Just kidding, I Plan to spray paint it all black. I think krayon brand is safe. Have to read up more on that.

You got a point there. Black pops though...lol!!! I just can't make up my mind. I might put all plumbings behind the wall. Still debating, dunno what I want.

Tank is still waiting to be cure, so it's sitting at the shop :banghead:

It's good and bad, gives me some planning time but waiting sucks big time.

Well, was able to meet up with Dave (AussiCrazy) and pick up his skimmer at a great price.....it was nice meeting you Dave and thanks for meeting me half way.

Picked up SRO XP3000SSS skimmer.....looks very well built, can't wait to put that in the sump......wait i need a sump....lol!!!!

 

[samksy]

Just tested out the skimmer. Absolutely amazed by the performance. Tried many skimmers, and they don't even come close. This is kind of similar to my Vertex 250 cone skimmer but this is so much better. Check out the video, after running for 10 minutes.

LOL!!! Yes, it's really really awsome skimmer, gotta thank Dave (AussieCrazy) for this skimmer for a great price. I see you have a hot looking skimmer too :knockedou.

Dude, you gotta get advice from the right person....lol! Thanks MO for recommending this one!!! lol!!! Love the skimmer.

Noise is okay from the skimmer and pump, but the return from the skimmer is louder (water flow/splashing)....lol! You won't regret this. However if noise is your concern, try out one of the vertex cone skimmer with Red DRagon pump, dead silent, but it wasn't skimming that good for me, maybe is the water level that i had wasn't right.

Really like this thread. I wanted a tank from them but my quote was a little too high.

Thanks Twan! Your tank looks great too and you didn't have to spend the extra bucks! I almost went with the 100 gallon like ken...lol! But i told myself i'm not going to switch tank again so i went Miracle and suck it up.

As of now tank is shipping next Wednesday Hopefully i can get it before the weekend.

They send me more pictures. Another sneak peak of the tank. Andy my DIY stand :groupflip
