Looks like an amazing tank coming together! The plumbing looks very clean...at least as clean as it gets for this type of setup!

Quick update. Been super busy!
The skinning is done minus two trim pieces that hide the left and right seam. The wood is select pine trim and pine ply for the doors. The doors are trimmed with 3/4" round. Everything is stained ebony and urithaned. The backs are all white.
Still waiting on skimmer, should be here this week or next week. Reef speciality is back ordered for SRO external 5000 skimmers.
Next, the hood.

update!
The stand has been skinner, stained, and urithaned. Turned out exactly how I wanted it to!
And a current FTS. Still have to build the hood. And rout all the wires through some kind of wire channel.

You're gonna love that skimmer. Have you decided between having a feed pump or plumbing out of your return line?

Yes, I'm feeding it with a mag 7.
I love these skimmers. Great performance!

Thank you!
Thank you! What's your question about the skimmer? I don't understand what your asking.
Cant wait to finish the hood build.
The question now is do I go with LEDs for the actinics or use T5s?

Yes the skimmer is oversized, but I'll be feeding heavy and the bio load will be heavy.
I ran an external SRO xp2000 on my old 120 sps dominated tank. Worked like a champ.
This skimmer is skimming already!
