I was looking at making a sump......which I already have everything except tubing...bulkheads....and overflow box. Is the Tom Aquatics Pro Series Surface Skimmer Overflow Box with Aqua Lifter a good skimmer?

cool project...i like the idea of puttng some corals on it though ....im anal about seeing mechanics in the display....that bright white pvc would drive me nuts......i don't even like looking at the powerheads in my tank...........lol , Boss

i'm thinking about using ABS on the inside instead of PVC but i don't know if the ABS will be "reef safe"...

no... ABS piping... it looks like black PVC but it's usually used in sewage and other drains that don't need to be under pressure...

man... i know i'm mexican and you always find me at home depot... but everyone should know the difference between ABS and PVC... sheeesh...
