Nice JT. Interested in seeing how that skimmer works. Still have the 150 to get going and looking at skimmers. So far looking at SWC. Stands looks super nice. I always like to see the wood grain.

Thanks Chris. I was going to go SWC, but decided I didn't want to support SWC since it's owner got in trouble again for illegal imports. I saw great reports on this skimmer.

Are you going with LPS, SPS, softies, or mixed? If SPS, it will be interesting to see how the AI Sols do with growth and color. I haven't been able to find a thread on any site that demonstrates what LEDs are capable of. I want to see how they do growing SPS before I make the switch some day.

It will be mostly softy/LPS, but I wil put in some easier SPS.

JT thanks for posting. This is going to be a real beauty.

Nice list of equipment you have for this setup, plus Dave doing the stand. This is going to be NIIIICE! Can't wait to see it setup. How much rock are you putting in and is all the rock from Cerameco? Where did you get that sump?

Thanks G....
The only Ceramico rock I'll be putting in is the structure that I posted. Most of the rock I will be using it Tonga branch.I'm not exactly sure how much I'll be adding. I have it all in a drum in the garage, it's been running since January.
