Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Sorry to hear that - the first thing I would suggest is to speak to a professional - a complete loss of all interests is not a good sign. Pls get help and I hope you come back better and stronger.
Installed the lights in the stand, put in the two EB-8's and added a piece of MDF that will be sprayed white and will be my controller board - I can't believe they charge over $100 for one.
The tank is cleaned, I resealed the front seams and I spray painted the left side panel which will be up against a window.
I built a sub-base for the tank from 2 x 4's so that I could put levelling feet underneath the stand - the floor is my den has a 0.15 degree slope so I want the tank to...
It turns out that I need a little more or this contact paper, so I had to order another roll. I won't use a good portion of the second roll, so if anyone wants to reskin their stand let me know and you can have the remainder.
The stand is finished inside - I've sanded and fixed the gouges on the exterior and I've removed all of the top and bottom trim. I am going to refinish the exterior - pics to come.
Weld-on #3, #4 , #16 or #33 depending on your needs. 3 & 4 are like water and it enters the seam via capillary action and 16 & 33 are much thicker. Go on their site and it explains when to use each.
It is 72" x 27" x 27" - I bought if from a guy from Lodi on Manhattan Reefs and thx. My 120 I built a stand and canopy for it but this time I'm just going to fix up the existing stand because I'm eager to get it up and running - here is the thread from last build.
I have the powdered citric acid that I use because it doesn't have that bad smell. I also ordered the marine background from Universal Rocks so that will cover up the mess on the back wall and overflow.
