Josh, how are you shooting these pics again? They are just awesome.
Do you still have your Phoenix?
Oh mistaken identity. Our friend who lost his partner... argh. It will come to me. Another embarrassing brain fart.The CB Flaming Phoenix? If so, yes but it's just a frag at the moment. Looks very promising though!
I LOVE this idea. Besides, now that you bought it, you are committed!Picked up a 100 gallon Rubbermaid stock tank over the weekend. I am thinking of plumbing it into my system for added water volume and me to remove all of my check valves. I am going to put a valve on the bottom for eazy water changes. Should allow me to dump 40 gallons when needed.
Tank is doing well right now so a little nervous about making a surgical change like this.
100 gallon tub with a valve in the bottom was one of the best decisions I made for the tanks in the fish barn. Super easy water changes, if needed, and no need for 4 tanks to have siphon break or check valves. I just have a float switch to shut my skimmer off when water level gets high.Picked up a 100 gallon Rubbermaid stock tank over the weekend.

In addition to the usual temp and salinity match, don't forget to match up some nitrates and potentially phosphates. Depending on how deep you are going to run the sump, that could be a fair amount of dilution.

It is the 200. The water level is right at the bottom of the red writing on the side. Or dead center of the height of the out pipe, however you want to look at it. This level gives me a very dry skim with the valve all the open. Being as I have a massive macro tank, I do not want to skim out too much stuff, but still want some gunk out.That is exactly what I am looking to do. I just checked out your build thread. Nice setup!! I will be following along. I see you have the Octo skimmer. Is that the 200INT? I have that one as well. If so, how high is the water level in your sump for that skimmer?
