This one is on my 92 gallon corner. Heavy bioload, so I like a big skimmer. Its been on for a few hours, and its already starting to get the nasty out!!

Well it sucks because I had to take all my live rock out to fit this big thing. I'm going out today to look for a bigger sump. My current sump is 20 gallons, I will be looking for a 30 gallon ish....

Is that tank for SW? I don't suggest crushed coral for a SW tank, unless you plan on doing a thorough cleaning of it weekly. Sand will become "live" with all the cool creatures that will stir it for you.

GSL, How many tanks do you have now?

I only have my 92 gallon tank right now. I'm getting. 225 soon though, I will transfer the puffer over to it. I haven't decided what I'm doing with the 92 yet. I'm either doing a reef tank or a eel tank with it.
