well ive got plenty of eggcrate, so i think i will make it 10". id rather have more water volume too, more room for error every little bit counts.

anyone know of any good sites for DIY rock. i want a certain look in the tank, but i dont think i will find all the right piece of rock that i want. and BRS is all sold out.

Perhaps I should mention-make sure you have enough hieght to get the collection cup off the skimmer body after it is lifted.

i have more than enough, i probably could have 2 skimmers on top of each other. i wanted my stand to be a showcase tank, so that you dont have to bend over to look into the tank. its 40 " tall. ive got plently of room. thanks for the heads up though.

Splatter it with purple and pink. That way it already looks like its covered in coraline.
