Out with the old an in with the new!

So I recently decided that with th future improvement plans for my system that I need to do something about my skimmer which will be undersized for the plans I have, I traded some stuff around and acquired a Kent nautilus ex 24 with a quiet one 4000 modded for a skimmer and I already had an aquamedic turboflotor 1000 multi. After months of grinding my teeth over the fact that the nautilus wasn't much bigger than the turboflotor, I decided I needed to just get one that my heart was content with. So here are a few pics of my sump as it was and then some of how it is now. I never took any of the whole just some of my reactors and then of the turboflotor, had to do some rearranging to get it in. Enjoy!

That's sweet, looks like one bad A$$ skimmer. How big is the future tank going to be? Did I miss another thread on your upgrade?

I'm sticking with the 120 but going from a 55g sump to a 125 and going to incorporate a satellite refugium, frag tank, and possibly a quarantine. Also have some ideas for a "wave maker" that would probably be 10g tank with some sort of float type activation for a dump or flush if you will into the display.

Nice new toy you've got there. When you add your quarantine tank don't plumb it to your sump or you'll be defeating the purpose of a quarantine.

Roger That, I was actually thinking of doing some plumbing wizardry and having it be a part of the system until needed then valve it off and just discard the water and refill with new. All plans thus far are merely dreams, and the finished product will likely be nothing like I envision it.
