    DIY - 55/65 Gallon Tank stand

    Very nice.....I know many that wish they could easily open the end of their stand for sump installation. Couple of questions/comments, more for the benefit of others planing to build their own stand: Did you leave the 2 vertical 2x's (called cripples or jacks) shown that don't have any...

    DIY Hood Fans

    Chris I did this as well. 3 fans to one adapter. Pretty cheap but a little on the noisy side. Then I took it a step further and plug them into a Ranco Temp Controller. I don't recall if I wired the fans in series or parallel or if it even mattered. You may want to expand on that.

    PH Gone Haywire

    I'm glad you found the actual culprit causing the bad readings. I had a similar problem that was caused by a bad workhourse ballast. Unfortunately, I started to try to bring the PH up with buffers which in turn raised the Alk so high that a bunch of stuff melted right before my eyes. Stupid...

    MRC skimmer

    I know Marcelo won my MRC-2R (I say mine because I was supposed to win it) at the Christmas party. And I believe Phyl has one also. I know John was having a little trouble dialing it in but says's it a mud making monster now. How's ETSS taking the rejection?

    Tank close to overflowing

    When the air can't escape from the plumbing, it will hold back the water until there is enough water weight to over come the lock. It's like taking a cup turning it upside down and pushing it straight down into the water, brim first. No water will enter the cup. Now put a small hole in the...

    Expert advise on acrylic?

    I use weldon 3 for regular joints, weldon 4 for water tight structural joints, and weldon 16 for uh-oh's. You can order it online at Tap Plastics. Don't forget to get a couple applicators.

    Expert advise on acrylic?

    You can get 1/4" for around $5 /sf at Home Depot. 1/8" for alot less. For what your describing, the Home Depot acrylic would be fine. There are alot of sumps, including the one's I've built that are made out of Home Depot Acrylic. When you get to the custom tank, I would recommend going to a...
