Jim, Your post is very timely because I was looking to see what others have done with this rock before putting it into a system. All of this rock will go into a brand new system so does that change anything you suggested above? I was going to put it in a brute with some vinegar and hit it with...

Thanks Darren. I have some minor adjustments and finishing touches to do on the stand and then I can set up the frag tank which I will use as a transition tank for my existing set up. Builders are planning on start right around xmas. Steve

Pukani...... was ready to order another type of dry rock but a good friend suggested I really consider the Pukani rock from BRS. After a few emails with BRS I decided to take my friends advice and ordered 100lbs of Pukani and 30 lbs of the shelf rock they sell. The boxes arrived yesterday and...

Thats one way to get the kids to stop fighting over the candy!

LOL.....not a bad idea!

So my order from premium aquatics and my skimmer came today.....I think after this week I will have to give the UPS driver a very nice tip!!!!! MISC ITEMS SKIMMER The wife wanted to know if I am trying to compensate for anything....

thanks! i will give him a try.

does anyone know where I can find these locally? I've found plenty online but the shipping is more than the tank. Steve

Sorry for your losses Greg. Had something very similar happen to me a few weeks ago and had a kalk overdose because of siphoning. It was all my fault because I moved something and in my mind I said "dont forget to move that back" and sure enough it did. Ive decided not to do tank maintenance...

thanks Jim. I am thinking about adding one more support in the front and the back for added safety. The frag tank is 80 gallons and I am thinking its better to be safe than sorry.

I was bored tonight so I..... Decided to build this for my frag tank..... Considering this is the first time I built a stand, I am pretty pleased with the way it came out. I have a few adjustments to make but I am pretty happy with it.

it was nice meeting you too matt. i was looking for the suction cups online. I think Sunny has the info for the movers that trop uses to deliver tanks. Steve

Some Thanksgiving updates...... So the last few weeks which have included a job change that has me back in NYC again and a change in the tank dimensions and builder have been very crazy. I know C2C would have done a great job but after speaking with a few other members on here, I realized it...

Sloght update..... Picked up my sump from Sunny (MonroeReef) this weekend. All my wife said was, "And the tank is bigger than that????" Dumpster was a no show last week but I am told it will arrive this week for sure. Still havent made my final decision on the skimmer...brand or external vs...

Its going to be on a steel stand but then my contractor thats finishing my basement will continue the wall around the stand and top of the tank. There will be access doors but it will look like its part of the wall. The dumpster arrives next week so I can start taking down the wall in the...

I was using it as well and it definitely bumps your ph but the problem I started to have was as soon as the weather turns a little and more windows are open in my house....it was sending my ph thru the roof.

Thanks Darren. Your skimmer is definitely a beast!!!! I am leaning towards one pump for the skimmer and then another pump to feed the frag and display. My big project coming up next is moving my current system because all of my equipment sits on the other side of the wall that I have pictured...

I currently run an sro1000 and it does a great job. Ill have to look at the xp's again. Definitely an area to save a little money. Steve

Very true and I did think about that but this will be so much more fun!!!!

Thanks Sunny and since I am getting the sump from you.....I was thinking about doing an external skimmer so I dont run into footprint issues. What kind of space is available in there for a skimmer? I have a dart that I am not using right now but I really dont want to drill a 2" hole for a...
