The finished product

Here is the new skimmer plumbed into my 120 gallon tank.

New Sump

Here is a picture of the new sump and protein skimmer. I took out the two Koralia 3's because it was too much flow for my corals.

New video

Here is a video of my tank as of today. I added two Koralia 3 powerheads for 4,700 GPH of flow, 39.1 times turnover.

Superman

I picked up a vivid Superman Montipora today from SMCOOLER.

New livestock

I finally got rid of my large frag rack. I sold all but three frags. I traded one guy for a large ORA Purple Plasma, it looks awesome! I also got another Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp. I ordered the 30 gallon tank today but it won't be here until next Wednesday, I'm pretty bummed that I have to wait that long. I woke up this morning to find my Deepwater Lobophyllia eating one of my Green Chromis! I think the Chromis died and the waterflow pushed it towards the Lobo which grabbed it and later devoured the fish.

New skimmer

I received the new skimmer today, it's huge! I'm giving it a 24 hour vinegar bath.

Ordered the Vertex IN-180

I placed my order for a new generation II Vertex IN-180 protein skimmer. I read many good reviews for this skimmer and it comes with a 1 year manufacturer warranty. It should be here some time next week!

New Acan's

I performed a 15 gallon water change and traded some SPS frags for seven nice Acanthastrea lordhowensis.
