    55 to 75 upgrade

    I got the entire box siliconed in today. I did a very sloppy job. I'll take a razor blade to it when it's dry to clean it up a bit.

    55 to 75 upgrade

    I agree. I'm going to silicone the entire box into place today. I'll let it cure for a week. Hopefully I'll be transferring the reef next Sunday!

    Powerhead questions

    I have nothing against Jaebo, I just think it's too soon for me to spend money on them. Plus I just placed my order for two mp10'sDance

    Powerhead questions

    I'm thinking of replacing my JBJ wavemaker and Koralia powerheads for my new build. It's a 75 gallon LPS/softie with a 2" SB. I love the fact that Vortechs do not have wires in the tank. Sooo, would 2 MP10's work?

    Chugging Along I got the bottom piece of the overflow box siliconed into place today. This is what I'm using I'm using all cutting edge technology to level the bottom of the overflow box. I'm not good at siliconing but I think it will look good after I clean it up a bit.

    Looking to borrow a rubbermaid tub

    I'll be transferring my reef from a 55 to a 75 sometime in the next couple weeks. Does anyone have a rubbermaid tub I could borrow for a day or so? Looking for something like this...

    Canopy Plans This is my plan for the canopy. The canopy will be two separate pieces. The front and top will be removable for water changes and such. This is the structure or skeleton of the canopy which will hold the lights. The bottom "shelf" will support the lights and the top "shelf"...

    Thank you sir. I was worried about rusting and the metal possibly wearing down the PVC over time. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll do that.

    I got some plumbing done on the tank today. Everything is dry fit. I need to make a couple of adjustments still.

    I got my 55 gallon from a friend about 4 years ago, for free, on the condition I make it a SW aquarium. I didn't know what a coral was at the time, so I said sure, how hard can it be..It came with a canister filter and a dual T8s. I promptly filled it up and start stocking fish and coral like...

    Earl's 55g mixed reef

    Thank you! I'm actually getting ready to transfer everything to a 75 gallon. I could probably trim the toad but I don't want to, not sure I have the skills either. The 75 will hopefully buy me another couple years before he outgrows that.

    Questions on drilling a tank

    I am planning on drilling a tank soon. I am going to use the Beananimal overflow. How far apart do I drill the three drain holes? How much space from the top of the tank do I need as well? I'm using 1" bulkheads.
