    We got hit in a squall in my boat last night

    Sounds like something straight out of a book, terrifying! Glad everyone was OK in the end.

    I'll definitely have to shim it. Latex paint umm that's a good idea. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    As you can see from the floor/wall of the basement in that picture, it's an old house, and finding a leveled area, or a place that was at least even was impossible. So I'm not too thrilled at the quality, just hope its good enough to hold. (I think I'm going to add a supporting column in the...

    That would be super nice! Wonder if anyone in the forum has one.

    I love the way they look, hope I can get to the point where I maintain one alive.

    Got it at Tropiquarium. Decent price, only thing was they don't have it in stock, so it needs to be ordered. Unless you are ok with not having the low iron front glass.

    Haven't searched for one yet, but I'm sure there is. Also, down to 2 skimmers: AquaMaxx ConeS CO-2 Reef Octopus Classic 202-S Any thoughts?

    From what I understand if I have the space to accommodat it, I should aim for bigger skimmer, plus it's not like the skimmer I'm aiming for is that big of a stretch. Also, while I agree with you on the ro/Di, it won't open up new paths for me to work on. While if I get a skimmer I can sink some...

    So I was thinking my next purchase should be the skimmer so I can build the sump with it in mind. I was thinking about the AquaMaxx ConeS CO-2. Not sure if the upgrade to co-3 is worth the $100, being that I think I'm buying a stronger than necessary skimmer as it is. Any suggestions?

    I definitely want to make sure I get a decent skimmer. As I mentioned before I'll be buying these items with the notion I might upgrade in the future. As far as not needing a light at first, it will definitely help me start the process while I wait on cash flow. Thanks everyone

    I understand when buying a skimmer, you should aim for one with the capacity to skim twice the size of your tank. I'm just wondering, should I take the size of the sump into consideration? I'm thinking yes, but I'm not too sure. Also, trying to minimize my down time here, and got me wondering...

    From what I've seen online cutting doesn't seem too bad. I'm sure I'll brake a few incorrectly before I get it right but I'm still willing to try. On an unrelated note, the main tank came with black silicone, and the person who put it together touched the silicone and then the glass leaving a...

    From what I understand I shouldn't use acrylic since it doesn't bind well with the silicone right?

    You are talking about the sheets of glass I still have to mount in, to create the compartments correct ? Sorry not too good with the terminology, yes I'll be doing that myself, I just need to figure out the set up I'll be using and also the dimensions of the skimmer, before I start. ( Actually...

    Baffles on sump would be to slow down rate of water flow through the refugium?
