the lower it is the wetter the skim-mate, the higher it is the dryer, it all depends if you feed a lot then wet skimming could be good, dry skimming is kinda for low nutrient tanks with not many fish. IMO

your base rock will not cause a cycle, the sand you are going to use is it from a tank ?? if so it shouldn't cycle that bad if at all, if you use all your water and top off with fresh salt water, also you can use some of your existing sand to also help with getting necessary bacteria in the new...

Here's a bump for you, unless you want to take my wifes low ball offer. let me know

good luck with your sale.

go slow and cool with a lot of water

$60 for a filter plate ??? don't get me wrong but sounds kinda steep.. they are $40 new ....

I have one and LOVE it, nice thick dry foam when you want it or tweak it a tad and skim wet, for the money it's a heck of a skimmer.

here's the canopy I built for my perfecto 125 that I know longer have. it had for lighting 4 400watt halides under spider reflectors and 2 72" vho actinics powered by a icecap 660. the stain I made up was honey pine ,golden oak mixed aprox. 50/50 satin finish

have the moderators move this thread to the DIY, equipment , lighting post area. I built one a few years ago but don't have any pic's any longer. do a search for threads containing the topic your looking for.
