    Heading out in the morning to get the pvc for my stand pipes, as well as a big tub for the sump.
    This is going to be a skimmer / live rock only system.

    Now gotta decide on a skimmer.
    Suggestions?

    Well I just ordered the MSX200 as my primary skimmer. And a MAG7 as the return.

    I started cutting the acrylic for the sump and Ill be picking up a second tank as a Fuge which will spill into the primary sump.
    The fuge will get water from the left overflow and the sump from the right.
