Im a little late here but I figured i'd chime in... Trops a great place to go to if selection is what your looking for but as mentioned above they are a tad bit on the expensive side... Everytime I have been there however they always have every fish that im looking for... Overall I give it a...
Thanks for the honesty John... Im gonna take your word for it and pass up on the RC write up... I would deff like to learn more about these group buys and speaking to vendors... Obviously there is a lot about this forum I have to learn...

I did some searching but I havent found exactly what I am looking for... Im looking for a step by step instruction on how to make a Calc reactor out of PVC.... I understand that the size is pretty much up to me but I would be looking to build one that could handle 140 gallon water volume...
Im definitely feeling the color scheme you guys have going... Keep up the pics as you continue to put it all together.... I really wanna see how it looks to have a white stand with the tank full..

Re: Here's my now 375 (was 120) by Bax
Cool setup... I have a 120 and am looking to do something around the size of a 375 in the future.... Funny how no matter how big you go you always end up wanting to go bigger...
Brian
Ya if you dont mind id like to see some equipment shots as well... plumbing sump size etc.. I also have a 120 so I am just wondering how other people are running their setups...

Never tried SeaChem products before but I would be interested in seeing how they work out for you... Keep us updated a couple months down the line when you develop an opinion of how they work...
Brian
Looks pretty cool... Id would be nice if somehow they could allow you to watch live feeds instead of looking at satellite photos that are 2 years old like Google Earth....
Red Sea Pro Reef Crystals is a good way to go... Reasonably cheaper than Tropic Marine and keeps all of your levels well in check if used properly. However I have found that using the 1/2 cup of salt per gallon mentioned on the bucket puts the salinity slightly high around 1.028... After making...
I believe it takes a couple weeks to start really making a difference... As mentioned above i'd keep doing water changes until your testing comes back ok.... Anyone try putting phosban in the oven to dry it out and use it again??
Brian
Looking to do one of these myself to... I agree on the spending way to much on the hobby so I figure ill try to save some money myself... I like your design.. Any chance you could post a brief step by step write up on how you built it... Also Thanks to JimROTH for the link to the clear tubing...
Ya I would deff do it yourself.. Its very easy to reseal it... As mentioned above just pull out all the silicone and clean it up with vinegar or alcohol ( Dont forget to rinse real good before using) and take your time and run some real nice beads at all the joints... I resealed a 29 gallon for...
I have my 120 with 40 gallon breeder up against the wall and sometimes when I walk by it I do feel so creaking... I would deffinitely be careful... If it is possible, as mentioned above, I would deff try to get the tank positioned up against a wall just to be safe...

Wow those are gorgeous... I would agree that the Zoa's will undoubtedly take over both rocks... I wish you would name the place you getting these from but I understand why your not :P If I found a hot spot I wouldnt want people hitting up my supply either...
Congrats on the 2 beautiful new...
I believe it to be fire and ice as well... Don't you love when you get a little hitch hiker thats not a nuissance like aptasia etc... Hopefully he will grow many more polyps and that one little hitch hiker will give u a rock full of beautiful Zoo's...

I am not certain but I believe all of those corals feed off of photosynthesis... However I do have all of these corals in my reef and I feed frozen mysis, plankton cubes, and krill.... I also add an occasional dose of Kent Marine Microvert. If you do decide to go with a product like microvert...
