Jesse - I love your rock layout! Very simple, but gives you great potential for frag placement! I can't wait for those frags to grow out (and i'm sure your as excited as me), all those ledges and shadowed spots will be awesome for a mixed reef!
Whispre - What HOB fuge did you go with? I have the 2.5gal CPR hob fuge with a Prizm skimmer, which i'm modding until i can afford a larger skimmer. I've really been looking into the Reef Octo 800s HOB. I've heard great things about this skimmer, but for almost $250 ive been wondering what my other options for HOB skimmer would be. Anyone with info please fill me in!
On a side note, i've just been called back into work after a 3 month layoff, and i'm not sure how long this job is, but just to let everyone know, my posts will probably reduce drasticly! I'm going to be working 10hrs mon-thurs so i'm hoping my extended weekends will allow me enough time to check in and post when i need to. I have apprenticeship classes tues and thurs, so those days are out the window. I completely enjoyed my time home with the wife and kids (and RC!), but i guess it's time for me to go back into the workmen's life.
