    Oh no he didn't, oh yes he did 180 gal build

    It may work if the rock is thick enough, you must go slow and steady and use the FORCE (DO NOT USE FORCE). I honestly cracked a few rocks before I got it down. Literally just go slow and steady, let the drill do its thing. Oh and do it outside, I got a sandstorm and Darude wasn't on my pandora.

    Thank you, and it is kind of simple, but took a bit of time to make. The stack on the left I used a large drill bit and some 1/2" pvc, placed the pipe through and then stacked the rocks. I used some putty to hold it all together. That left pillar is no more, I cut it in half and think it looks...

    Thanks James, I'm going to hold off on buying anything until my QT is running. I kind of want to buy an apex jr to control the heaters in it :x.

    Game Changer Crossflow Water Movement Device Coming out from Maxspect.

    Does anyone know if it is possible to place the gyre internally on my overflow on a pennisula tank? The idea is I'd place it right on the flat overflow vertically, but I'm unsure if the magnets that normally would go on the outside glass are able to be submersed. Hope this makes sense.

    New stand and tank transferred over. Also replaced the maxijets with the hydro pumps like Jr recommended. SO MUCH QUIETER!!!! I need a CUC, something for the aptasia, and then maybe add some more fish / coral.

    Brando's 28g JBJ Nano Cube LED PRO

    I'm not skilled, but for the $ it seems like a good deal. I could always add L brackets to it to secure it more. HockeyNut can build me a stand, but it is double the price of the one you linked. I might stop by petsmart and see if they have one already built I can toss around. Any wobbles or...

    WTB: stand to support 28 gallon JBJ Led Pro

    I am looking for an alternative stand to my current JBJ 28g Pro one. I was going to build my own, but would like something slightly nicer than I am capable of finishing since it'll be in my bedroom. The dimensions of the tank are 18" x 22" x 22" Height doesn't really matter for the stand as...

    I was debating on selling my nano and getting out of the hobby completely, but decided to keep it for the time being. Part of my annoyance with the nano is the hum of the maxijets. I ordered 2 of the Hydor Pico pumps. JR how did you install the pumps? I'm having trouble with the tubing bending...
