    Oh no he didn't, oh yes he did 180 gal build

    I got my 20 gallon ato container in place, originally I was going to keep it under the fuge stand, but to access the pump/tank itself was a pita. I also started on my wiring center, since all my fish died I have only the return & heaters going at this time. Once I add back on my WP60 and other...

    To the best dog a man could have....

    Andrew that is so true. my brothers dog had cancer, I paid for chemo and it didn't work, but I'll be damned if until the end he didnt wag his tail and love unconditionally. When they say a dog is a man's best friend they aren't kidding. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

    I don't mind using the ro maker, I'd prefer to avoid any issues w/ our water because it is well water and high as heck in tds.

    I have them in a copper treatment now, it seems to be helping. How long do I need to leave my display fallow for? This sucks.

    3 skimmers to choose

    The ATB is rated for 250 gallon, realistically about 150 gallons heavy bioload. I am actually looking at going with the Avast CS3 Cone Skimmer Kit with 2 x Sicce PSK-1000 in recirculating mode & using my return to feed it.

    Sump, Pump, GFO, Alk, Ca, Mg

    horseplay I saw the sump in person, it is very nice system. I purchased a few fish from MK and he is a stand up guy!

    I will not buy any SWC products so thats out. Mike from people on rc you're right. I don't think the ATB 840 V2 will be able to handle a 180 g tank, 40g fuge, 75g half filled sump w/ a good amount of fish. People said to look for a 10" bodied skimmer, easier said than done.

    Brand new washer too :P I can't take credit for the plumbing/drilling of the tank, my friend Anthony did that. I was just the side kick and provided the food:). Next weekend I plan on buying a piece of plywood and moving the apex outlets up then buying a wire channel to run them nicely...

    So I am in the process of selling my ATB 840 V2 and am going to need to replace it as my system has grown. System: 180g display, 75g sump (1/2 full), 40g fuge - will be heavily stocked. I am currently looking at these 3 skimmers: 1. Aquamaxx ConeS CO3 - $409.99 2. SKIMZ SM 201 Monzter...

    I had to recently replace the float on my jbj because the other one kept sticking, you might need to replace it. I settled on a jebao DC12000 for return & still debating which skimmer :x
