Two Tanks Up, One More To Go!!

So as some of you might remember I had my 25 from

to here:

and now I moved it out of that stand because it was too big to be used as a sump in that small of a cabinet (which was the result of miscalculations when measuring) last night:

Two down, well techincally up, and one more to go, which is the 65 in the middle! My room is going to be almost like an LFS, lol.
I haven't figured out
- what size sump to get
- if I should get the Red Sea Protein Skimmer
- and what Mag I should get, I've heard I should get a 9, 3, or 5. If any of you have good advice with regard to which type of Mag I should get that would really help the tank build move along a lot faster!

I'll definately have pictures of my menagerie when it's done!

No comments?! :( I though someone would be interested.

Looks like fun. I would fit the largest sump that still allows space to move and work on it.

Look into the octopus skimmer line for a good entry level skimmer.

A mag 5 would be a good size return pump.

I actually think the tank inside the stand was kind of cool looking - though it would be impossible to maintain once another tank was on the stand.

The tank underneath would be impossible to perform maintnece on - I couldn't fit my hand underneath the stand's top! I'm most likely going to get a 15 gallon underneath the stand for my sump.
