    Thx a ton guys, I am excited. I need to figure out how to meld these 2 tanks into 1.

    Gonna make the sump a fuge, and gonna upgrade the skimmer. Anyone use one of these before?

    Gonna use my led's, so I'll have an extra; cheap T5 set up, and this dual metal halide fixture with 4 t5's to unload.

    Also, what do you all think of the overflow cover, paint it, or just let it get covered anyways?

    Also, in the new fuge; DSB, miracle mud, or kitty litter covered in rubble with some chaeto and mangrove(prob no mangrove)?

    TIA;)

    Has anyone used an AQUA C skimmer? Not digging the concept, but it seems to work?

    Thx, 2in10. Gregor was an awesome guy, this stuff is 6 years old, but never turned on or used, in amazing shape. He's donating the $200 to 3reef sponsor ;
    PCRF - Planetary Coral Reef Foundation

    http://www.3reef.com/forums/reef-aquarium-articles-how-tos/3reef-pcrf-donation-drive-54526.html

    And I agreed to send all profits I make from selling the extra items once I combine the 2 tanks to the same charity, after I hook up a few members that need some stuff with some AWESOME deals on what I'll have extra.

    Thanks for the help ya'll, Would love input on the fuge part, I'm thinking I need to try to find a 30-40g for cheap;)
