Any help would be appricated!!!

Cheers, from the east coast!!!!

Cheers back at yah!

I think this tank might push this skimmer to the limit! But if you are unable, or unwilling, to add a sump to your setup, it might be the way to go. According to Deltec, it has a rated capacity of 120G for a heavily stocked tank, such as yours. Should work though, you'll just have to empty the cup (which is small on the MCE600) quite often. There is a used one for sale right now at http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...485#post287485

Another option is to run a Tunze DOC 9010 inside the tank.

Good luck!

BTW, what are you running right now for filtration?
