Got some pretty sweet upgrades!!

I got a new sump and protein skimmer today. Here is the pic of the sump, will put the skimmer up tommorrow. I'm pretty excited I didn't pay a dime for this stuff. This will be for my 120 reef and will be plumbed to my garage as my current 55 sump is. Later on I'm going to plumb a fowlr tank into this sump and skimmer. You can see the lawn mower for a size comparison. This is going to double my water volume, allow a huge fuge. Might seem like overkill but hey........it was free

Oh and when I get the picture of the skimmer up you will understand why I'm asking this question.....can you have to big of a protein skimmer??

Looks pretty neat ( AND BIG) LOL...What are all the holes for?

 

[reefaholic33]

Well I'm gonna have to plug up a couple of them. One will be for the protein skimmer which uses an external Iwaki pump. Then the other will have an external return pump. This will also got some heat out of the water. I'm not sure what he used the other ones on the sides for, maybe a calcium reactor or something.
