    Looks good, welcome to 3reef. Sounds like a pretty decent equipment list; no skimmer?

    Nope no skimmer. I'll explain. Back in October I decided that I wanted a bigger tank. I had a 90 gal freshwater planted tank that I broke down and decided to use that for my upgrade tank. Started building a stand for it and was about to start to skin it and I had a accident that stop everything. I slice my left arm with a circular saw and cut 6 tendents to my fingers and wrist. So I've been out of work also with no money. Hopefully in a few more months I can finish the stand and transfer everything. I had a build on another forum.

    All my money was going into there so that's why no skimmer. Didn't see a point if I was doing a up grade

    Nice tank and setup. Sounds like a painful accident, that sucks. Hope you have a speedy recovery to get that 90 going.
