    So today was the nightmare sump pickup day. My son Zach and I drove to Delaware to pick up the sump I have been taking about. The 120g Acrylic tank. Had rope. blankets, everything we thought we needed. Arrived at the store...below: After checking out the tank and loading it on the Jeep...

    HELP save a tank and a memory.....

    Sorry for your loss, may I suggest you take some key smaller components that are shippable for the memory aspect and donate the larger stuff to some one in need (like a child), in your fathers memory...

    So what is different in these two skimmers besides price and over all shape? They both have same pump and ratings. http://seaaquatics.com/collections/skimmers/products/bubble-magus-bm-220a-protein-skimmer http://seaaquatics.com/collections/skimmers/products/bubble-magus-bm-180ex

    Aquarium deal I found

    In my never ending search for aquarium stuff I found this gem. It's in North Jersey. If I had seen it before my 180 purchase, I would be temped to jump on it. With that said I thought I'd share it with the members. Who knows, it could even be a member. I have no affiliation to this seller and...

    I figured I'd eventually get some type of controller, but wanted to wait till I was up and running and had a better idea what I really wanted. Do you subscribe to the two smaller heaters vs the larger? Any brands that are highly reliable? I have read about heater failures and can't believe...

    I joined the BRS group buy that starts tomorrow and thought it might be a good idea to get some smaller items. I was thinking heaters. So I understand two smaller heaters are better that one larger one in case one malfunctions. I remember they had bi-metal connections that can stick. So do...

    Here is my home office. I just rearranged the layout to accommodate the tank. It's going to be tight but will work. Now if someone would only buy my piano, I can go into the living room with a bigger tank...still need to paint the wall and add a GFI receptacle.

    More sump pictures: Going to try to pick it up tomorrow and tie it down to the top of my Jeep. Should be an interesting ride... :) Scratches are bad, but no a biggy for being a sump.

    The 180 is 72X24X24 I'm going to see if I can tie down that 120g to the top of my Jeep. And it will be a basement sump. I'll also have to put up some basement pictures.

    I went through the first 10 pages. Some amazing stuff...Do to the size of the Brute, if I go in that direction. I will have it shipped. Still trying to decide.

    I have tons of room. The tank has lots of nasty scratches and the back of it even has a built in wet/dry filter. (that I probably wouldn't use.) The scratches don't really matter. I was hoping I could make it a sump, refug and frag tank all in one, since its 6ft long. The visuals of the sump...

    Ok...I see I can save a couple of hundred on the 100 gallon brute. Its not as sexy as a tank, but very cost effective. As always I have questions: 1, Are these food ie reef safe. I found food grade 32 gallon Brutes for my RO/DI, but didn't notice any reference to the 100 gallon Brutes. 2. Do...
