Welcome @Diogenes7 . I'm in agreement with above statements, but since we don't have this tank on a stand, lets start with the stand. You have a choice of using 1 by lumber, 3/4 ply or dimensional lumber, skinned with whatever floats your boat. (You can also go metal, but I was never a...

What? That's some pretty nice block printing, if I say so myself. I'd actually bet that Paul took mechanical drawing in High School, the way those letters are printed. Since I suffer from the same affliction, I'll take the bet one step further, and state that his script is so bad, he can't...

Can't fool me..........They'll be back!

I am now all LED.....DT and sump. I originally was all T5's, overdriving the bulbs with IceCap ballasts. Still have a bunch of ballasts and maybe 30 bulbs. However, what hurt was the heat (not as bad and Metal Halide) and the yearly bulb changing costs of approximately $130. Have I...

Paul, I don't get what you do with the "mud". If I were to put the "mud" from Raritan Bay in my tank, I'd have brown water????

Welcome @Ariel 90g Reef . How about starting a Tale of the Tank and tell us about your tank (and show us some pictures). Again, Welcome!

Labs are the best! Nice looking dog, Jose.

Sorry to see that Kevin. I recently switched to a Waveline DC6000 that I picked up used from Tommyboy. I still have MAG 9.5's ready to jump in there if and when the Waveline dies. I was actually thinking about picking up a Jebao DC6000 as a backup to the Waveline. Now I'll re-think...

I vote.....go for it. Before you know it the kids will be gone, and then it's just you a Phyl staring at each other! :rolleyes:

John and Phyl are no long active and have broken down their tank.

I have a couple questions.....FYI, the advertised level of Mag in Red Sea Coral Pro salt at 35 PPT is 1350 to 1430 mg/l. 1. What are you using to measure salinity....refractometer, swing arm hydrometer, floating hydrometer, etc? 2. What test kit are you using to measure magnesium?

:dance:WooHoo!

Well, if you consider new, The Hidden Reef (in Levittown, PA) also sells new tanks at cost....they figure they have you hooked for the rest of the gear.

Kevin, what does "Yes" or "No" mean? Make it "220" or "150".....and maybe a "Don't care".

The 220 seems like a pretty good deal....and yes, a simple plug can be used to block off the closed loop bulkheads. You'll just need to provide flow by powerheads/gyre.

This guy is killing me. I wake up this morning to find that he has now excavated the sand from around the the cave opening, actually exposing the pipe. He moved a bunch of the sand into a pile that is being picked up by the MP40.

Tank looks great Kevin. How do you keep the fish from carpet surfing?

I would have guessed it was set up as closed loop at some point. I'd try to avoid check valves....there are ways around them. They will eventually fail.

Looking good Kevin!

He came out! Sorry for the poor quality...under moonlights, slow shutter speed and hand held. He took about 8 to 10 mouth fulls of sand and then darted back into his home. I'm happy! :D
