Thanks. That looks pretty cool. Do all the cuts look good? Easy to assemble?

Cuts re good everything was nice I have not started building yet was few burs on some parts they do gave you so e sand paper. The Weldon stuff they give is the thick kind so edges do not need to be perfect.

I'll have a full build on that I'll write up.

Started building the skimmer not a ton done but its coming along I'll post pics later of what I started.

Update for overflow I wanted. Called reef savy about the ghost overflow to make sure it would work in my tank with the trim just to be sure and it would but catch is they are not making them now and from what the word was April/may but from what I got there is not a date right now. So either I wait even longer (nah). Get a acrylic shop to make me 2 boxes to my size for internal and external or build my own from glass or acrylic.
