xtm, what do you have for flow in your tank. in the build thread, you said you wanted o externally attach the wave box, how would that be accomplished?

I want to join the club!

My tank is 24x36x10. It used to be my frag tank, but now it is my new display :D

Here it is before I set it up:

And as a frag tank:

But, after I got rid of my frags, I decided I wanted to set up a new display, so here we are now!

As far as corals, It doesnt have much right now. Just a few zoa frags(my favorite, a super blue paly). A toadstool frag, and my dendro. I plan to populate it more in the coming weeks, but for now, Im happy with how it is.
 
Alright guys, I'm about to join the club but I need one last bit of advice.

I have a shot at two different skimmers, both for the same price.

A brand new Tunze DOC 9020

OR

A nearly new Deltec APF 600 recirc with mag 3 feed pump

Both are great skimmers and WAY over rated for my tank.

Help me off the fence!!!!

I'd take the Deltec personally. :D I hear absolutely wonderful things about them. And it being brand new isn't a big deal... they're pieces of equipment submerged in saltwater, so after a couple months the tunze ain't gonna look too new.

I think cham went with the deltec, if so he made the right choice.

I just emailed the guy with the Deltec. I'm buying that one.
