2 Misc powerheads

Some Gallon Sump

Protein Skimmer? (anyone who recognizes brad please post)

Any thoughts?

Also, should i put anything else in the sump other than the filter bag?

Looks nice...I miss having a lionfish, they're one of my favorites. How long have you had this tank set up? Might want to rinse your sock on a regular basis if you plan to run it 24/7. Looks like you might be getting some cyano and algae... a dirty sock can contribute to that. What is your water change regime?
Your skimmer looks good to me. As long as you are getting skimmate (brown yucky stuff in cup) it's doing it's job. All you have to decide is whether you want to run your skimmer wet or not (consistency of skimmate..thick or watery).

yeah actually ive only had the tank for a week (thank you craigslist).

And all the algae was there before i bought the tank. (i transferred all the water in 5 gallon buckets so i wouldnt have to recycle the tank, bad idea, but worked)

Right now im changing 5 gallons everyday because the water i got was dirty as hell, but after that ill be doing 10 gallons a week, maybe more.

thanks for the tips
