Tank is lookin awesome - Love the Apple Mac Designed Skimz - What do these skimmers cost and who keeps them? I got a skimz carbon reactor from marco.

The white is a change from the conventional black used on skimmers i like. looks classy, Marco should be able to hook you up, with anything you looking for.
 
looking good les!
 
much better, good to be back,

cool, i knew they would be :)

dident get too much done today, have just been soo weak, going back to the doctor tomorrow, but hoping to go past and get my blue vynil for the backing (@viper357 yes dean it is blue again)

and ordered my base bracing, not that this tank needs it but i might as well seeing as i have to get my overflow pieces and im waiting for some more glue aswell.

so taking it easy and doing it right.

considrerd building a wavebox into the tank. still might do something of the sort. i dont mind buying the actual box but it will look odd sitting on the one side of the already big overflow. so may just incorporate one in.


still allot to decide.

Basically have one half of the overflow box house a pump and act as a wavebox with a divider dividing the water to the sump and the wavebox.

hope tha helps

i have an idea but how about putting up a drawing of this to have a better understanding
what dimension over flow box will you use ?

a very basic diagram but the section of the overflow on the left it to allow water to syphon to the sump and has a returnline for water to get back to the top of the DT

the right hand section will have a hole drilled in and a pump monted to allow it to act as a wavebox
