Hey Rodge,
Your set up looks great. The skimmer sits perfectly in your sump. And your canopy....very nice.
Keep on keepin' on

Re: Rougie's 55 Ratiocinative Reef II

Hey Roug,

Glad you're making great progess, I am also in the middle of building a 55 gal. I have documented the steps, but have not posted them yet. Keep up the good work! Hope everything works for you.

Re: Rougie's 55 Ratiocinative Reef II

Thanks AquaJoe! Let me know how yours progresses!

More updates!

Canopy is painted and stained! I cut some slots on the side for my thermal fans and just need to mount the lights! It is getting there. Getting close to the "adding the water" stage!

Cheers!
