Hello All!

As many of you know I have a 72 Bow currently, which I love. Well I am running out of room and am presented with an opportunity to upgrade my system. A few catches...I can't have a sump and I'm on the second floor.

The only thing I would really have to worry about is buying a skimmer and weight.

I would be getting a 120 Long (60 inch length).

1. What options do I have for a skimmer? I really don't want to hang it but I want it to be internal. I was looking at the Tunze 9015.

2. My place was built in 1955 and the room this tank would be going in is along the wall that is perpindicular to the outside and it seperates my place and the apartment next to mine. Anybody know any structural engineers for hire that I can use to get a consultation?

The new Octopus HOB skimmers are supposed to be very good. You could also incorporate a display refugium with nice macros and sea grass. Put the fuge higher than the tank so the return can be a gravity drain.

yea I'm bugging out about the weight. I just googled my uncle and it turns out he's a structural engineer... I am an idiot. Anyway, I gotta figure this out. I may not have to upgrade.

Dom, I sent you a text as to why I am upgrading lol.
