I like the rocks, looks like the old Tonga branch rock to me.

Good luck with your build!

Yes it’s natural Tonga branch
It’s always been my favorite type of rock

If you're looking for a skimmer to run, I recently added an Aqua Excel AE-NANO50D to my IM 25g Lagoon because it's the biggest skimmer I could find that fits in one of the back chambers. I had to cut off a tiny plastic holder for the airline tubing and mount it to the side divider rather than the back in order to make it fit, but I'm really happy with it and it's been skimming very reliably. I got it on Alibaba for $63 including shipping and taxes, and it took just under 2 weeks to get here. I also connected a CO2 scrubber to the air intake now that winter is coming and the house will be sealed up tight. Since the skimmer is so cheap, I ordered a second one as a backup, or I could use one in each chamber if I need more air running through the CO2 scrubber.
