Cool skimmer !
Do you only have to run that for like a hour a week? Lol

WOW!!!! Carlos that is out of control!!! How many gallons is the entire system going to be???

800+ gallons and if I get rid of the sectional 1000+ lol... Putting up to 100 fish in three different tanks.

 

[Macropora]

That is crazy!

Yeah, same here, lol...

 

[Macropora]

Hmm.... I don't think I ever posted this before but.......

Are you out of your freakin mind with that skimmer on a 240!!!! LOL
Extreme overkill Definitely badass though.

What are the dimensions of this tank? Did you decide on a lighting scheme?

Very excited for you. I can't wait to go big

Yep, out my mind, lol..., but I was contemplating getting a BK 400 and then this one came up and I said what the heck. Vinegar cleaned the entire thing in 3 days and the pumps work fine.

Tank dimensions are 48" W x 48" L x 25" H.

I bought 2 150 watt eShine LED fixtures that are 24" long. One by itself is pretty bright already. I also have 3 AI Vegas if I decide to change them out.

Holy smoke!!!!! That is a hot a$$$$ skimmer!! What you doing with your old skimmer, I want it. I gotta check this out in person.

You hooking all ur tank to this skimmer right?

I'm keeping both skimmers. It's gonna run all the tanks about 800+ gallons worth.

240 Cube Driftwood Community Tank

I sold off all the branch rock recently and spent the past month turning the cube into a freshwater community with plenty of driftwood. I spent a lot less money putting this together than I could letting the tank sit cycled with Tonga branch rock for the past few years. Signing off on this thread.
