I'm gonna bet risking lives on anything rollercoaster ish.. should be fine on the spinners or ground level stuff. they added new rides and have been in operation for a while.

I got the same Cam Jsantoli, But with the normal kit lens, i need to pickup the 55-200 and i think i should be set. I dunno tho.

Lol.. I'm @ the NYSE in charge of putting sub-penny halts in place. lol.

Actually Charlie is selling the one in Bayonne. Not on RT22.

Charlie is a great guy. Their Marine section is not very large and neither is their coral selection. Their DRY good prices are hit and miss but generally on the good side. Freshwater tanks is where its at with Pet Shanty. Likewise they tend to carry a lot of the stuff we can get online for...

Re: Devastated. 180 Gallon Custom Tank broke tonight. Before i could get sand in So Feng and I stayed up until around 11:30 last night resealing the last pane of my tank. The back PANE had become separated for a space around 1" or less. near the bottom of the tank. this i realized was caused by...

Re: Devastated. 180 Gallon Custom Tank broke tonight. Before i could get sand in Feng's coming over tonight. I'll light candles and pray....wait..nvm.. i'll break out the vodka and hopefully by this weekend I'll be refilling. I think I want to use REEFCRYSTALS salt this time instead of that...

hehe no Shim. The SHIM was actually supposed to be Silicoe. Basically instead of bracing the tank with the actual WOOD contacting the GLASS feng left a gap 1/8th of an inch. This GAP is supposed to be filled with Silicone and the Glass is Pressed upagainst it on the front and sides. It seals the...

If you look around at some of the custom tank builders out there. They either frame and brace the bottom with 2 panes of glass or they make it like feng does. Buffering and using the stand/frame for the bottom of the glass is an incredibly effective way of releving pressure as well as ensuring...

Re: Devastated. 180 Gallon Custom Tank broke tonight. Before i could get sand in I spoke to Feng last night. I was helping some customers for him with questions while he was helping some one else and we had a drink and smoke after and discussed our options. He put the Silicon on order and he is...

Re: Devastated. 180 Gallon Custom Tank broke tonight. Before i could get sand in The Top is braced in 3 places. Each edge is braced and 1 center brace. I agree that the tank should be freestanding without needing any stand needed to keep to together. I will see what happens this afternoon.

Re: Devastated. 180 Gallon Custom Tank broke tonight. Before i could get sand in I know. I kept telling my self yesterday that God made me go home and be home when that happened. I'm sure tonight Feng will make good. I haven't tested all of my equip but the only things that COULD have got...

Feng and I spoke again this morning regarding the tank. It seems that a reseal might not be necessary but I don't know yet. He told me to stop by tonight to plan the reseal. It seems that the cause of the leak my not be a fault of the tank maker. Basically when the tank was purchased it was in...

The tank maker was FENG of Red Sand Aquariums in Dunellen.

I spoke to the tank maker last night and he's willing to work with me. he will probably Reseal Everything here in my living room. The guy built the 600 gallon tank thats been up for about 7 years in my flickr acct. So I'm confident in his abilities. I will need to inspect the tank during he day...

I found out what happened. The back SEAM at the bottom became seperated. as i was draining and running with buckets. it got to within 1/4 inch and stopped leaking. i pressed the back and bubbles came out where the silicon meets. basically the pressure from the tank was PUSHING the back and sides...
