    You have the oceanic skimmer in the overflow? Is that chamber 3 (where stock return pump pushes water back in?) If you dont mind including a picture I would appreciate it :). What model of skimmer is that? I love what you did in chamber 2 with your refuge, awesome idea!

    Thanks!

    Very cool. Fortunately the new Biocubes have a window in the back to view the filtration chambers already.
    Sorry I didnt post pics earlier, we went to the LFS and got a small heater and I drooled over a bunch of corals. I resisted the urge tho and decided to save my money.

    Here's a pic of the stand so far (Dont mind the paint chip missing on the blue panel.). Needs some touching up but I'm liking the outcome. Wanting to throw a couple of Fish decals on the blue panel (Corny I know.)
    I love this stand because my Bf built it for me for our first Christmas;D when he bought me my first SW tank:kiss:. I kept it because it was the sweetest thing ever even tho I didnt have a tank to put on it.

    Lmao you lil buggar! Hold onto your trousers there!
    At the moment we're touching up the paint a bit and setting it in place. (For some reason my bf thinks that doing both at once is a good idea....::)) Now he's covered in paint. Lol.

    :smug2:Why of course my dear. I wouldn't have it any other way.
    I have him using a hair dryer on the paint right now just for you so I can get the tank on top of it for more pics.;)

    yes its is the oceanic skimmer. it produces a wet skimmate . not the most efficient skimmer but for its price and size, it does what i need it to do.

    i leave the back lid open so the light can sit overtop and for some gas exchange
