Loc, you are like an acrylic factory. What's your next project? :lol:
Once again, a beautiful piece of workmanship.

Thank you for your comments,
JenDub--- I have spent about 2 weeks on and off, it's very hard to tell how many hours actually put into it. It's sort of fun doing something that I like if you know what I mean.
Kenny--- I think I am running out of projects now. I will finish mine pretty soon and then I build another bk for REEFER714, then will see what comes up.
Gabriel--- Where did you get it from, any deal?

Wow! that's what I thought. Anyway, I still wait for your dimensions for the lights rack thing or you want me to proceed this deal first? I can have it done this Sunday. Please let me know.

Very nice work. Have you decided what pump your going to use? Or are you going for the dragon?

Hey, this is the first skimmer I've ever built. I think the second one might be suck. Those pipes are not fixed yet., just for checking it out

For around a hundred you could get the Oceanrunner 3700 or Sedra 9000. From what I have read in the DIY forum is the Oceanrunner is the better pump. I think I read the Eheim is a little better than both but costs more. Have you read this? http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=833546&highlight=eheim Are you going to feed it from overflow or small pump? You could wait until the Dart needle wheel comes out.
