Got a lot done today. I'm using a six gallon sterilite container for an ATO reservoir and a 5.5 gallon Petco for my kalk reservoir. I built a "stand" for the kalk res out of 1/2" plywood. BRS doser hooked up to the kalk res. I'm not dosing yet, I have to get the lid for the res still...

Mine came on a tiny rock and as it grew it attached itself to two decent sized rocks. Mine actually dropped a couple buds about a year ago. I found two of them and grew them out a bit before giving them to my LFS.

Thanks Anthony! He is about a foot in diameter. He was touching both sides(front and back) of my 55g. He's got a couple inches on either side now. I hope that gives him a couple more years... I don't want to frag him. First, just because I love his shape and wouldn't want to compromise that...

Thank you. The overflow is every bit of dead silent. Now if I can quiet down my return pump. I've had that toadstool for about three years. He is part of the reason for the bigger tank. No cycle or "magic" juice. The transfer took about two hours. Everything out and everything back in. It was a...

Thank you for the ideas, I ended up just zip-tying it to the top of the emergency elbow. So I got her up and running and aquascaped. The water is a bit cloudy from moving everything around.

Transfer Success....well sorta I started rinsing my sand in a bucket, about 4" in a HD bucket, and it took about ten fills and dumps for the water to run clear. I then dumped the rest of the 40 lb. bag into a pillow case. I blasted the sand while digging the sprayer deep into the sand until it...

Sounds good, thanks guys and girls. John, I'll keep that in mind!

Glad to see you signed up, Justin!

What is the right way to handle this situation: I post a for sale thread. Someone(A) posts PM'd in the thread but another interested party(B) has already PM'd me. Does person A or B have first dibs?

I don't have self control, my wife has husband control!

My plan was to go up there with $100. I already have $45 spent and I haven't even looked at a coral. Time for a new budget

The down turned elbow to the far left is a siphon drain. Yes, the upturned elbow is the emergency. The other down turned elbow is an open channel(There is an airline tapped into the top of the standpipe). The idea is that the siphon is the main drain. I have a gate valve on that line to fine...

Today I got a majority of the plumbing glued into place. All threads are taped with heavy duty teflon tape(pink). I also got some really cool toys in the mail today.

Wow! Thanks for sharing.

Not today, I just spent $17 on a 5.5g.....
