MORE LESSONS LEARNED! The glass from Lowes is NOT STRONG ENOUGH! The baffles are holding just fine but the peice I have seperating the fuge from the return section shattered with the water preasure. It is really holding back a lot of water so I guess I should have expected it. Tomorrow I will...

PICTURES! Ok, so I had to build my own overflow kit becuase of the custom tank. I know the pictures is hard to see but I forgot to take pictures before I put everything together. Now it is time for the sump fun. This is the right side of the sump. The egg crate is not where it should be...

Wow, you are definatly moving at a good rate then! Now, I know the plumber rule. 1/4 a turn after hand-tight. "You live, you learn."

I want to come over and check out your tank once it is up and running. Your sump looked amazing and I would love to see it in action.

Ok so the plumbing is done and I did my first fresh water test.......... Lessons Learned: 1. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN BULKHEADS! I did that and it cracked so when I started the water I saw a nice stream of water going all over the place! 2. DO NOT RUSH: I built my sump from a 135 gallon and got...

I did have a red cyno outbreak that I thought I solved. I also have higher lighting because I put a large mirror behind the tank and that is really relecting the light a lot into the tank because there is no back. I know this sounds bad but I "might" have changed the salt recently also. I...

So I need to identify what my problem is before I can fix it! Here goes........ I have a buildup on my glass, sand, and even on my fish! It kinda looks like diatomes but now it is starting to have a green look to it. It builds up so fast that if I don't clean the glass almost every hour there...

Ok, I have not updated in a while because I was out of town until now but I figured I should post a picture of the hard work that fellow reefers did on lifting the tank up! Tomorrow I get to start cleaning the Sump and starting on the plumbing. I am going to take that slow and plan and post...

You will have to scrub with the vinegar.

I just used the vinegar and it worked great for me on one used tank.

Everyone knows that I am there to help them out whenever needed. All you have to do is let me know.

Re: APRIL Meeting: Sunday April 22nd in Washington, NJ I will be there.

They are actually in Avenel. They are right next to the Burger King on the same side of the street. There is a puppy store in the same strip mall as them.

Put in a request at AqOb and I am sure they will be able to get it for you.

I am glad you are a few steps ahead of me so I can watch your progress before I get there and look forward to it!

Sorry to hear about all your misfortunes. I really hope everything starts to improve for you soon. Let me know if I can help out at all.

I second that thanks. This was my first meeting and I had a blast. I will definatly be coming to more.

Thanks to everyone that helped with the "tank lift" today! It went VERY smooth! Much smoother than anticipated thanks to some great planning. It was not just extra muscle that helped with this one but also the extra brain power! Hopefully I will be able to put some pictures up of the tank with...

I will give you a hand for free but my last attempt was not so good getting a clown out of another NJ reefer tank. I also think that clown was pure evil so that may make a difference.

Wow, now I am very nervous about my pluming because I will be going throug walls! I hope it works out for you. FYI, Aquatic Obsessions also has bulkheads of different sizes.
