Thanx HMA. I built a stand for the skimmer and I'm finishing up the wainscot cover for the stand (ran out of wood). I can't decide between magnets and velcro to connect the covering to the stand. The entire front panel will be removable. I will post pics later.

Pic of stand and canopy and skimmer on its stand. This setup will be exact in the house; with the skimmer offset from the tank. I will build a box that I will cover with wainscot to mimic the stand that will be used to hide the skimmer on one side of the tank and a 10 gal glass tank for top off on the other. I will also reconfigure the sump/fuge to add size to the fuge since the skimmer is running external. I will however leave enough space to house the calc reactor in the sump as well.

Lol....I thought to offer but I figured you had your mind made up. How's everything going by the way have you begun the new setup yet?

prow · 12-16-2007, 11:31 AM

stand and canopy coming in about a week or so. it will be made out of walnut with a dark stain. always wanted a stand made of walnut, never though i could afford it. but check this out, the stand and canopy only cost me $701.00. he even had to do a costum job on the doors. i wanted 3 big doors, normally he makes them with 2 mid size doors. holding off on everything else till i get it. my poor wrasse has to share that 30gal QT with that canary till this gets going--its going to be like a 4 month QT-i did that to my tang in that old 20gal too, i think stunted his growth, hehehe.

Let me know when Jack is coming I'd like to meet him and Vicki if she's coming

deaclauderdale · 12-22-2007, 02:07 PM

Figured I better post some updated pics as to avoid displeasure in the length of time that it is taking to finish the tank.....lol

Side panel installed and stained:

Canopy:

And for giggles I ran out of clamps so I improvised:

I'm using a cherry wood stain by Minwax. A 3 inch molding strip will be used to finish of the canopy and stand

IN tis one you can see the SCWD (closed loop) which is being replaced with two 1200 Maxi-Jet mods

Sand being added

The tank under one VHO (broke the ohter)

deaclauderdale · 02-05-2008, 12:09 AM

A shot of the fuge being set up. I added 5 inches of sand to the fuge this time increasing it from three.

Shot of the tank filling

Fuge up and running

Once the tank completes the cycle I will transfer the MH from the 29 gallon and replace the other MH that I damaged not being careful. The ETSS is still powered off as I'm not sure if I should run the skimmer during the cycle.

I LOVE those rounded corners! Everything looks great!
