    This is pics of my cabinet with very little space in it. I just got a CPR aero Skimmer that I traded a par 38 from a cool guy in vegas and this things skims like a beast. Already got half a cup in two days.  The ac3 never wants to stick to the velcro for some reason, as you can see from the pic. I had to do a running renovation today to adapt my cabinet to the new skimmer. Having to slowly push the tank stand from the wall to cut into the back to put the skimmer in. There was absolutely no room in the cabinet for the skimmer. So reorganizing and moving the refugium to the far inner corner so  as the skimmer could hang on to the  back of the refugium . This lets me get to the collection cup and with the wall reinstalled after the skimmer was installed  no algae in the skimmer cus it gets no light contamination. Or very little light ./Portals/0/activeforums_Attach/101_2565.jpg/Portals/0/activeforums_Attach/101_2566.jpg/Portals/0/activeforums_Attach/101_2564.jpg

    Haha, what is this? A "who can stick the most **** under their aquarium" contest?? I think I got you beat but not by much. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

    You must not have kids, I can just imagine my 1 y/o daughter trapped in your "DB8 trap" LOL

    Not sure if it's just the picture or what but that skimmer looks awfully close to the outlet, if that cup overflows you may have a problem.

    Anyway, looks cool man, I'm a sucker for rimless tanks.

    Love the look of a rimless tank, so nice and clean /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif Yeah, those wires/DC8 detract from the tank though...... if it were my tank, I'd find something, maybe a small cabinet or little table to put in front. Then you'd also have more room to put stuff in /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/wink.gif

    What brand of lights are those? Specs?

    Ok , Sorry was at gym earlier when I responded did not get phishcrazee complete list. Ok you wanted to know lights and I assume tank specs?
    AI Nano- 35 watt max really bright light clam loves it so do the corals. Lights controlled by Ai controller with 3 hour ramp up and 3 hour ramp down (Thunderstorms included.)
    Tank is a GLA 30C or 7.5 gallon with a 5 gallon refugium and I think 2 gallons in the cpr aeroskimmer.
    Running an Ac3
    ph and temp probes
    the orp probe I got from craig got pinched and the line corroded so it was giving my ph probe false reading for 2 months took it out and all is right.
    Ato system with kalkwasser controlled by Ac3
    Mp10 for circulation
    titanium heater controlled by Ac3
    Tanks is all but completely automated except for water changes and feeding.
