nice tank
I'd move the rocks away from the glass. much easier to clean and you will be happier in the long run.Just sayin' |

That's a good idea. I'll have to rearrange it. I already noticed that in these salt tanks the stuff that crusts on the glass is super hard to get off! I'm going to buy a cleaner / scraper too of some sorts because my sponge doesn't cut it anymore.

You can use a razor blade to clean the hard algae off the glass but be warned razors disintegrate fast with salt water even cleaning with fresh water

That's looking pretty good!
I'm not sure if you intended to include those photos as URL links or not, but another option (in case you didn't already know) is to include those photos inline using the IMG tags. It's the little yellow icon (looks like a mountain with a moon) in the post editor :-) This way your photos can appear without having to click the link, like this. ![]() Again, you may already know all this. I only bring it up because people (ME) are lazy |

I can switch the way I post the photos - I did it the other way because the resolution of the photos is fairly large.
I got my SWC 120 cone skimmer from spit.fire the other day got it setup at 7.5" depth - but all I get is the cup filling with water in about 2 seconds I have the air valve wide open and I'v tried adjusting the flow valve but haven't had any success. Anyone have any tips?

Ya, that would be a good reason to post the photos the way that you were originally doing it :-) Carry on :-)

If its possible to raise the skimmer some more it might help, recommended height is 5-8".

I'm bad at this. I sold my 90G freshwater tank and bought a 120G saltwater tank now >.<.
Now I need new LEDs and a new skimmer! Only debate for me now is do i want to put the effort in again and build the LEDs again or just buy some pre-built ones
