    We should do the Vortech wavebox mod 2.0 on yours now that I know what I would have done differently.

    I think the way to do it there would be to build an overflow that has two chambers inside of it and use one for the wavebox. That would be a sweet way to hide a bunch of extra flow.

    I'm surprised to say that I'm already getting results from the skimmer. Nice dark green skim. It does put some micro bubbles in the tank though, so I might set it to run only at night.
