Thanks guys. Jim thanks for the offer. I may take you up on it. I have a tote full of fittings but for some reason it never has what I need. I started going through it the other night looking for some 1.5" 90 degrees and threaded male/slip female connectors and struck out. I need to swing by...

Ive been knocked off that jetty. Not something I care to repeat.

Hows it working out for you Paul? Im not sure if I mentioned it or not but I was able to slip a piece of schedule 80 pvc on the end of the outlet so that I could direct the flow to the skimmer inlet. I may have just needed to heat up the pvc a little to get it to fit.

Yes Grink has a deposit on it but ill let you know if he changes his mind.

No but I had to mod the door. :) I ended up pulling out the door and the jack studs and it was still a 1/2 too big. Luckily I was just able to cut away some more drywall and it just made it. I installed a new door and thankfully the molding covered up what I cut out.

Steve is that what you had in your cryptic tank 100 pounds?

The one and only. Good eye! Yep it doesn't really sound like much but the pukani rock is extremely porous and light. I originally tried to get 90 lbs in my 120 and it was stuffed. I ended up with around 60 or 70 lbs in the display and it still seems too much. In addition to my sump I'm going...

My current 120 has been up for a little over a year and a half. I think it was finally getting to the point where it was really starting to settle in and do well. Despite that I've had the upgrade bug for a while. A few months ago I mentioned to Spotter that I was looking to jump up to a tank in...

Sale pending to grink. Thanks!

Evidence... Getting a 1/4 ton of glass up the stairs. It took six of us to make it happen. [/IMG] and in its final resting place [/IMG] time to start a build thread.

Im in the process of setting up a new tank and will have my existing tank ready for sale in a month or two. Its reef ready 120 gallon oceanic with a starphire front and black silicone. I'm the second owner and I think it is about 4 years old. Ive had it since november 2011. The original owner...

Well it was certainly interesting to watch. :nevreness: The movers successfully got the 650 pound beast out of Steve's basement and into mine. I can't say enough good things about the movers. They really had their act together. Getting the stand into my basement required a little more...

Door and frame are out. Ive got 33 inches to work with and a little room to spare. The stand measured 33.75 inches minus 1.0 inch for the top. I hope you calibrated your tape measure Steve. :) Ill find out for sure in two days. Come hell or high water that stand will get into my basement!

Let your parameters and coral response tell you what to do after running gfo for a few weeks. Some people run both with good results and for others it isn't needed.

Yep you can run both at the same time. The normal recommendation is to suspend gfo when you first start up biopellets. Just keep an eye on your nitrate levels. I found that when I was running gfo and pellets that my nitrate levels hung around 0.25 ppm while my phosphate was 0.00. Chaeto didn't...

Good timing on this thread. I'm debating how I'm going to light my new tank and am thinking hard about t5s or t5/led combo until leds mature a little more. The problem that I think I may run into is spread. With the tank being 72 X 36 I'm not sure if a 8x80w ati fixture will give me adequate...

Thanks Steve. It's definitely going to be real interesting to see how they get it out. Did they put wood down and then slide it down the stairs to get it down? I wouldn't be as worried if it was the front that needed to be face down. The mover did say that getting it out will be the challenge...

Does the tank comes with the house Steve lol? I keep joking to my wife that with every move we're getting 30 miles closer to my plan of living on the water. The more I think about it I should probably just replace the plywood and foam anyway. That foam will probably get beat up during the...

I think we need to give him an honorary lifetime position to give the rest of us a chance. :)
