Yo Cody, are you doing a color scheme on the plumbing? loving the epic builds lately on scr. Ev's and yours and my next one. lmao

No idea at this point, but my sump and steel stand and perimeter bracing are all gray (both the PVC / Acrylic and the welds)... so some color may make it pop. Def not doing red though... can I get teal plumbing? Seriously.

That's a beefy skimmer, low wattage considering the size as well.

That first site is confusing me... I'm not sure what I'm ordering haha I like that color though.

BeanMachine · Nov 10, 2016

Anyone like sneak peak pictures? I do!

lowbudget · Nov 10, 2016

cody is that the steel frame

Yeah top and bottom. I paid a little more and upgraded the top bracing to 2" trim.

But with the 3/4 glass and peremeter bracing, there isn't any cross braces at all.

BeanMachine · Nov 10, 2016

I got my new skimmer as well.

AquaMaxx CO-5

805reef · Nov 10, 2016

that's a big *** skimmer. also, I need a beer. 7 more hours til the weekend

reefes pieces · Nov 10, 2016

Whoomp there it is! having no cross brace looks real clean! Also, I like the gray aluminum. Black aluminum would make it look like a huge petco tank.

Tangwich · Nov 10, 2016

Oh man, this is coming along nicely. Codester, you lucky dawg.

innerspark · Nov 10, 2016

Need more pic Cody!

BeanMachine · Nov 10, 2016
