As I am getting ready to upgrade, I am wondering if it is a good idea to turn the refugium into a temporary hold area for the fish while the tank is replaced. The refugium is a 75 gallon reef ready tank. I am planning to cut it off from the system and run it independently. I will put two Koralia...

This past weekend, I was surveying the plumbing work that needs to be modified to replace my existing 72 gallon with a 180 gallon and I noticed that the tank is parallel to the joists. Bummer. Much to my wife's chagrin, I have to turn the tank perpendicular to the joists. This is going to...

Thanks Bill. I did look at your tale of the tank thread. Do you have the tank drilled in the bottom? I couldn't see where the pipes run in the picture. I will speak to Paul and see what he says and post here when I have more questions. Btw, You have a great looking tank!

I am looking for some ideas for Closed Loop for my 180g. The current plan I have is to use a Oceans Motions 4 way & a sequence dart. I would like to know if there are alternate ways to achieve this. Here are some of the starter questions. 1) I need five holes in the tank. right? Four holes for...

It is on the inside.

This is great! Thank you.

After few setbacks, I may finally be closing in on the 180g upgrade. I have few questions and need your input. My current setup is a 72g bowfront currently plumbed to the basement. The new tank being a dual overflow, I am trying to picture how the dual overflow can be plumbed. Does it get split...

Has anyone tried to remove scratches from a glass tank? Is this even possible? I have two scratches that I want to be removed.

I have the same problem too. Will from AO suggested to extend the lighting period. I did. I use one of those energy saver flood light. The chaeto lasts somewhat longer when the lighting period is extended, but still breaks away after some time. Someone else suggested to use Iron supplement in...

Hi John, Many more happy returns of the day.

;D This is interesting. So what is the story behind "Hot enough to boil a monkey's bum"?

Hi Sam, Speaking about the lights, what kind of actinic lights that you have on your 180? I liked the colors that brought out of your corals. Thanks Arvind.

It was nice meeting you Paul and John. Thanks for having me and showing me the stands that you have made and also for patiently explaining everything. I really appreciate it. Arvind.

It is going to be a 6 ft X 2 ft tank. Pl. do send me the plans for stands or canopies. Too bad that your cabinet doesn't fit in my living room :( Thanks Arvind.

I used to live in Sayreville also, before we moved to Edison. Thank you for the invite. I will certainly stop by and will PM you on it. :)

Thank you guys. These links certainly help.

Does anyone have a plan (measurements, cutting list et al) for building a 6' stand and canopy? I am looking for a plan for building the framing using 2X4 or 2X6. Pl. post here if you have one. Thank you Arvind.

Very Nice! :) Do you have the plans for the stand and the canopy and would you mind sharing it?

That is all I wanted to hear! ;D Thank you all for your responses!

I have been in this hobby for 2 years also. But one difference though is, I have not put 25% of the efforts that you have put in this hobby. You do the math ;D Every now and then I hear from someone who says how great your tank looks in person. Keep it up!
