MRC Dual beckett skimmer pic.'s

here's the new skimmer running.



not sure if this is how it is suppose to look while its skimming but thought I would share some pic's.
yes its on an end table in front of my tank. LMAO. just untill I figure out what I am gonna be doing with it and where its going to go.

First thing out of my wifes mouth was don't think that's staying there. ... I might just leave it there so she has to deal with it. and the second thing she said was if you keep this up we won't have a living room. who needs a living room?

You can't have a salt water tank with our sponge bob and patrick. and get this they are slinkys. . I used a mag 9 to feed it and a turbo sea to recirc it with. ... I don't think my 120 has ever not had sponge bob and patrick sitting on the lights.

looks pretty good to me, but give it some time. make small adjustments with the gate valve if you want a wetter skim. but don't go too far or you'll end up filling up your waste container with water.

Very cool Ryan. Good to hear it was easy to dial in.

What, you mean that's not it's permanent location??
