Well, I’m getting back. For the last ~2months I’ve had water in the 120 with the live rock and sand with a heater going and 2 vortechs waving away. The break felt good as it allowed me to focus on some other issues. Last night I picked up my custom fuge and a few weeks ago I got my lights from...

Thank you both. I'll try Lowes first and keep hd for a backup.

Since I can't find anyone to build me my custom fuge, I'm going to try it myself. Anyone know where near Morristown where I can find 1/4" acrylic? Is that something home depot would have or do I need to find a distributor somewhere? Thx.

Nice. Will be anxious to see how it runs. I have my tank cycling now. Still haven't hooked up the skimmer yet, but soon. Dang thing is confusing just trying to assemble it.

Note to poster. When patience is found, bottle, sell and retire on revenue stream.

Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. How about you come over and set one up for me this week as I'm watching the race at Talladega? ;D Looks great. I so need something like that set up.

Order them online if you need to. In the meantime, use a shoelace or rope and tie a knot to keep them closed.

Super job. Looks great. Is that sump glass or acrylic? Tough to make? Asking cause I gotta make a fuge and am a bit hesitant.

+1 They've helped me with every problem I've had.

I know mine has killed several corals after he mowed down the bubble algae. >:(

I will go on record stating that I believe some day we will find out it's a scam. Publicity stunt for the show.

Just thought I’d post back up. I decided to go with 2 EcoTech MP40w with a battery backup hooked up to one of them. I stumbled upon a guy on ManhattanReefs that sold me the setup cheap although everything was new in box. Took out the first one, hooked up it. Plugged it in to see that it was...

Since this thread popped back up, just wanted to clarify what I'd learned. The date on the bucket of which 10/06 was one, I've been told is the date of manufacture. The other date, 3/30/09 on the sticker was the date it shipped to the store. So it was totally me getting my panties in a wad...

I'd like to find a bulkhead to use on a round barrel. So the flange would have to be concave instead of flat. The idea is that I'll run my RODI water into a plastic 55g drum, then about 1/4 from the top, have this bulkhead that runs overflow to a smaller holding tank which is where I'll mix my...

So much of what I've read on the web recently has been slanted towards having a seperate fuge from the sump so that the water in the fuge can flow slower. That said, it seems like most have a combined sump and fuge. Can anyone tell me what the pros/cons are? The sump I currently have is not big...

So I hadn’t read this till now and just did my rockwork last night. Go figure lol. I had put the sand in the bottom then the rock. Is it worth it at this point to siphon out the 1-1/2” of sand, take out the rock, put something else down then put everything back with sand around the rock instead...

Thanks all. Guess I just need to figure out a better system. Up till now all the salt water was stored in 55gal drums in the garage. I do have a laundry room (at least I think that's what it is. it has big white things that the wife puts dirty clothes in and they magically come back out clean)...

Just another reason that makes me want to buy online which I hate doing. Why pay for knowledge if they don't have any. ???

Figured it was all about the same. Guy at LFS said to get the tropic marin. Guess next time I won't listen.

Last night on the way home from work, stopped by the LFS to pick up some salt (Tropic Marin). Didn't think much of it, but when I got home I noticed it had two dates on it. One date was 10-06. Guess that's when it was made. The other date was 3/30/09. Was that an expiration date? Hope I didn't...
