On a good note everything is alive. The in-tank refugium i made out of plastic mesh canvas is holding up nicely although it is an eyesore. i may have to rebuild it in a differnt shape....
the good-
its here

the bad-
so far im regreting the skimmer upgrade... I cant get the skimmer water level to the bottom of the collection like it says in the instructions.... i pretty much have to submerse the entire skimmer to get it to the indicated level in the manual...

the worse-
I had to do some DYI to fit into the chamber... which i knew i would have to... The case came with a magnet attached to the skimmer body i had to cut it off to make it fit. But now im afraid i wont be able to get it working properly like the other nc28's and now i wont be able to return it.
