So, had a few hours yesterday and finalized stand. Hopefully will get to tank by next weekend.

Ha! We'll SUE for COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT! So, hush, we don't have a copyright, BUT we will pretend we do. Don't think you can copyright stuff like this. REGARDLESS!!! If anyone asks any questions once the suit is launched, begin babbling, perhaps slip an AlkaSelter into your mouth (under cover)...

Like that, may grab one myself. Going to post that link in the air pump forum.

Crap. Sorry Joe. I'm sure the sand was OK. Agreed, most likely the curing time on the silicone.

Nice build and great advice. Thanks much. Just finished my stand and will begin the tank this Wed or Sat, will keep points in mind.

I'm up in the air on BB or 1" of Special Grade. I think I'm going to go with the SG. I've run a few BB with great flow and there always seems to be glass melding diatoms that I can't get to to scrape off. That being said... Ive started tanks BB and always ended up adding sand due to diatom build...

Ruth, Sorry for delay. Unexpected RL stuff. I was going to contact a few of the sponser contacts I made from the summer, but am a bit hesitant as we only have a few on board so far and I don't want to take advantage of them. I was seriously expecting at least a dozen and hoping for a score or...

No pneumatic equipment? Unusual.

ANDY! AJ! ERIC! JOSH! Welcome aboard! I'm located in Brick, lemme know if you need anything. Just FYI... I'm particularly good at juggling tangerines and playing the ukelele, though, I learned in an unfortunate accident, not at the same time, as that's when I lost my left eye and a testicle...

Also, ouside of using PVC glue. Consider using a pice of plastic/poly tubing with the inside diameter the same size as your PVC. Heat it to expand it and slide over the PVC at least 1". It will self seal. You can use circular screw clamps (forget the proper name atm) for added security. Saves a...

May have a 300w heater I can dig through the garage for. PM me an address and if I find it I'll drop it in your mailbox tomorrow during the day . Of course I'll tape a message to the outside of the mailbox for the mail-person reading 'Please don't disturb the bomb'.

Like that stand, couldn't be more appropriate.

The decor customization is nice as well. I'm currently thinking 4 differing themes... Steampunk with dark steel metallics, lots of copper and brass fittings, an inscription by HG Wells (or such). Country with weathered wood effects and a Lemonade sign, with 'NOT' chalked over it' Seaside with...

Yeah, I ran a water test on this one for 2 days. Initially it had a slow leak but some hand tighting corrected it. Saying that, I did order 2 extra spigots from Amazon (food grade, 5 star rated, $6) just in case. I plan on doing complete water changes every few weeks, so if a spigot leaks it'll...

The spigot hole is just the right size for a snail to get way into, and get stuck. Don't want to have to disassemble the whole spigot every water change. And... I bought a number of really cool items for stands and lighting at HOmegoods, but nothing lived up to expectations, so I'm building my...

Thought this would take off myself and we'd have at least 15-20. I announced it on R2R as well but there seems to be no takers. Lets give it a week or two. I can't contact sponsors for prizes for 5 competitors. If it doesn't work out, we can shut down the challenges forum and maybe shift posts...

Looked into them a while back. Evaporation, cleaning (now you can have algae inside AND outside), and keeping level were all concerns. Apparently they look great but are a maintenance nightmare.

Im in trouble. Forgot we were supposed to meet folks for lunch. Ive pushed it back to 2. I can head over earlier to lend a hand if thats ok (as in, i can leave now)

I want that stand! Would be great to hide the air pump under.
