Yes. Dedicated circuit with 20 GFCI breaker. I didn't want to have to mess with a GFCI plug behind the tank.

Plumbing is done.

There have been another couple members here use a chemiclean dip when they got into mysterious declining zoa syndrome.

Good someone that I actually know that has a scientific mind to make a conclusion whether this works or not. I've been curious about micro scrubbing or scrubbing bubbles for a while now.

The great fish reintroduction of 2016!!!!!!

Hopefully not #Coralbuffet2016

I don't think green beer is the only green they are into. Did any one notice the leprechaun in the pot of gold looks strangely similar to a certain farmer here?

It all was an idea I will most like my being running a reef octopus on my My fish room build in the near future.

I have seen larger skimmers that are not see through besides the collection cup and even than some of the state aquariums don't have clear skimmers.

Buddy your talking about skimmers that aren't measured in inches tall but feet tall, the pumps are rated by gph they are rated by horsepower. The systems aren't by the hundred gallons they are multiples of ten thousand. It's not even apples to oranges. It's more like oranges to donkeys.

But I promise you bill wann isn't just throwing some PVC together. There is still quite a bit of engineering that goes into the big skimmers.

I don't think any one is telling you it can't be done. The question is why try and do it when there are so many great options out of the box.

I mirror what everyone else is saying. Why cut corners. It's going to be impossible to tune with an opaque body. Not to mention the discharge is way to high. Not to mention it doesn't have a gate valve on it. Not to mention a 4" to 3" reducer isn't a wine body shape like the skimmer manufacturers spent so much time developing.

Not to be a jerk but if you need a skimmer why potentially kill thousands of dollars in coral trying to save a couple hundred. Penny wise pound foolish IMO.

Next time you need a fish quarantined, you can send it to me and I'll quarantine it for a nominal fee

I got 7 purple anthias and a regal angel coming your way sir!

Regal you say......

There are a couple that I'm on. If you pm me I can tell you which ones. The Facebook groups are kinda the Wild West. There isn't any buyer protection or seller protection. It's truely buyer beware and it's a group of people right so you can have a great experience with John S and get great coral and the next time get fleeced by Morgan K all in the same group. You also usually pay a premium for the coral but your not on these groups if your looking for purple stylo, they are more reserved for the ultra high end.

It's not for the faint of heart and to be honest it's not really for beginners either. You need to have some experience before you step into those groups or you can be separated from your money quite quickly and efficiently and have nothing to show for it.

Nice zoos!!!

Well that's good news and bad news at the same time. It's a good hitchhiker you get but the bad news is it shouldn't have made it through your dipping procedure. Do you dip your corals prior to introduction into your tank?

Just wanted to mess with you buddy .

I agree with you 100% in the living room light spillage must be kept to a minimum for me as well.

Your not the only one juice, my MH/T5/led hybrid over my frag tank spills a ton too.

Very exciting day! I've had a couple LFS on the lookout for a large colony of this! Can't wait to pick it up today. Pictures and details to come soon... [emoji16]

I'm reminded of post #2147 (12/15/15)

"...But if I can ensure there are no pests with my final populations of fish and corals, why not?"

Just like an addict, this is my last one........

That would be a blue striped tamarin wrasse, if you get one your ballin' outa control.

DO IT!!!!!!!!

No I still have it.

Bchap has posted some nice chalices from time to time if I remember correctly.

What he said ^^

So here is a dumb question. Can't you just run 6 lamps in the 8 lamp fixture? Seems like the 8 lamp would be the way to go.

Water change cures all.

I like the built in end corner caps.

I have that same coffee table and remotes lol.

Thanks to Sascha for helping me set the tank on the stand.
