KK folks, the biggie is broken down.
Selling tank, stand, and sump.
Tank
I'm 3rd owner of the tank, Joe (Horseplay) was the original
120g - 4x2x2 with custom, low iron, 1/2" glass
Center rear overflow and return
There are some small scratches on glass, can not be seen if filled and clean, can...
Trying to find some mounts for it now. Want this tank super low profile and tight. If I cant get leg mounts I may have to fabricate something or just go with a led panel (Razor X series or maybe the new Kessil depending on rewiews).
And, also, I dropped a line to a few manufacturers regarding...
Watching the build. Stand directions are universally terrible. Just got my 30g IM yesterday and the wrong instructions were in the box. Calling customer service ked to confusion as they we're unsure if there even were instructions for the new stands. They ended up sending me a pdf of...
Damn, this is a shame.
Seen that stand, it is unbelievable, almost overshadows the tank on top of it - solid, beautiful woods, built underneath for needs of a reefer.
If you have or are getting a tank that this stand would suit, get this! Would easily be $2,000+ retail.
If I had the space I'd...
Go to Amazon and buy a small micro ice cube tray for a couple bucks.

And get a small $20 food processor from Amazon as well...
Hi Bob,
Agree wholeheartedly. Only problem is that when the engineer I bought the house off of designed the place, he hated traditional windows. THeres not a single window in the joint that falls within regular style or dimensions. Plus they all open outwards, so I cant even put a portable in.
I know there are a number of Chinese black box lights out there that do well.
Anyone hear anything about the Chinese chillers? They're running about 1/4 of the price, which means I'd usually stay away, but wondering if there are any that end up being worthwhile.
Thanks again J. Still have LED stuff in my head and was worried that 4 bulbs would burn out coral. Gotta get my head around fact that PAR isn't a major factor in T5.
Bot, that was my intial thought with the Hydras, but I'm going to try running with T5s for a bit as I've never gone full T5. Plus...
Tank came in, much smaller than expected.
36' long, 12" high, only 10" width. I think I may be able to get by with 2 bulbs pretty easily.
Thoughts? Is 4 still better even in a small are like that?
Just curious to see how everyone is. Its usuallu about now Carla and I are having the summer bash and catching up with folks.
Us, we're good. Carla had the CoVid early on and was in hospital for a few days, but the rest of us were spared or didn't show any symptoms.
Carla is back in work now...

Heads up...
I'll soon MAYBE, be posting 2x 3/4" sea swirls with DC pump.
Don't want to give these up but don't think they'll fit in the new system.
Had these made just under 2 years ago, will...
Thanks all for the help and advice, especially jgraz, he wins an internet.
So, you'd think a 4 bulb, 36"tank mount T5 would be easily found.
In reality there's only one, and its taped to the back of the jackelope in BIgfoot's pocket.
Eventually found this, can go 4 or 6 bulb. I'm thinking 6...
Cool deal, thanks for the info.
Never went T5, might be interesting.
I'll look into this...
But, being brand new to fiull T5, some questions if anyone has the time.
1. Tank is 35.5"L x 14"W (13" depth) and will be mixed reef with sps center and high.
I'm assuming a 4 bulb T5 unit at 36" length...
