    Just buy a new one to go with the 210g build you are starting. They you can plumb the Cube into the 210's sump and its all good. Grim said your were thinking sarfire, thes a good choice.

    Update: 10/1/12

    So I called ReefOcto and they said since it was damaged in shipping they can't do much. So I called Bulk Reef Supply and they are willing to work with me, thank goodness I purchased this from them!


    +1 for Bulk Reef Supply!

    That's pretty crappy on ReefOcto. But BRS is awesome!

    Agreed and I think they are going to have a claim on UPS, but the box is not damaged!!


    I hope I don't get caught in the middle of some type of manufacture defect issue.

    To play devils advocate, reefOcto didn't break it, UPS did, which falls back to the ordering company, which would be BRS. Either way it still sucks, but at least BRS is being a good seller and not pointing fingers at UPS.

    I think they are... They said this could take a while, I don't exactly know how long it will take to get my skimmer.
