yungreefer2410 · 07-23-2008, 02:50 PM

tomorrow (thursday) i will be picking up my new 55 gallon tank. it's going to have the 55 tank (regular model) with a 29 gallon sump. i'll be using a reef octapus recirclating protein skimmer. it will be a berlin set-up with protein skimmer and live rock for filtration. i'll post pics soon as i get it. oh yea it also has a corner overflow
