That looks like an easy fit! If not, use a big hammer. :grin:

The Tankerator……on tap! :grin:

I’ve been wondering what had happened to Sid. Godspeed Sid. Hopefully you’re back in the game real soon. Thanks for the update Taz.

You really don’t want to use RO/DI water for freshwater unless your tap water is so bad that you need to strip out some “bad” stuff…like high nitrates. If you do use RO/DI water, you then need to add back ions…such as salt and baking soda…so that the fish have the right ionic balance. Again...

I’ve had good luck with a soda bottle trap. The secret is to include a hole in the middle of the bottle that you pump food into the bottle. Once the food is squirted into the bottle using a turkey baster, you occasionally squirt the turkey baster to create a snow globe effect.with the food...

Yea, but his wife would be questioning the presence of a pre-pubescent teen hanging around the house in a Robin outfit constantly saying, “Golly gee wiz Batman,” and Alfred, the English butler, incessantly feather-dusting that darn bookshelf.

Any JBJ 24 or 28 hood, with either HQI, compact fluorescents or LEDs are interchangeable, and will fit both the 24 and 28 gallon tanks.. Note that the HQI puts out the heat and you will need a chiller.

As Bax pointed out, determine the necessary basics first…..skimmer size and location (and make sure, if internal, you have the space under the stand so that it will fit); and also the return pump…internal and external. The next consideration is your plumbing. Decide if you want to split off...
