Thank you guys :fish1:
There are 4 tanks, 35G each. Dimensions: 90x60x25[H]cm (35"x24"x10"[H]). I mounted 3 pipes under the floor, so these tanks are connected to the main sump which is under the DT. In the lowest tank I plan to grow algae. Two middle will be frag tanks. The highest one was to be a quarantine tank but it was too small for most fish I introduced to the DT. I put there an ozone reactor.
Some more pics:
Nothing special. Nikon D40 with standard lens 18-55mm. No filters, just white balance.
Now both 400W bulbs are ReefLux 12000K. T5s are two Aqua Medic Reef White 15000K and two ATI Purple Plus.
To simplify everything I add Tropic Marin complete kit. Bio-Calcium, Bio-Magnesium, K+ A- Trace Elements and Reef Actif. I use "hand doser" directly from the box to the sump
To be honest I wanted to buy Royal Exclusive Bubble King or Aqua Special Red Skim but I run out of money. Reef Octopus is not the most popular brand of skimmer in Poland but I don't regret choosing it. I had to get used to water level regulation but now everything is more than OK. And its price... is very adequate to what you get.

Talk about detail!! beautiful setup and well thought out planning all the way down to the plumbing. Did you see a big difference in the the new skimmer compared to the old one?

Hello,
Your tank and it will be a great source of inspiration for my next tank!
I venture to ask you some questions?
What thickness of glass did you? 12 to 15 mm?
And how large are the glass reinforcements all around the tank? 50 - 60 mm?
Do you know the dimensions of your box weawbox? The idea of integration is great.
Sorry for my english I translate by google.
Thank you in advance.

Once again thank you for your comments.
In sump there is always some carbon (about 1kg), I use UV steriliser and add ozone. I regulary add Reef Actif + water changes every 2 weeks (Bio Actif sea salt). That`s all. When watching several pics on RC I think about using Sera Siporax.
The old one - ATI BM 250 - was working when I had just a few fish in the tank. That's why it was OK. Before adding new fish I changed the skimmer. There is no difference when you look at the aquarium but I'm pretty sure that the old skimmer would be too weak with all these fish I have now.
Glass is 15mm (opti white). Rim is 60mm, in near future it'll be covered with aluminium angle. I copied dimmensions from original Tunze WaveBox. As far as I remember it was 300x125x110mm.
