Hey @BigT I removed one of the socks and put the skimmer back in that overflow area with the magnets inside the second chamber, it fits under the hood nicely. I'll try and upload a pic tonight. 

 

The tanks are made at the same factory as the JBJ 45 so we actually have a lot of proven fitments etc to guide us. 

 

I'm currently playing with 20lbs of Stax to add to the tank and will be changing my sand out when I have the rocks placed how I want. The Bahama Oolite is just too fine and it's getting blown around by my returns and SW-2.
