So I pulled of my molding and it appears that I'd have just over 34 inches if I'd pull out out the door and frame. :thumbup: Then I turned around and and realized the passageway to the hall across from the basement stairs looked a little narrow. Pulled out the tape measure and it was only 30...

Anthony is going to need a uhaul to get his winnings home this year. :-)

Thanks Steve, I'm going to pull the molding off and see what I have to work with. I would much easier if I could just have the movers take care of of it and not have to worry about modifying the stand. I'm gonna go back through your build thread to see if you indicated whether it was glued on. :-)

Hmm I just looked back at the measurements that you gave me at its just under 34 inches with the plywood and foam board. Without pulling my molding off I'm guessing I'd get to just over 34 inches in clearance if I took disabled the frame. Any further and I'd be cutting into drywall. From there...

Thanks for the offers to help guys. I'll definitely need it when the time comes. I can get 4 suction cups through DVRC and I have a Taylor Rental around the corner from me. I'll give them a call. Maybe ill get lucky. Building a temporary stand isn't something that I had thought about. Its...

Spotter offered me a great deal on his 315 gallon tank that I couldn’t pass up. Dance I’m hiring a moving company to get it from his house to my basement in a couple of weeks. The only hang up is the steel stand won’t fit through my doorway. I’m going to have someone shorten the stand for me...

Thanks Steve Do you still have that bottle of Scotch from when the movers finagled it into your basement? I'll be going through it twice and am not sure that I'll be able to watch either time lol. Speaking of the movers have you given any thought as to when you'd like it out? I can schedule...

Nice power move enlisting your son's support! Its a tough call whether to go for that extra depth or length. I could see 48 inches opening up some great aquascape opportunities but being tricky to reach to the back unless it is open on the front and back. Are you planning on building a home...

Looks great Dan!

I think I just joined the same one.

Go into your tablet setting settings. Under Apps find tapatalk hd and clear the cache and data. I've had some quirks with it in the past and these has seemed to resolve it. Just warned that you'll have to log into all the forums again.

I'm using tapatalk hd and it shows up for me.

Those guys at creekside are good. I've gotten glass from them for my past two sumps.

It sounds like you are good to go. If you are like me there will probably be a trip or two or three to Lowes to get those little things that slipped your mind. :) I'd probably start making extra water as soon as you use what you have just in case you need to make a water change. I admit that I...

Full spectrum are wasted on you lol. I like the Apollos but the lights but the Reef breeders have me interested. I need to find someone down that has them so I can see them in person.

How does the color compare with the apollos? Some people report that they have a little bit of a pinkish hue.

I'm not asking again lol. It's just going to appear in the basement one day looking like an indoor pool!

Mike was that a tek or ATI dimmable fixture that you had over your frag tank? What you said about having a different kind of lighting between your display and frag tanks has me leaning towards t5s. Part of me still thinks that I should do a hybrid system like on my main tank. For the odd...

Thanks John The light will be mounted relatively close to the top of the tank. I was kind of concerned that a 6 bulb may be too much but I guess that's what switches are for. I'd go leds but there seem to be too many changes still going on to invest much money in them.

I picked up a Deep Blue 45 gallon frag tank yesterday. It measures 48"L X 18" W X 12" D. I am trying to decide on lighting and am leaning towards T5's. Will a 48" 4 bulb fixture be sufficient for SPS or should I be looking for a 6 bulb light?
