I would suggest making the whole stand so that the 40b sump can fit inside the bottom. Then, for the top of the stand, make that a single sheet of plywood to make like a table top. If you center the tank on the plywood top, the weight will get distributed to the edges, which will be supported by...

Thanks for the entertainment Paul! Nothing like a large glass of sarcasm to start the day!

Hello Elcammer, thanks for offering to host a meeting for us. We're always looking for people to volunteer so hopefully we can get one scheduled at your place soon. I think the reason you couldn't reply was because only paid members, sponsors, and certain other groups are allowed to post in...

With an AIO like you have Jing, I would agree with Mike that a media basket would probably be #1 on the list. With a small overall water volume... easy media changing seems like it would be the most help. Secondly (and would probably be 1st on my list with a larger system) would be an ATO...

Good question. Would like to know what some others are doing as well since I'm upgrading my 75g to a 120g. I currently have just a single MP40, but will be picking up a 2nd MP40 for the new tank. My current tank is just setup with the single MP40 on the glass facing the "wall side" and it's...

I would think any major plumbing supply store would have them. I'm not talking HD or Lowes, but something like Barton Supply (Cherry Hill) or Stevenson Supply (Mt. Holly) would certainly have them.

Great question Paul. I believe the answer is Yes, it is you. Seriously though. I would probably put myself into a few of those categories. I do keep a tank mostly because I enjoy the beauty of it and it reminds me of some of the things I see (and never get to see) when SCUBA diving. But, I...

Some people do, some people don't. There was another thread a while ago where we discussed how different things work for different people. I'm not going to rehash all of that, but my point was that everyone's tank is different. Tanks differ in: size (water volume), bioload, livestock, live...

His profile says he's in Trenton, NJ. I know we have a bunch of people in that area that could probably stop by to help. I'm sick with a sinus infection at the moment or else I'd offer to help. :(

My first thought was that "nature will find a way to adapt and survive". After reading the whole article to find that the acidity levels there have been that way for a long time as opposed to other areas where the acidity raises quickly (due to human interaction)... I believe it even more...

Not sure if there are any rights activists out there, but I received an email today about this and thought it was something worth sharing. Below you will find a link to sign an internet petition to try to regain some rights with regard to using the internet. I've signed petitions with this...

Gary @ CL has been doing that for years. It is a gamble, obviously, but there are some people who reported getting some great bargains by buying one of these. I guess if you're putting in an order with him and need to spend a bit more for the free shipping, it's worth a shot. You just never...

Carbon could certainly be the issue. I've heard several people claiming that switching carbon had killed off their corals, including Mike (motortrendz) from Mainland Aquatics and I believe Matt (mfisher2112) from Reefs Plus. They were both talking about it at a meeting last year. I use Rox...

PM sent.

It sounds to me that either they put the wrong LEDS on the one that's different (switched B for RB by mistake) or perhaps the signal being sent to that fixture is lower than is going to the other two (thereby making them appear a different shade of blue.) If you got them when they first came...

Nice one Earl! I'm reading your post going... isn't that exactly what Kevin just posted?... And then I realized you were just playing along. It could be that the person is just not reading all the replies (like Brian said) or it could be that the person just didn't refresh the page after being...

Great link Mike! That site is chock full of great info. Good luck with the Jawfish. Would love to see them if they make it.

Great start! Would also like to add one more suggestion to Mike's (mnat's)... smaller tanks benefit from more frequent water changes. Since the volume is small, it tends to be contaminated faster as opposed to a larger tank that has more water to dilute impurities. So, try to do one every...

Hmm, well, I have a few instances where water spilled. 1. My skimmate collection container (that the skimmer cup drains into) is under my stand, but outside of the sump. My skimmer went nuts a couple times and proceeded to overflow the collection container (a lil less than 5 gallons). It...

He was on his cell when it happened. Can't CSI check the cell towers to see who was there at that time? Seriously though, that sucks. You would think after the first or second time they would bring stuff inside though, huh?
