looked into the ATI bubble masters,they seem to be well built and skim nicely.

Whats left on the hood? Just the doors and a few pieces of trim? If so that doesn't seem all so bad. What are you going to do with your electrical wires? Are you Zip Tieing them or getting wire wrap?

I've been reading a little and those bubble master's sound pretty good. A lot of people seem to be very happy with them.

Have you also checked out something like the DAS EX-3 or something of the bigger Tunze's. They also seem to get favorable nods, in addition to the standards like the ER, etc
|

|

ER is out cause i really want a recirc style and i cant pay what they want for it.the tunze im real apprehensive of cause they look wierd(i know its a bad reason)and i havent looked into the DAS skimmers.more research is needed i guess.

That is so funny, I was looking at that exact skimmer on reefgeek and was thinking this could probably work for Chris' setup. What I was wondering, is there a skimmer between 200 and the 500 model? You will have 150 display and 50 or so sump. What happens if you incorporate or tie in another tank, ie your clam tank? Do you think that skimmer could be then underpowered? Also, ER skimmers tend to be underrated. Is this the case for ATI?
