This skimmer hasn't skipped a beat from day one.

 

[greg 45]

Still room for one more big tank LOL
Fathom leds are back and running on system

quite impressive Greg, whats the total water volume.

 

[greg 45]

Hey edd est. around 1200 or more , there is another section with four 40 breeders and a 60 by 36 tank, under the stand is a 150 gallon Rubbermaid as a sump. Some day might build a real sump LOL

 

[edd]

never realized you have such a large system.
they look like acrylic tanks.
