Big thanks to Mike from Reef Specialty

I noticed Reef Specialty is run by Mike (aka Acropora Nut) was local and called him to see if I could pick up a Reeflo 250. He was in my area today so instead he came by and dropped it off, helped me put it together personally - now that is great service!

And since I know the question is coming, here are some pics:

That skimmer is going to crush it! Congrats on the new purchase.

What are the final plans for the tank? In wall, on the corner. . . ?

Looks great...

Never met Mike personally, but have never heard a single bad thing about him....

Looks like you can get a haircut while you look at the tank.

lol...now that is a great idea.

121a - sketchup is incredibly easy for simple stuff like this, check out the 5'x5' build in the large tank forum for some crazy sketchups.
