    So it's been 26 days and all my parameters are exactly where I want them. I took advantage of reef2go's special they got going on. Buy 1 get 1 free on all kinds of various livestock. Nassarius,blue hermits, turbos, ceriths, and had to get and emerald crab.(with the special i got 2)

    So I just did a water change, and hooked up the skimmer. It looks just plain dumb where I have it, but that's where it will stay until my sump is built...

    But I'm super excited to say the least, and had to share it!;D

    Grats. what did you get as a CUC?

    Did you mod your skimmer to have a drain line in the cup?

    I listed what I got in my original post. I just didnt share the exact numbers.

    And I bought the skimmer from a dude on craigslist. I don't think he modified it that way, I think it came that way. I have the drain line going down to a 2 liter coke bottle. I drilled a hole in the cap and sealed it up. No mess, and no smell!
