Theres not alot of maintenance on the skimmer. Plus when the top of the skimmer and the pump is removed its really not that bad.

I cant wait to get some livestock either. I have about 20 hermits and some armor of god zoas, and lolli pop zoas in there right now that was attached to the LR when I put it in there.

PS Chris from Fishscales does rock, if anyone is looking for a nicecustom tank and stand. Super clear low iron glass as well.

So Chris came over and changed the baffles in the sump so the water level is a little lower for the skimmer. All I have to say is he is always on time and stands by everything he does. It took about an hr and now Im waiting for it to dry.

And let me say again this tank is really nice and I would recommend anyone to Fish Scales for a custom tank. If anyone would like to stop by and see it for themselves please feel free to contact me.

I would really talk with Chris he has some super ideas and can build any size you want custom in a real short time period. Hes got some really good prices too. He has a guy that builds stands and canopies to.

Will, the tank really looks nice! I know you will enjoy having a tank back again. I miss the watermelon chalice:sad: but I'm glad you have her back

 

[dakota9]

Would it be in bad form to call dibbs when this set up is broken down?

Literally, all it's missing from being perfect is MORE SAND.......

I actually havent set up a calcium reactor yet. It was alot larger than I thought. Still working on a solution..... Ive been dosing daily.

The 180 has been gone for a while. But I did keep the skimmer which keeps the tank pretty clean.

I also have started to frag the chalice in the pictures and will be selling some soon as there healed.... The chalice came from Jeremy and its a watermelon chalice....
