Hmm very nice build..ignore the bong comment. Been reading from the beginning

Cool. What did they build for you? Was it really accurate? Reasonably priced?

So I am collecting tanks. Got a 20 long for the qt tank, a 20*20*10 for the frag tank. A 64*28*18 for the sump. I'm planning to buy the 300 galling next week. I'd like to get a couple metal stands made. Anyone work with someone good in NJ for a reasonable price? Don't mind driving a Bit. I...

So I am talking to my acrylic guy to get some 1/2" cut for a custom sump. Dam acrylic is expensive these days so I dont want to mess up. The stand I am building is 72L 36D X 40H. This is for a 72x36x27 (300g) tank. I want to maximize the sump within reason. I am planning on a 64" L x...

I'm looking at both but an in sump is just easier.. The skimmer will have its own pump. Looking at a reef octopus 5000 in-sump. The pump will be right under the DT in the stand. I was looking at the reeflo. They seem like nice pumps. I like they have adjustable flow rates. Not that I would...

So I am starting to buy everything for a 300 reef tank. 72x36x27 It will have a 125 gallon sump. The tank is a marineland 300 deep with 2 rear corner overflows. I believe the pipes are 1 1/4" I've seen some say they can get 600 to 1600 gph depending on what they do. What would be a...

Anyone have an extra they dont need? I need one for a sump. It doesnt need to be nice or fancy.. just has to hold water. Glass or Acrylic is fine.

Cool..so if I have lids on them.. no worry about evap?

Well I started to pull the trigger on my 300g reef. I decided to start with the water and salt.. Since thats the foundation. I got 3x 55 gallon plastic drums last night and ordered everything today to make a complete RODI AWC and ATO system. I have a pump on the two salt water tanks to...

Thanks Phil and George for the advice. Lots to think about.

The stand will be custom. And the entire setup is in the basement:-)

So I need to figure out a bunch of firsts.. I will be buying a 72x36x27 300 gallons shortly. How big of a sump should I use? I know bigger is better buts what is reasonable and not overkill? It will be in the stand. Recommendation on the dimensions of the tank? Interior dimensions of the...

Yea I've thinking about it. 3k total is a lot more palitable then 5k to get strarted I'm going to go with the 300 gallon marineland.

The club is a great idea and I'll definity check it out and join. I hope my tank is up And running and ready for coral by the time the swap occurs.

So I visited 4 lfs's today.. Big variation in quality of live stock, variety, quanity, and cost. Who do NJersians feel is the top 3 places to go? I dont mind spending a little extra for quality but I dont like wasting money. Are any of the internet places known to be good?

So I've been shopping for a tank. I got quotes for a 72x30x29 (271 gallons) starfire glass with an external coast to coast overflow from several internet vendors, one was 2975 from glass cages and 3765 from Reef Savy. Today I toke a tour of 4 LFS's that do saltwater ending up the tour at...

Thansk! I'll give them a call. Are reefsavvy and miracles big tank builders? I gotten quotes from Glasscages and one other I forget.

Absolutely! Thanks for letting me come by. I hope to have a tank ordered by next week. Very excited!

I read your build thread btw. Very nice tank. I'd love to check it out in Person at some point.

Ohh very nice. Just 1 inch to big for my basement door. And I don't want an internal overflow. I want to have a Coast to coast. Thanks for the link! Mike
