Had a look at your webshots where did you situate your protein skimmer? is it internal?

Hi Suk,

Nice pics, looks a really cool set-up. Any other props done?

Hi Badboy,
My Seaclone Skimmer just hangs on at the back of the tank. I had a small section of the Brace bars that run around the top of the tank removed to allow the water to fall back in.
The rockwork is strategically positioned to hide the internal pump (Maxijet1000).
:wink:
Hi Ziggy,
Thanks for the compliments m8,
I don't know if you saw a thread I ran a week or so ago but I sliced my Toadstool Coral straight down the middle. :eek:
The reason being it had spread onto two rather large pieces of LR & I'm going to have to move house in a couple of weeks. This way it's easier to move them out & I get two well attatched Toadstools.
:biggrin::biggrin:
