Ok so as much as I would love to spend the money and get a nice Reef Octopus skimmer or a little bubble king, but I'm cheap and have a Maxi Jet 1200, Sea Clone Collection Cup and about $40.00 so I mean cheap! I bought the acrylic container from superstore and then the rest is plumbing parts from home depot: 3 1/2" to 1 1/2" PVC pipe, three 3/4" Elbows, one Gate Valve (actually from Can Tire) and 3/4" Street Elbow, and 2" of 1" Vinyl Tubing.

And now I have fitted the parts and let it run over night

So here is what I woke up to this morning and I'm very happy with the preformance!!

The Refugium has been doing a great job just check the pod production and this is in the display tank.

I've have moved a couple things around in the refugium and the display, and its about time for an update on the tank so check it out.

I've been trying to get a pic of my Hector's Goby and the Mandarin but they're just to shy!

The sump has been doing a good job collecting small sediment and pieces of algea, so I felt like it was time to pull out the sump a give it a good clean.

All I know is that this skimmer works, maybe to well! This is all coming out of the little hole in the cap.

The mantis (still haven't found a name) is getting used to the refugium and have been seeing it out and about.

I haven't seen the Harleqiun Shrimp for almost two weeks and had thought it was molting so I decided to pull the rocks out and clean the tank a bit but no sign of the Harlequin. In some good news I bought a 24" Odyssea for cheap and the rock work has been moved and scrubed of any unwanted algea, leaving it looking great! I also brought home a Starry Blennie and a Domino Damsel, and they have been loving the new tank

and everybody gets along which is which is nice. On another note my buddy bought a 3 lbs piece of liverock and inside one of the crevasse's was a hitch hiker anemone so if anyone can ID it that would be very helpful!! Well here are the newly updated pics with the new livestock and new tank shots.

So Chech out this Hitch Hiker, I've done a little research and can't really pull up anything on this, I thought it might be a Tealia Anemone of some kind but no positive ID.

And just some other nice Hitch Hikers that came on some of my rock.

Here are the fish!
