In sump skimmer big enough for 125???


I think it is. This is the skimmer Bob made for me. It's in a 55 gallon sump for reference. Also a picture of the big tank he made for me. Thanks Bob, you're the man....

Now that i look at it....it might not be big enough for the 125 sorry to tell you this but you might have to go bigger. So i guess you will be sending me the skimmer?

Especially since there should also be plenty of motion in that ocean as well.

I think I'll get a few more opinions before I get your address. It's eventually going on the bigger tank. Just wanted to see what it looked like in action. Almost couldn't get it in the sump!!!

Don't worry Hink, I saved a few frags for ya...I have a super red cyano frag. This thing is really hardy, I don't think you could kill it if you tried. Plus, it really glows under the super actinics.

I know you had your eye on it.......

Edit: By the way, did you sell all your rock? In a twist of fate, I could buy back the rock I sold you that you sold Jeremiah that I bought from Jeremiah....

Yes, it will be a Bar/table along the side facing the middle of the room and half way down the other sides. I'm going to round the corners and try to match the counter of the bar I built. I'm thinking of a way to build two stone pillars off each corner of the bar to match the stone of the bar as well. Kind of stone furniture if you will. Lights will raise and lower with a switch. I have a friend who's a cabinet maker and he's going to make removable panels for the top and bottom, so I'll have access on all three sides, top and bottom. He built us a custom entertainment center and this will match that piece. Top will be ventilated to the outside via a bathroom fan.
