Is that a stainless hose clamp on the return pump?
I've seen hose clamps rust before, marked as stainless, I'd be hesitant to use that.
Nice setup though.
that tank looks like fun.

there isn't much of a contact time when you look at the skimmer. great pump don't get me wrong small footprint, however the contact is what you need .... and its super quiet alot of the skimmer's now are coming in the super no noise mode....

what is your budget if you dont mind me asking .
in sump or External.
a fish room or under cabinet
