Also I'm going to be moving the tank away from the window as I built a new coat closet and can remove the free standing one I have beside the tank

Well the plumbing is getting there slowly I built the baffle for media reactors but decided not to use it right now because I'm not too sure on the clearances with the skimmer I will wait till I have the skimmer installed before using the baffle so right now both pipes dump into the same filter sock

Well it wasn't a perfect start up but it's running the center brace I repaired broke free when we filled the tank so I had to redo it with epoxy this time no leaks just a temp alarm because the tap water was too warm

The skimmer just came so I took the opportunity to install it it's a nice little unit just wish I hadn't knocked the filter sock into the dump when I put it in debris is everywhere plus the expected new skimmer micro bubbles everywhere

The skimmer is broken in now and works awesome it's running in 8 1/2 inches of water if you can't get it to stop overflowing after a week raise it up to 3 inches of water and stay on top of emptying the water like skimate after a couple of days it will work amazing in normal water levels best I could figure was all the new silicone work I did was messing with it |
