Well, after a second delay and several house and property projects later water is finally in the tank. Started the cycle last week.

Well after a much delayed start to the build due to job change and buying a new house I am finally on my way. The stand has been built and painted!

I am looking for advice on a skimmer for the system. I figure the total system volume will be around 150 gallons. I was looking at a Super Reef Octopus 2000IN, but I am up for input any recommendations and or experiences with skimmers for a system this size.

I wish I had room to plumb a sump / frag tank elswhere to a fish room type setup, but I am limited on space. That will be a project when I move to a bigger house, which will mean a bigger tank.

Thank you, I am excited to get back into yet hobby, gain from all the members experiences and get more involved in the club.

I totally agree, I do not plan to cut corners with equipment, I have learned that lesson the hard way. Plumbing the tank is where I have the most questions / reservations.

I am back from my deployment and I am finally getting the tank build started! I learned a ton from all the mistakes I made on my 54G Corner and I have done a year of research and planning. I am putting the tank in my basement and I plan on getting the entire build done by the end of August...

mnat, thanks for the input. I am excited to get this thing going. I hate not having a tank and I have had over six months to plan. I am building the entire system in the basement, my house does not have room anywhere else. I ran a Reef keeper lite on my old system. Not sure if I will...

Update on the reef: 1. I was careless with feeding my fish an coal causing a nutrient spike. Went through a diatoms, cyano and finally HA outbreaks in that order. On the down slope of the HA outbreak, it is going to take time, but I think I have the upper hand. 2. To improve...

Clownfish hosting in the GSP.

I do not want to starve the fish in my system. I think three fishes is not a tremendous bioload for the tank. I run a SWC 160 and it produces a decent amount of skimmate.

They are about 5 months old, just checked the TDS meter, it reads 0.

I have an RO/DI system. Tank is almost a year old. I feed the tank once a day. Bioload 2x Clown fish 1x Pseudochromis 1x Cleaner Shrimp 1x Blood Shrimp
