Default skimmer thing

Rachel, have you decided on what you are going to end up keeping in this tank? For a mixed tank Bruce's size would be fine. If you are aiming really heavy on the SPS down the road, a bit bigger might be better. Bruce can give a better opinion on it's potential though.
To determine the size, first figure out where you would like to put it. If it's going in your sump, you'd size accordingly. If it's remote like Bruce's, you can make it any size you want.
Are you making this yourself? If so, I probably have the best price on 4 and 6 inch tubing. I bought a bunch and can let you have some at cost. Also, check the off cut bins at the acrylic shops for the flat pieces....they're a lot cheaper.
First thing though is to decide what kind of tank you want a year from now and build a skimmer for that....no sense making two [img]images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img]
