    I'm most impressed at first by the sheer size of this thing. I've tried to capture some size-referencing items in the photos. For now, just pics. Stay tuned, and enjoy.

    The refractometer is lost in the pic somewhere.

    That's the BIG bottle, not the regular one. :)

    Didn't know you pulled the trigger. Sweet. Looks great. You are a club of two here so far. I'm still a lonely K2 owner.;D

    How are you going to fit that in the Mega flow?

    Well, although I haven't tried yet; I'm pretty sure I can get it in--as the collection cup makes up nearly 40% of its height. But I'm getting my new pump tomorrow, and because of some new plumbing to be done, I'll just hold off on placing the skimmer for now.

    When I get my new pump and manifold, I'm going to swap out the Megaflow for a 20 long sump.

    I'll probably make a build thread when the action starts.

    What are you talking about tatted? I only told you about 9 times!! :cheesy:

    wait a second here..... Youve been pondering on the idea... you mean you didnt hype 3reef with such a great purchase ;) like me ::).

    Now the poll makes sense. Why did you make your latest purchase?

    Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha.... Now it all makes sense ;D.
