Looks good!
 
Nice, looks like a cool project.
 
Thanks guys. it is a fun project, but then again anything SW is fun to me! :D


However i am not new to Reef keeping, i have plenty of LS and LR

The 240 that is housing my rays will be my new Reef once i am moved , as the rays will be going in a pond in the basement and my 240 in a wall.

do not need a skimmer on a 10gal nano. sure it is great if your the lazy hobbyist, but that's what WC are for once a week :D
 
I am about to place a order for a H&S A250-2x1260 skimmer for my 240 reef. :D :headbang2

i will also be useing a 150gal or larger sump/fuge as well as 4x 250w MH's and 2x 72" 2-160w VHO and or T5's :D :headbang2

i have a list of other items that i will be investing on in the next few months to be ready so once i am moved i will be ready to do the change over.
