Well got home and I would tackle the tower its going to be 36" long 24wide and 78"high
it will house the sump and Skimmer Can't tell ya what one its a Secret. the Kalk Stirrer KR3020 Barr's, and the refugium for the mangroves and other goodies
there will be a few shelfs for the skimmer to sit on its going to be External too.


This is looking down from the tower still have to build a few braces...

Looking good Mike.
Will you be able to situate the new skimmer over the sump somehow to prevent a leak or flood? Have you decided yet how you're going to finish the stand and tower.

Yes Lance the stand will be skinned with maple plywood. and then stained to match a type of doors that i will buy at Home depot. all the doors will be on magnets so no hinges.

Now the canopy will have either light rack that will go up i think. or have the doors that will fold up and then fold again Haven't figured that one out. I leave for ST Jean QUE for a course for 3 weeks so I can think on what i will do.
