How big is the DT and what size sump/refugium are you considering? If the sump is between 10 – 75 gallons, I prefer glass tanks. They are easily and readily available at reasonable cost. As far as baffles, I personally prefer acrylic because I can cut and modify it very easily. However...

I pretty sure I could fit that rock into my tank.

I’m sorry, for some reason this one slipped by me for a week. My lights are about 12 ½ inches off the water. Realize I’m trying to light a five foot tank with two lights.

How big is these beast? If I can fit it, I would love to use it for its sweepers to clean up some palys. Oh, and I'm in Sayreville....not too far.

Pete, what are you asking for a frag?

The best $300 I’ve spent. THIS little generator from Sam's was run 24/7 for seven-plus days during Sandy. I ran my entire tank, refrigerator, boiler, television, and a few lights. My only complaint is that it is a bit loud. Next time (if there is one), I’ll locate the generator further away...

Now the next question is whether it's a 9.5A or 9.5B model. It's my understanding that the impeller and cover are the differences between the A and B models.

You could always strap the stand to the roof.

Yipes! Déjà vu. I hope that’s not a Coralife/Zilla power strip. Look HERE.

I'm not sure if this is the beginning of the stand, but if it is, there is an issue with the construction. The issue is that the screws are supporting the weight of the tank....and you don't want to do that. It is easily fixed by adding weight bearing portions to the frame as seen in this...

Kevin, I’m hoping you appreciate my jocularity. Actually Gabby was the most patient little girl I’ve ever seen….a long day while daddy (Jose) worked. Did I mention it was a long day! I'm sure she slept the whole way home in the car.

Oh Boy, let me tell you, she was a slave-driver. Here’s Kevin looking for a place to hide: While Edwin tries to make it look like he knows what he’s doing.

Brian, you don’t need to explain it to me…..I had three deductions, a house (now mortgage free), a cheap craigslist tank and inexpensive Apollo lights. But the tank and lights were after the three deductions moved out (although some of them want to move back in….and are no longer...

Hey! I had nothing to do with this. I think the name of the person who designed and built this behemoth was Gabrielle (sorry, I’m terrible with names), but here’s her picture with her sitting on her creation. While she did all the work, Kevin, Jose, you and I sat around drinking beer...

Just saw your WTB for the 75 gallon for a sump. I think this is a good choice and will better handle the volume of water passing through the sump. Not to mention that it will easily fit into that new stand you have. :grin:

Note to self: Report Brian to the IRS…..and collect a reward! :devilish: New house, new kid, new tank, and now new (over-priced) LED lights. How is he affording this? :o Brian, congratulations on all you recent acquisitions. :grin:

Estes sand is actually a resin coated gravel......from their literature: "All Estes products are clear coated, using 100% environmentally friendly high gloss resin. This state of the art process makes their gravel virtually dust free, and provides the best possible appearance and ease of use in...

Edwin, your water-loss numbers are unacceptable! You have “standard” tanks with behemoth overflows. Raise your LocLine returns so they are close to the surface, or install siphon breaks. Both tanks should drop about an inch (or less), which calculates to 5 gallons for the 120, and 2.8...

Ouch! Sorry for your mini flood and fried IceCap…..but actually it’s great seeing that you are still alive……..Haven’t heard from you in a while. Welcome back John! Actually all the Glass-Holes folks have to watch out for a similar thing….the breather tube blocking up. The difference is...

I'd go for the 1050's. There is no such thing as too much flow.
