I don't have a whole lot of livestock in the tank yet since I just got this one going back in January, but here goes...

Haven't had a chance to get pics of the ozonizer and skimmer. It is a fairly simple setup though... air pump to dryer to ozonizer, then through tygon tubing to the venturi on the skimmer.

Very nice. Is that the maristar? I love mine.

Thanks Mark. Now that I got everything assembled and running, I need to save up some more money so I can stock it...
Yep, I use the Maristars too, I have two of them. I really like them, a lot better quality than Coralife. I rewired them using Icecap ballasts for the halides. I keep the top of the tank open as you can see and haven't had a serious heat issue yet. The one thing I don't like about the Maristar is having to take the whole end of it off to get to the bulbs (or I am just incompetent...).

No you are not incompetent. That is my one qurk as well. I love the unit and I am using the dual blue wave ballast.
