    Well I got impatient I got a peice of frogspawn. It has 8 heads on the peice I bought. Cost me $60, I hope its a good deal. Here's a picture after floating for 15mins and dropping it in, hopefully it'll open up soon, it was much larger when I purchased it.

    This build is coming along great nightster. :)

    You've beat me. I've run into some problems as I am not the one paying for the tank. I still need to get my lights the, return pump & the skimmer. That's about $380 + $60(including shipping) for a used coralife 65. A good deal on the skimmer. I'm having troubles swallowing the cost of the lights. lol. Then again I guess I am basically starting a brand new tank. At least i won't have to worry about replacing bulbs. :)

    The Tunze 9002 it the best skimmer for nanos bar none. You will not be disappointed. Watch that magnet though it can literially smash your fingers and anything that get between it. Takes about a week to break in and sometimes you need to repostion the internal pump.
