thanks guys. Reefer bob , thanks on the skimmer feedback. If i wanted to upgrade on the pump , would an ehiem 1262 work ? pricey , but i would want less noise and heat from the pump. i am also thinking of upgrading my sump. right now it's pretty cramped since its a custom sump. the dimensions are 29 3/4 x 13 3/4 x 16.

i really can't stand my rock work skills. i feel i am lacking enough shelving or something. Hit me with the comments and criticism , lol. think i need it. i think i am going to go at the rock work again soon. might have to try and find at least one or two more shelves. here is another shot.

You call that sump cramped? Pffft... you ain't seen cramped until you've put an ASM G3, 2 reactors, 2 filter socks, 2 feed pumps, a return pump, and an ATO into a 20g (with a hang on fan)! lol

Aside from that the tank is looking good. Don't worry too much about the rock work. Once it fills in with corals you won't be able to see the rock anyway!

haha , with time we shall see. i your right about the sump , i have seen some nice tanks with limited space. feel like i went armature on the plumbing and wish i had a done a skimmer / return / refuge on my sump. anyone with a tech tank or any suggestions on plumbing for this tank?
