Basement?! BASEMENT?!?! I thought WE had agreed it would stay in the living room. ;) No problem with the ((ahem)) help...It was pretty easy eating pizza and drinking beer. I enjoy these tank moves more and more!

I would draw water for the skimmer out of the first chamber. The fuge should be in the middle chamber, the skimmer can dump into that if possible. As far as the MR2 goes, it can be used either in sump or out of the sump, but to get the best performance out of it I would use an external pump. I...

Welcome, Mark! You will get lots of good advice here! Try and make it to a meeting. They are a LOT of fun, and a great learning experience. You can grab lots of nice ideas from all the different systems you see.

Welcome, Obi! The best advice I can give (which I still have trouble following!) is have patience. Nothing good comes fast in this hobby. Good luck with the new tank!

I spread it out over 3 days. Which was really still too fast, but I wanted results and I wanted them NOW! If you knew my tank situation, you would understand. I can say that my zoo's didn't like it at all. My yellow scroll coral isn't happy either. My toadstool leather turned a wicked...

Dave, I'm pretty sure you can only fire 4 T5's off of the 660 no matter what the wattage of the bulbs are. Overdriving means exactly that, it will overdrive the output of the bulb. I know my 54 watt T5's are overdriven to about 80 watts on an Ice Cap 660.

It's the truth! I just did it in my tank. It was COVERED in Bryopsis. I upped my Magnesium to 1500 and 4 days later my tank was almost completely clear of it. It was pretty amazing to see...I wish I would have taken some before and after photo's. ::)

Before you drill it, do you know if the glass is tempered? Better to be safe than sorry! :)

Bill, I'll probably meet you @ your house. Let me know what time you would like me there.

The first picture, *might* be Bryopsis...although I could be wrong, I don't know what kind of snail that is in the second pic...the third picture looks like a mysis shrimp, the last looks like a spaghetti worm. Those are my best guesses!

Damn, with all those people showing up, I just may sit IN the tank and drink a beer while being carried like a king! ;D

Notes are now posted HERE

Thanks Bax! We all had a nice time today. Good food and plenty of beer! ;D Can't wait to see the big tank up and running! (notes to follow)

Have you read the reviews for that pump? A few people state that it only lasts about a year before it dies. If they are stainless steel screws and submersed, they shouldn't rust. Mag-Drive pumps have metal screws and I've never had them rust.

Bill, I can bring them here for you. Don't know what time I'll be getting home though..and you surely don't want them in my system right now!

Are you guys sure you can use vinegar or muriatic acid on acrylic? I would think that you couldn't, it may cause crazing.

9 Cups? Hmmm...I add 20 cups (from a measuring cup) to get close to 1.025. Now I'm worried.

I do the same as Phyl, I know how many cups it takes to make a 55g drum and then make adjustments if need be.

I did this on my old 120. You can also make a little shelf on the back of the stand and put the pump on there. I had a wooden stand, so it was pretty easy to make something to hold the pump.
