hehe I'm away but my Webcam is on SO I can See whats going on now! My Friend checks on it and I have 6 Leakfrogs all over the place. I go home in 3 hours so im not too worried. I have test filled it before. With FW. BUT when you move it onto the stand and from outside to inside and on a dolly...

Rooms all painted Tank in its final spot. Plumbing done, now Its filling with water while I'm at work. I was remoting into my home pc just now to check the progress but the computer was strangely shut off. The computer is in the same room as the tank and im scared the tank broke and flooded the...

Lol I wish I had the space but thanks for the offer. My fiance reads the boards sometimes and she read I was thinking of a FOWLR agressive and she said NO WAY Buster. At least not one that big. I might have to compromise and get maybe a nice little 55 hehe. But alas I need to find sand now...

I'm gonna do a 90 Gallon or 75 Gallon FOWL

what were the dimensions of that 150? You can probably Reseal it and set it up in your basement as a FOWLR Agressive tank. I was thinking of doing that with another tank. I want some violent fish that eat other fish. And maybe like a eel or something like that. Most of the time resealing a pane...

As promised Pics! Also Update: AGA is rush sending me the replacement parts for the kit I purchased. Btw.. does anyone know why Non-Kink Vinyl Hose is so damn expensive? 23 bucks for a 6 footer and I need TWO! !????? Bloody hell I could have plumbed my entire tank for less than the cost of one...

Lights are Hung up. IT was a PAIN in the butt to get it up there. Installing eye hooks into a concrete ceiling is damn near impossible. This was after trying to glue, epoxy, build a L shaped bracket onto the back of the tank, build a PVC light hanging kit and other crap that shall not be named...

Just a few updates before the Pics! I found out the tank is not 125. Its 135. 72" Long 18" Wide 24" High I figured out how to get my sump into the stand. I basically Re-Re-Re enforced the back, replaced the thin 1/4" piece of chip board and installed a full solid legit Piece of 1/2" inch thick...

Lol.. I had a 54 Gal Corner and got a 36" 250 MH w/ 2 65w PC's. I upgraded tanks and got 3 175w MH's with spider Reflectors on a 90 Gallon. I also used 4x PC's over a 90 Gallon. I traded all that stuff for a Current Nova Extreme 8X 54w T-5 setup without the individual SLR reflectors. It just had...

I removed 1 Brace and I'm building the pocket now for the sump. It was suprisingly easy. What I did notice was that the Center Brace and the Offcenter Back Brace were extremely thick along with the rest of the wood. I got my sump inserted in! Now I'm going have to decide how to plumb it. Plumb...

I can also Chisel Away part of the back brace and the front one 1/2" each to reclaim 1" of space which will make my stump snug in the stand.

My Build Thread is here http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1699935 My 30 gallon Breeder won't fit into my stand because these 2 Additional Braces are robbing me of 1 full inch of space. I was wondering if I can remove them. Lunchbuckets stand dosen't have them and seems...

Re: Ricwilli's 210 build I figured, I would respond in your build thread to the question you asked in MY build thread. The Apartment Building I was in were wooden floors laid over concrete. My apartment was on the outside of the building. Definately near a load bearing wall. The tank stand was...

I can't unfortunately I am using a 30 Gallon breeder tank and It will not fit no matter how I twist and turn it. The Fact is that It is 18" wide and the braces for the stand are Fat and Wide. The stand I got is severly overbuilt and I think that How the wood is positioned it takes up some of the...

I Like want to CRY right now!. I stupidly measured incorrectly I think and built a sump that will not fit in my Stand. Its a 30 Gallon Breeder Baffled and ready to be sumpified. I'm so dissapointed. This will really set my build back a good bit while I figure this out. I have been toying with...

How many of you have built your own durso overflows? I'm about to purchase 2 kits of the Adjustable AGA overflow kits for 45 bucks each with bulkheads and everything. This system has to be quiet and those are the quietest ones I have ever used. Unfortunately I sold the ones I had when I sold my...

Got a Nice Reactor Today. Now I need to score a MaxiJet 1200 or build a manifold like Ricwilli to power it.

Re: Ricwilli's 210 build I'm looking for the flex stuff too Ric, For some reason I feel that Aquatic Obsession will be expensive using that stuff. I doubt I would need as much as you do though.

I just saw the Marco Rock sand. It looks FANTASTICALLY small. Its too thin I think. My K4's will probably blow it all around the tank and my fish will choke and die a horrible death (highly unlikely lol.) But, I do like sand and I guess I could examine a few others and see how they work out.

I was worried too JR but after reading this article I am a lot less worried about Silicates. http://www.reefs.org/library/article/r_toonen9.html
