Default SKIMMER KING's 36x36x21 CUBE

Ok so after downgrading to my 65 gal RSM 250. I knew that I wasn't happy are we ever happy in the reefing hobby...... (NO) However after my huge crash my tank went down hill loosing all my
acans
Ricordia's
scollies
and yes my fish I was stuff with a limited, limited few frags and reg turf Algae that I can not get away from.
So after scratching the heck out of my tank AKA star fire front CANT STAND THAT GLASS I w as secretly looking for another tank to add to the replacement of this tank. Hence then I saw the cube that I wanted himing and hawing about the tank I needed to get to Calgary to get this. What the heck am I going to do. When I want something I get it. Well I do look at all those skimmers for the love of god. So then I hear that Nanoreef is driving his misses to Calgary on a weekend and then AHHA that is my ticket.

SO you know the rest of the story. lol I have a tank now.

So here is the history on the tank and stand.

Marine land cube 36x36x24,all
black with stand and canopy.
So Carson who owned it the tank seams split so he got Dave to build him a new tank. 36x36x21 with external overflow.
euro braced 5/8's glass
standard glass not that Star- fire crap Sorry all I hate it with a passion far to easy to scratch.
