skimmer is finally working pretty good....developed some kind of popping sound (sounds like pop corn) but goes away if i put tension on the air intake so I'm gonna have to take a look at it other than that its doing really well

Love the aquascape. Keep up the good work
Thanks. I think that it makes the setup look cheap, which we all know isn't the case. For the price of the mount it shouldn't lean, the problem is the plastic assembly that actually holds the tank, it isn't strong enough to support the weight. I think they should at least advertise a picture of it from the side so that you know what you're getting, all of their pictures are from angles making it impossible to see. I shimmed mine between the arm and the rail so the light is parallel to the top of the tank, since no one would take the mount back.

Love it
Did you write down the sizes of all the pieces of wood you used? Want to build my own, but in a small apt I don't want to buy a saw and would like to have a part list of sizes I need the wood cut to so I can have them do it at the hardware store.Here's a dry run. Should have it primed and painted this weekend!

Welcome to Saltwater
I'm looking at a reef octopus icecap pk50 skimmer it looks good will handle a larger bioload and when I add a icecap cube refugium it can go in there looks promising already on orderSlow and steady wins the race.
The ATO should be here next week, then the only piece of equipment I need is a skimmer, but I can get the tank up and cycling without that. Now for a day full of chores and stand construction...
That's a refugium that will fit in the JBJ AIO? When I googled it I only found icecap reef sumps. Do you have a link?
I'll check out that skimmer too, I haven't made a decision on one yet, I still have some time while my tank cycles.
