Where is the bottom picture? In a different room?

Yes it is. The tank backs up to my office wall where I have the sump & equipment. It makes it very easy to do maintenance & have open access.

Just upgraded my skimmer today. Reef octopus SRO-5000 SSS. Very happy so far, just needs a bit of break-in period.

That GEO CR618 looks like a giant next to that bottle of wine. I like wine btw! Thank you for your support of GEO's Reef products.

Your product makes it easy to support! I love that reactor. I may have to get a bigger one soon. :) will you be at MACNA?
