Very nice set up!! Im pretty sure we call the Reagal tang a Hippo tang over here. I like that you imported your skimmer. Im looking at the cone skimmers myself for my next build. Welcome to the forum and enjoy!
Thank you very much. As for the SWC i have found out that it is the same as the Aqua Excel apart from the diffuser plate in the bottom. Alot of the guys over here in the UK are importing the Aqua Excel and believe me when you have them side by side they are exactly the same.
 
Well quite bad news this week as my regal (Hippo) tang has white spot along with my kole tang,uptil now the yellow tang seems to be evading the parasite but i think it is only a matter of time until he or she catches it. Currently running UV to try and keep it under control but i think i am to late :(
 
nice tank and love the dimensions almost the same as mine 3x2x22" except i have an external overflow
Thank you :) How are you getting on with the skimz as these units are just starting to filter through to the UK. You can't beat a bit of skimmer porn can you? ;) To be honest i have had all sorts of skimmers from Deltecs right through to Aqua-Medics and nothing has performed as well as the SWC 160 cone.

im loving the skimmer, it definately is too big for my system, but being able to control the feed and the air lets me dial it down for my system lol ive owned a few skimmers over the years, for me, this skimmer is built as well as any i have owned, er, bk , asm, and list continues, the amount of air this pump pulls is rediculous also lol i barely have the air open and it is a solid white wall of foam.
