    Great pictures of spectacular pieces. :) It almost looks like the contrast is turned up or something.

    Looks good so far. You might want to find a way to block the light coming off algae scrubber bulbs cause it will cause major algae to form in your skimmer.

    I Just havent had time since i been working on my new tank. But i been thinking about selling it since i am prob going to run deltec ca reactor on the new one if anyone is interested in this one i will sell it for 50 bucks and i have an account with ups shipping so it wont cost to much. It works perfect just changing out everything.

    N2deep you will want to replace that drilled scrubber screen with some roughed up plastic canvas. Algae will not attach to that smooth surface, and will let go.

    The screen is rough i just took a piece drilled holes in it and then took 40 grit sand paper and a air sander and really roughed it up as much as i could, its so rough if your not careful it will cut you.
