Thanks justin and rwd. 
Geoff the mods are ,
I added an extra riser piece and turned it into an MR-3 , since hight isn't a problem .
I added some elbows into the black box so the bubbles shoot right up into the riser . That helps not to waste any bubbles and keep micro-bubbles out of the sump.
Finnaly I added a riser pipe to the beckett . This helps the water saturate with bubbles with the faster flow through . I believe it also keeps some back pressure of the beckett since I run the skimmer wet and needs to have a high water level .
Thanks for asking,
Joe

Beautiful tank Joe.
I've got a question also. I see you've tapped off a line to feed your calcium reactor. Is that your return line to the tank, or the skimmer feed? I'm going to use that idea myself, eliminate that pump in my sump, maybe a little heat will be lost too. |

Thanks Rob and Yardboy,
That is my return line . It's a samll manifold that I used to feed the calcium reactor and the carbon reactor .
I hate clutter in the sump so that is how I solved that .
I actualy stole the idea from Geo . (GEO SKIMMERS AND CALCIUM REATORS GUY ).
Thanks
Joe
