Nice skimmer Greg.

Greg,
Nice setup. what kinda light you running on it?

Nice setup you have there. It looks alittle bit like mine actually, including the blue walls and window-panel on the glassblock behind the sump. :cool:

My skimmer is outside of the sump though, and my tub to the right of my sump is for mixing water changes so the bulkhead is drilled as low as I could drill it. Yours appears to be an additional sump volume.

Your 'fuge looks nice. I'm hoping I can get my 40gal drilled and somehow have it high enough that it can gravity feed back to the display tank (someday). I'm not sure if that is feasible however since my tank is raised up pretty high as it is. Have you ever considered growing phtyo and hatching shrimp, and maybe throwing them in the fuge?

Byt the way - what part of buffalo are you in? I'm in West Seneca.

Thanks mac~ But that might be a bit too much for a bit of macroalge.... thinking -65wpc's but have to build a little hood for it.... but how cheap is cheap?

[ReeferMac]

Actually, that's exactly what I did with it. Worked great!

What kinda frags you got? That kinda cheap... hehe, if the 65W PC's working, I'll trade ya! I don't have enough space to run a MH over my new refuge, so I'm looking into VHO's and PC's.

[ReeferMac]

Well, you should have gotten a PM from me, but RC's been acting weird lately..
I'll try again/see if can't find your numbers again.

I'm just going to use my main sump for coral growout since I have room with the skimmer being external.

This pic is bad quality because I took it at night in the dark, but you get the idea. Its a CSL 4' canopy with 2x175w 10k MH. (I have two 65w pc's in there that I don't have turned on).
