Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Thanks Ric, I figured that's what you were going for. :D
I hope to get some paint on the tank today. Picked up another can of black last week sinice I'm not too sure if I want to use the deep blue (royal blue) that I was originally going to paint the tank. ???
It is almost a year that I've had this tank and it's about time I get it wet!

Nov. 2010 I installed a Glass-Holes 700 Overflow and returns:
2x 3/4" returns are in & 700 Glass-holes overflow is in:
Finished:
Well I priced it out and a schedule 80 manifold was going to be...
That's 6' / 3, tank is 24" tall x 2 returns is 4' and sump to manifold (height of stand) is 2'. And going backwards tank + stand = 4' of drain. There I going doing math again like the meeting. :D I'll PM and we can discuss further.
I'm just getting 6' for the returns and 4' for the drain. The ball valves and fittings I'm getting from BRS, would be nice to get them from the PA group buy, but I can't wait that long. ;)
The race is on!!! I am going to pickup my pump tomorrow. :D
HD doesn't sell flex PVC. I'm actually about to place an order for ultra flexible PVC from M-D.com along with a SCWD and a check valve/union. Wanna get in on the order? We should get free shipping on the combined order.
Can't wait to see them in the main display when their true colors will come out! :) The the frag system was a little on the blue side.
They did look happy and healthy, good luck with them!
If you don't have an Eco-Smart controller, then my post about the LED "rainbow" makes no sence to you. You just have a single color changing LED right?
I'm running lagoon mode @ 80% in the 40B and lagoon @ 50% in the 20 long. Every so often I will switch them over to nutrient export mode and let that run for a few hours.
The blue LED "rainbow" flickers? Or the knob flickers? Depending on the setting the lights do dim down. You can change how long before it dims. Or if your in short pulse "blue mode" to light will move fast across the "rainbow".
It would be pointless to tie it down outside, you can get regular clownfish balloons for that. I would totally fly this around in the expo area. :D Inside you don't have to worry about a gust of wind taking it to neverland.
I was one of those "no way I'm paying that for a powerhead" but when I broke down and got mine, I joined the "these things rock" fan club about a minute after it was in the tank. :D
I'm actually surprised you waited this long to play with them. ;) I had mine wet 5 minutes after I got home with...
It's not really local to you but, TB Aquatics probably has the best MJ prices around when compared to prices I've seen around in all LFS. What MJ are you looking for?
It's a app for your phone that makes reading and replying to post easier and faster than trying to view the full site on a phone. It's like cliff's notes of the board on your phone and it works on other forums as well.
Welcome! I am also close to all those stores so we are around the same area.
From the sound of it, you want something like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0036ITD9M/ref=aw_d_iv_pet-supplies?is=l
The tanks that have the HQI inside the hood and 2" off the water need a chiller or you will...
Bax is Baxreefs, shoot him a PM. I know when I got my 30 the 55s were not that popular. I'm not sure if there are a few spares at another members house in Bridgewater. Shoot him a message and see what he says.
