COReefer Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 When I set up my 150 I didn't have a whole lot of cash to put into setting the tank up so I decided I would used parts and pieces from all of the systems I was breaking down. It worked pretty well for me but it kinda looked like crap. So here we go!!!! Previous Mess with the Coralife super skimmer that I have used for 2 years now and it has been good to me. I'll prolly put it on my frag tank. The other skimmer is a POS Ruben Special. (the worst craftsmanship I have ever seen I believe) New Skimmer (to me) beside reefcrystals bucket for size reference. I believe it's the reef octopus nw200. It's the 8 inch version with the turbine3000 pump New Sump. It's 48 x 22 deep x 18 tall. It's a beast new sump and skimmer under stand I really want to thank John at Oasis for really hooking me up with this. Oh and it was a lot of fun getting it under the stand.
