New 90 Gallon Setup
Hey Guys and Gals, just wanted to share my biggest project yet! 90 Gallon with a 40 Sump! We made the stand out of fiberglass instead of 2x4 just was more practical and stronger. Here are some of the pics of the build. More to come.

I wanted to eliminate noise so I am putting the Chiller and the pump outside my house. I just wish I had mopre space for like a 250 or 300 but this is all the space permits. Im still undecided on the Skimmer I want to put in.

ASM is just made of some cheap acrylic. I have the G3. The Octopus are very nicley built! That will be the way I go next on any other tank. Plus they seem to produce bubbles and skimate a little better.
But why they use non standard size PVC sucks!
Oh well! not a big deal.
The NW 200 may be overkill on this 90, not that necasarilly bad, but by looking at the sump I don't think there will be anyway for it to fit!
The NW 150 may be a tight fit!

I fit the 200 on mine and love it. It does suck that they use mm measurements but its an easy fix. I think i used a 1.5" coupler and shaved down the inside a little bit to fit the plumbing

His sump section just looks small. But either way I agree if it fits why not. BIG skimmers make life easier.
And yeah a buddy just got the NW 200 and we had to dremel the coupler a little as well so it would slide on!
Hey BTW..what water level is your NW 200 in??

Hey Cabana Boy! 
Let me rephrase. How deep is the water level in the SUMP section that the skimmer is sitting in.
I can see how misinterpreted my original stmt!

Here is some new pics. My Sequence m220 pump outside. Ive transfered my livestock from my 40 gal corner. I'm still waiting for my skimmer and mh lights. Im trying to sell my 40 galln because
money is starting to get tight with this setup.
