reef octopus nb 110 (i believe). The pump has the threaded return, but I'm missing the part that goes from the threaded return to the awkward sized inlet of the skimmer (between 1" & 3/4")

isnt that how its done?? :~ :(( Thanks for your emergency help Jess. The temp fix is working great. I didnt put the eggcrate below the skimmer. Since the elbow now makes it longer, it barely fit in the sump. Hope the old pump has the part, else i'm in trouble.

It lights up the whole thing! Clamped it down as well, so i have multiple security holders.

Quick update. Finally after waiting for 3 weeks, I got a my replacement pump for the skimmer. Although the old model, this skimmer is a beast! Its barely been 48 hours and its getting a lot of gunk out already. I added a bunch more of macro from 3 different tanks. Now i have chaeto...

Here's a quick video of the tank. The 2 MP10's are in 100% in Tidal Swell Mode www.youtube.com/watch?v=zevGK9JlC6w And a few corals:

Progress you say? Well, I made lots over the last 1 week. Majority of the clean up was today. Very tired. Additions made: Lights: Got my Kessil A350W ! Dosers: added 2 BRS dosers to dose cal & alk - 1.1ml every hour from midnight to noon. Livestock: Red headed salon wrasse. 4...

Art, still interested in that single DC8 if you do part it out. Its a great tank. Wish I would've waited. Might have bought this instead of the 57G.

Few updates! Finally got the rock the way I want it. Plenty of space for the fish to swim, and hide. Also connected my fuge light, added rocks to the fuge and some chaeto: Got my ATO working. This thing evaporates a lot of water! And, I got my Apex setup. Ignore the...

After reading this, I'm probably going to mount it outside. That one got me scared. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2166503 I'll put the EB + the apex base unit outside (on the left of the tank) and the vortech controllers, JBJ ato controller, inside the stand

lol...I need a black background for the reflection. My dilema with putting it outside, I have to run wires thru the small hole inside.since the apex base unit, mp10 controllers, etc will all be inside :o

Should I mount the energy bar of the apex inside the stand or outside? can't decide :(

This was the initial aquascape. I wasn't too happy with it. Wanted to keep some open space for fish and have places where they can hide: (sorry for the crappy iphone picture) Then I moved things around to this:

Jess helped me setup my new tank (ok, I was just standing there and watching :p ) Info: Tank: 57g Oceanic Illuminata RR Sump: eshopps RS-100 Skimmer: reef octopus NWB 110 (waiting for a replacement pump) Return pump: eheim 1260 Flow: 2 x vortech MP10 (wireless) Light: Currently...

Thanks! These "macro" shots are using a 50mm prime lens and a 17-40 f/4L , lol. Here's one of the scoly's more up close and personal. Having a non-bowfront tank makes shots so much better (should've learnt from my first tank)

These are pictures from the new setup (will create a tank journal)

Kessil. You'l also be able to control the intensity of blue/white (manually) and the tank will be cooler, much cooler.

Thats what I was thinking. getting a dime sized tang. But its anyways months away since I'd want it to stabilize with half new water.

Very nice. Love the fish list. Would not get clowns though, the b&w i have right now, hates me, lol. I'm going from a 28 nanocube as well to the 57. so will be transferrring my 25-30lbs of rock. Already have a tailspot blenny. I'll probably end up with 3 -4 wrasse, cardinals, and a trio of...

Thanks. I believe it is the RS100, not the 200. (http://www.eshopps.com/?page=RS_100#) Its not end to end size of the stand, since the tech stand has support pillars. Its a modified RS100 where the section for the skimmer is seperated by a acrylic baffle to create a small refugium area. I...

Lol, i can't wait to get back. Get back on the 21st. Want the tank delivered 26th. Very impatient, lol. so want to do any of the buying beforehand so that you can help set it up :D
