    thanks geoff, scuba steve, and AaaRr

    AaaRr I may take up up on that I been reading about it alot and seen ppl stop using a skimmer totally on a reef. that is the reason i want to put one together for this tank. I have everything I just need to get the time to install it I was planing on using a tank separator screen. and a t5 light over the top> I spoke to Frank from Trop oasis in a meeting we had in the local club in Las vegas ans he keeps his fuge lights on 24/7 so I was going to have them off maybe 4 hrs a day. any thoughts on that I read a min. of 12 hrs? for a light cycle on a scrubber.
