Finally! Decided to give bubble magus curve 7 skimmer a shot. Price was too attractive at Aquarama and after doodling with the skimz sm 161, felt the additional air intake valve too much of a hassle though performance seems very good and prices were good at Aquarama hope I won't be disappointed with the BM skimmer post-600-13701588583381_thumb.jpgpost-600-13701587708875_thumb.jpgpost-600-13701588073265_thumb.jpg

A glimpse of my tank to do any last minute troubleshooting before installation. Unfortunately there were more ventilation lourves than I requested. Wanted only 3. Dan has been great in his service an will be changing that portion for me. 2 thumbs up for his service. Installation on Monday. Really excited!post-600-13706175624718_thumb.jpg

Looking good.The chamber after the ato is the fikter sock area? Pretty narrow I would say for a filter sock.<br /><br />Sent from my Android using Tapatalk2

<br />Hi bro, yup I agree it's quite narrow but already quite limited space. I've got no plans for filter sock though. Maybe just some filter sponge for basic mechanical filtration

For filter sponge, depending on yr water level and placement, just make provision for chokage and flooding. Happened to me once and now placed 4 pipes vertically to ensure any overflow will goes to sump and not flood out. Just my 2 cents sharing. From yr description, your new place at fernvale area?

<br />Thanks bro for the advice. Will take note of that and probably not fill that chamber fully with sponge. Yup, my new place is at Fernvale

To my wife, it is just a bathroom window with a nice view. To me, I see T95 shipments comingpost-600-13698233815674_thumb.jpgpost-600-13698233933792_thumb.jpg

Was that the reason why you bought this unit? Can call you next time before we go T95

<br />Haha. I just hope they don't shift away anytime soon. One of the cheapest live rocks available too.

Exciting yet multiple heart stopping times. Tank makers came at 10am but realised it can't fit properly. They went back rectify immediately and came back by 2pm with the amended stuffpost-600-13708519628356_thumb.jpg
