Update on the 180. Stand finished. Also aquascape not done, the rocks are just set in temporarily for now.

So I take it that the mrc will be skimming every tank in the loop as we talked about a few posts ago except for the 180 and frag tank ?

Yea, so far it's skimming 5 fish tanks & 2 coral tanks. The other 2 large frag tanks & the 180 have their own systems & skimmers. I will be adding more tanks to the loop the mrc is on later though
