All is well now. Skimmer is doing great.

UltraCorals, Thank you for the reply. Glad to hear this should not be a problem.

Paul, Thanks for the re-assurance. I was think of doing the same thing with corner molding.

I did buy it used and agree my fault for not noticing. Unless this happened in transit. Thanks for the info as long as it holds water I will deal with the eye sore.

I picked up the tank today and noticed the following defect. It is more of a small sliver of glass is missing. I am concerned of the tank leaking or cracking now. Here are some pics and any opinions appreciated. The pics make it look bad but it doesn't to the eye.

I decided to buy the 120g and worry about the stand later. I will create a build thread when I start this project.

Paul, You were 5 minutes away and didn't stop by to say hello. :smile: There was one there last year near the fishery but was dead. I believe it was a mink whale.

Just posted this in case anyone was thinking of getting it. Like I said for $90 cannot complain. I will email the company and tell them what happened. When the fan and fixture go I will purchase from another company.

I am going with carpenter Flasher wrasse.

I made a typo in my post the tank is a 120g, 4x2.

Like the title states. Found a good deal on a 20g RR tank just no stand. before I buy wanted to see if anybody had a stand for it.

I really cannot complain much since I did get this fixture new for $90, Deep Blue SolarXtreme 48", 4 bulb, T5 unit. The first problem, right after i got it, was one of the led bulbs went out, smack in the middle. I wrote the manufacturer and they made all the arrangements to replace the whole...

Fish in the piping.

Well at least now we can sex them more accurately!

Thanks for the info. I used it before without any problems but I had crappy skimmers. Now that I have a good one guess its going to be a problem.

Four days ago I noticed that Cyano was creeping up in the tank. I haven't had much time lately to really be on top of things so I added some Chemi clean and an aerator. In three days the cyano was gone; I turned on the skimmer and it went nuts even set to off. Last night I put the Kent carbon...

Sad news. As of October 2012 the magazine will stop publication. I have been subscribing for a few years and they recently took over FAMA. Now both will be gone. Just a shame. http://www.fishchannel.com/fish-magazines/aquarium-fish-ceases-publication.aspx

I forgot about the barley straw, thanks for the reminder. I was going to add some pond salt too.

I cannot re-home them as they are rescues my daughter took in. I am very familiar with turtles as I have quite a few now and in the past. I don't want people to take them and then release them ad RES are not native to NJ and destroy other habits. Funny thing is my homemade filter from 2 years...

Thanks for he info. I did have a bunch of Hyacinth's in it last year and the turtles ripped them apart in a day. This in turn clogged the pump and was a hassle to clean and get all the little pieces out. As for fish I am concerned the turtles will eat them. I was considering a large 6" goldfish...
