    My 280g build....

    The owner of the shop was away for two weeks while this was being built. His guess as well as mine is that they measured the front and back spans out at 72" and then put the 2" tube on the end of that. Its definetely something that I would do as a novice. He apologized several times about it...

    Good news and bad news....... The good news is the stand was delivered today.......This thing is built like a tank (no pun intended :)) The guy laughed at me when I told him to just leave it in my driveway and would carry it into the basement later when I got home from work. I didnt realize...

    Fresh Air Systems for basement fish rooms.....

    My concern is both low ph and humidity. My sump is already in the basement and I have struggled with low ph during the winter and summer. With the renovation of my basement, the fish room will be 24x9 and house over 400 gallons of water between the dt, frag, sump and make up tanks. I'm...

    Fresh Air Systems for basement fish rooms.....

    I've inquired about that but I am told that I need a fan to draw air in and push air out like a bathroom exhaust fan.

    My 280g build....

    since this is ultimately going to be my frag tank I didn't want to move any sand. I was concerned more about a biological need to move it. My sump/fuge has sand in there so hopefully between the rock and the sand in there I should be ok. I really hated the I sand I used for this...

    My 280g build....

    Too funny on both comments.....I've been reading that thread already and have posted a few questions there. Seems like lanthanum chloride or seaklear coupled with patience when cooking the rocks is the answer. Fortunately I'm still about 4-6 weeks away from having the tank ready. So I will...
