    Vertex Alpha 250 cone skimmer!!!

    Thanks Darth, However I am only rocking this 1 skimmer on this 300 gallon tank. I will be using 2 on my larger system. I don't want any other kind of skimmer due to the power that the others pull and based with the quality I see with these skimmers I want to stay with them. Since I will be using...

    Erik's 300 gallon tank

    Erik's 300 gallon tank

    Thanks everyone! Here is an updated picture of the tank I took the other day. I am still waiting on my new canopy but I wanted to put my lights on, so I created a "mock" canopy for my lighting.. Also here are some new inhabitants that I picked up. There is already a Grade A & Perc pair in...

    Erik's 300 gallon tank

    It was time to upgrade my equipment on the tank for coral. Luckily I already had bought a 1/2 HP Pacific coast imports chiller not long after I bought the tank because I didn’t want it to overheat. I originally had a mesh modded ASM G4, which worked amazingly. However I wanted something...

    Erik's 300 gallon tank

    Here is how I had envisioned my rock work. However in the end I only kept the tower on the left side: Jump ahead quite a few months for the tank to settle and all. Here is what I had: I had: - Golden Puffer - Pair of Naso Tangs - Powder Blue Tang - 2 Lemon angels - 2 Potters angels - Pair...

    Erik's 300 gallon tank

    Hey, Many of you already know me but have yet to see my tank. I have gone through a couple different phases in my 300 gallon and it is now officially a reef tank. Here is my build.. Here are my tanks before I moved to Washington. I had a 75 reef, 180 reef, and a 150 fish only. 75 reef: 180...

    Vertex Alpha 250 cone skimmer!!!

    Thanks. I am still debating which size. I just want one big enough that I won’t feel like I have to upgrade again anytime soon. The 8 footer will have 6 400watt MH and T5's. The 10 footer will have 8 400watt MH's and T5's. I am still unsure of the amount of T5's I will place on the tanks...

    Vertex Alpha 250 cone skimmer!!!

    Correct. I just like to over skim.. Also with the foot print I am thinking about ( I am trying to decide between 96" x 48" x 32" or 120" x 48" x 32") I plan on having quite a few fish and with the coral added in I figure I would rather have to much then not enough skim. The 300 should easily...

    Vertex Alpha 250 cone skimmer!!!

    I just thought I would share my experience with these skimmers quick as a few people have asked me some questions about them. I just purchased the skimmer last week and received it yesterday. After some sump modification (I had to remove 2 baffles to fit this in the sump. I am upgrading to a...
