Tank is pending to Raffle King. Pretty much a done deal unless he changes his mind by Friday. ;)

John, I think your best option might be dosing. Preferably using a dosing pump on a timer as opposed to manually dosing by hand to keep it steadier throughout the day. Running the fuge light for a longer period may help some too. I don't think I would go 24/7 though because some say the macro...

Very beautiful tank you got there Kat! Nice work. :encouragement:

Haha, yea we caught lots of chicken too! And I prefer the sport of the hand lines too. We used hand lines with net, 2-door box traps, triangle traps (look like a pyramid with 4 triangular sides instead of a normal box shape) and we also had a few that were sort of like a mesh net with...

Funny to see this thread. The wife and I just went crabbing yesterday with my Mom, brother, and his family. We were no where near LBI, in fact, we were on the other side of NJ at a place called Matt's Landing. My brother said he had a "spot" that was great for crabbing, so we followed him...

I've been meaning to get up there and check that place out. Hope I can make this one!

Looking great Sal! I have a roll of plastic hanger strips with holes punched in them that you could use as a support for the drain piping. What I do is just screw in a hook in the top of the stand, hook one end of the strip to it, wrap it around the pipe once, then back up and hook the other...

First I've heard of it (no kidding) and it does look interesting to me too. I also believe this will have the same issues as the Seneye did with the expensive "replacement" maintenance costs associated with it. So, for a typical hobbyist, this likely won't be an economical choice. However...

Jose, what kind of stands did you have on yours? Was it the kind that slides in a track, and screws hold them in place? If so, I might have a set for you. I know I bought a set a while ago from PA or something and it didn't fit my model. I'll take a look in the garage this weekend to see if...

Looks nice. Will have to try to get down there one weekend to check it out in person. Oh, and welcome to the club!

At least I didn't read anything about you burning the slab of cow! You did something right Paul! :applause:

While the shield blocking incident may have brought back fond memories of when you were in the Renaissance period Paul :glee:, I'm glad that you and the family (and the fish tank) are all OK. Who knows what might have happened if that all took place when you weren't around? Might have burned...

Come on gang! Help me clean out my garage. Price drop to $75 OBO for tank and canopy. That's a RR tank plus custom canopy for $1 per gallon. Even PETCO can't beat that! :encouragement:

Bump - Tank and Canopy still for sale. Any reasonable offer accepted. I need the room in the garage! :encouragement:

Great meeting Matt! It was nice to catch up with the old gang again and talk reef. I've been away for a while and I didn't realize how much I missed that. It was a small but cozy group this month and everything from the conversation to the food to the raffles was fantastic! Really glad I...

I was going to mention you don't need the check valve also... and Kevin explained it perfectly. Instead, I would just put your two unions around the gate valve. You may need to replace or clean that and/or your return pump on occasion, so having the ability to remove both of those without...

Nice work there Earl! I was wondering if that was gonna explode on you or something, LOL. Kinda looked like a giant skimmer in action. Thanks for posting the vid.

I told him that too. As long as it's strictly a return pump, the DC4000 should be good. Sal, with all the stuff you now realize you need to spend money on... aren't you glad we talked you out of the fancy expensive one? That budget you were planning on spending on the tank alone can now be...

Update: - Brute is going to Raffle King. - Stand and sump were sold yesterday All that remains for sale now is the tank and canopy. That said, new price for the tank/canopy combo is $100 OBO.

Was nice meeting you yesterday Sal. Looking forward to following your build thread and as I said, let me know if you need a hand with anything.
