Looks like your getting some good production out of the skimmer. I've run alot of H&S, never had a A200 1260. That was one of the options for this tank. I had a 250Int. 2x1260 and truthfully it was probably too much for my 350gal. I like the ext. skimmers but I would have to place it outside the cabinet becouse my internal height of my stand is only 29"s tall. I made this one a little shorter becouse the tank ended up being 26"s tall.
I like how you have the maifold system for the phosban reactors. I'm thinking of running dual Tunze 1073.040 master circ pumps as returns and have a manifold type system to deliver water to reactors on one of them. I'm using a phosban w/ Po4 remover and carbon and a old zeo reactor w/ Siporax for added bio filtration.

The H&S skimmer is a great skimmer and the service that the guys at fins reef provide is second to none; but you already know that
If I had to do everything over again, I would of went with my first instinct and went with an internal pump. I guess it would be different if I was trying to puch a lot of water through my sump, but I have never been interested in that. I even have my snapper throttled back as is.
Thanks Ian, Not too bad for a tank with high po4 :lol:
Thanks again Brian for all of your support and help.

Outstanding....I need to do some shopping from your tank

Nice Thread! By the way you owe me about 3 hours of my life for reading this book! J/K
Anyhow I do have one question? You posted a photo of your sump and how you sent water to your skimmer and your fluidized reactors! My question is do you feel that you get less flow at the end of your chain. I ask this only because you have one ball valve on the gate of all three.
Just asking as I am going to set up the system similar to the way JT had it. I just am not sure about the extra lines (Fluidized Reactors, Calcium Reactor etc..).. I have a few ideas...
Again.. Nice Thread..
