Did you use the DIY instructions on that site?

Tim... What did your tank look like before the sea hare got to the hair algae? I'm just curious because i'm in a battle with it myself.

George, Hold off on that stuff for a few days. I might not need it. I was informed over the weekend that someone might be willing to trade thier RR 75 for my 55 since they are not going to use it. I will know more by mid to end of the week. Thanks

Thanks again George. Good to know that I will finally be using a sump and skimmer. I'm sure that I will have a lot of questions when setting this up.

Not enough posts to PM huh? ;)

George, Of course, I am willing to take that stuff off of your hands. I'm trying to picture it and might have to mount on one of the sides of the 55. I'm not sure if how big it is since i'm not sure what size tank it is mounted on in the pics. I was seriously thinking about taking that...

That's a great thread! ....must be nice.

I'm digg'n the stand as well. Is your friend doing a matching canopy to go along with this?

Wow....I would have thought the opposite. How big is it? Is it the gold striped kind? I wonder if it would be a good mate for my two year old one?

No problem. I forgot to mention that they are FREE.

I found a couple of apps that pertain to our hobby that may be useful to those that have the iPhone or iTouch. Just open up the App Store and search for the following.. "Aquarium Abbreviations" This has just about every abbreviation with meanings that pertain to our hobby. "Dose" This...

I tell you what... This has to be the BEST thread EVER!! Perhaps i'm doing too much. ;D I don't quarantine. I put my hands/arms in the tank. I use a canister filter that doesnt get maintained as much as it should. I only test parameters perodically or when something goes wrong. I previously...

Welcome to NJRC!! Of course we want to see pics! Pics are always welcome. We especially want to see the unidentified LPS to get you an ID on it. I am very jealous of you having a mated pair of gold banded maroons. I have one that is a couple years old and regret not getting it a mate.

I saw this this morning on the news. A tow truck ended up pulling it down the turnpike a ways and pulled it into one of the access points to the road crews that take care of the road. A problem that I saw was that once the tow truck pulled it in, the plane would not fit through the gate. I'm...

I never thought about the paint effecting the par rating from the outside. Something to look into. Red has a point though. It gets covered in coraline in some tanks and doesnt matter.

Use a latex paint. I rolled on a couple coats to be sure it covered. Looks great and comes off easy if need be.

My 55 has survived this long with just a canister, I might as well hold out for a bit before I rip everything down. What's the cheapest RR 75 around? LOL Oooooor... I purchase a used plain 75 (anybody got one laying around?) and trade her for the RR one?

My tank is only 2-2 1/2 inches from the wall. Most overflows need at least 3+ inches. I would have to do a complete tear down just to move the tank and stand out a couple more inches. I would love to make use of this sump but I'm thinking that if I was going to do all of that, I should just...

Is it worth going that route or should I hold if the day ever comes that I upgrade to a RR system? I have heard a lot of stories about floods using overflow boxes. Is that due to human error or is it just one of those things that comes with using an overflow box?

OK, a friend of mine finally decided to do something about a rotting 75g set up that had layed dormant for almost a year without any care this past Saturday. (husband left her and hasnt been seen for a year and a half) Anyways, She called my wife to tell me to come get a couple things from the...
