Special for you Mike, as we all know what a Skimmer whore you are and you love the pics, how about a pic of a skimmer! The water supply, air supply and collection cup drain are all plumbed into the wall (air not finished yet) when done all you will see is a foaming cylinder in the corner, all the lines are hidden from view. I am working on LED backlighting so it will be a glowing cylinder of foam

Hahaha that would make this a truly unique build! A glowing 5' tall skimmer!

looks like the leg of your stand is leaning out to the left from the tank. Is this just me?

Lighting the skimmer is an awesome idea! +1 on the wierd angle of the leg...

I can't get over how fast this is going up! Excellent job and you have some really unique ideas.

Looking good Dave. Love those blue walls, and the backlit skimmer is a cool idea. By the time I get home you'll have the fish in for sure.

You would lean too if you were holding up 7500lbs

In fact the leg is leaning but is not supporting anything, It will be trimmed and straightened when the skirting goes on.

Thanks, once in a lifetime opportunity to do it the way I dream, I want it done right once, no re-do for me.
