    Skimmer for sale

    This is a skimmer made by Acrylic City. It is rated for up to a 125 but could probably be used on a 180 that was lightly stocked. It is an in-sump skimmer with a Mag 5 pump, it works very well. I am selling it because I was running it on a 210 and need a bigger skimmer, but it did a pretty...

    Recent picture of my tank

    Just so you all don't think I am just talking out my rear, here is a picture of my 58gal sps tank, there are a few LPS and some zoo's but mainly sps frags. It looks a bit bare, but once those sps start growing it will fill in nicely. It is about 8 months old.
