Emperor Merv,
you're da man, I love that idea, but I'm on a budget. as my wife, lol. I knew you would chime in but I thought you would answer my question on the pressure on the sides/front. Really, I need that info, can you help, anybody?
rev
I probably will replace the trim or have it replaced. I was wondering what is the pressure of the tank water , rock,sand, etc against the wall of the tank? Anybody have a idea?
As for removing the trim, what would I have to do to remove it?

Cool MATT
I was thinking the same thing on the center brace, got to see if it's possible. If not, whatelse can be done? Also, it would be very hard to get the original trim off wouldn't it?
Any other ideas out there?

Hey everyone
just got a 120, at a great price, but with some issues. I don't mind the few scratches, but I'm worried about the center brace which is broke/missing. Is there a way to fix it or replace it. I think I can do it with a piece of acryllic, but need some instruction on how to do it...
GEEZ
Merv and Carlos, you guys sound like Oceanography/Biology majors, LOL. Great info nonetheless. I have a hydrometer, and it's sweet spot is 1.021, I think, I thought was the best level to keep a tank. Now I see I need to go up quite a bit. Guess I've been running things a little low for...
Hey everyone,
got a chance to get a great tank, 125, with stand. But I have issues too, call it paranoia if you like. What would be the effects of it on my newly finished oak floors? I don't want to ruin them by the weight the tank, water, sand, live rock, etc. Plus what would be the effect of...
thanks everyone for your replies, I just finished setting up everything, back to the old way. I like it and I'll just go with what I have. I have a plenum on the bottom, covered with crushed coral and sand, a little modification, that covered with another screened plenum and that covered with...
Hey everyone,
I decided to break down my 90, again, and set it up old skool style. I like the jaubert plenum style tank and never had a problem with it. The way I have it set up right now, just isn't going to get it. For those of you that don't know what that is, it's eggcrate, suspended above...
Ok
what happens if you don't do weekly cleanings? I ask because my tank is set up currently with sand and crushed coral, maybe this weekend I can put the plenums back, had to modify them a little. Was wondering about the effects. Plus, I don't think I will be able to clean every week, so I need...
Your set up sound great,
I'll look into that. Anyone else have any ideas? This would definitely be a great set up. What would you add, take away?
