The initial cuts for the centerwall and rear compartment. For anyone cutting plexi - I used a 10" 200 tooth plastic blade on my tablesaw and went nice and slow. Worked fantastic but generataed a TON of small plastic shavings and created an odor so toxic that California won't let me near it. Open...

I'm using a fairly rigid 1/4" plexi. I'm building the plexi 'insides' of the sump as a drop in for the glass tank. Once this 'insert' is dropped into the 30L all edges of plexi that are in contact with glass will be roughed up considerably, in a back alley if need be, and said connections...

Moving ahead with this (sorta, at the moment)... I'm unsure if I want the fuge to be fed by the skimmer chamber at all. So with some leads from Brando, found a way I can run the output from the skimmer chamber UNDER the fuge. To supply the fuge itself with dirty water I have the option to...

Current tank has to be out of the living room before baby arrives. My time and financial allotment for anything outside work and baby prep is at zero, and I don’t see that changing for a while. So, no time or additional resources to set up new tank. As such, I’m thinking of selling the entire...

That was roundabout the initial plan, but having a current tank with both overflow and return on the left side, and not liking either running across the top of the tank, I wanted to try to design something with both chambers on the left, along with dedicated compartments for equipment. If it...

New Lexus? Ha! More like old Subaru. Edwin can sit in the back and keep my 4 year old amused.

Thanks much, gonna be fun :) BTW all, that 40B is brand new, still has stickers on it.

Trying to design a sump for the new 90g build. I'm limited to items on hand. Fortunately I have a 30g and a load of 1/4" plexi. I'd love to go custom but not an option atm, and a 30 is the biggest stock tank I can fit under the cabinet. I'm running it for a 90g Deep Blue Reef Ready, which has...

Looks fantastic. Want to say thanks and I'm sure it'll be a great meeting.

Heya folks, Close to delivery of the new kiddie. Wife will be out of work for 3 months and our insurance company congratulated us with a surprise. So, there was a big convo today and almost gave up the hobby for a bit, especially as we were in the early stages of upgrade. As it stands, we're...

Edwin, Where you at? I'm heading up from Brick. If you're on the way I can pick you up. My time there is limited to the patience of a pregnant wife and the anxiety caused by a 4 year old.

As Paul mentioned, it was from an old article. I don't have a link atm but the process is exactly as he mentioned. It works for both phosphates and nitrates. I wasn't worried about nitrates at the time as my phosphates were climbing ridiculously high. Combined with the peroxide dosing each...

So, way back when, when I began this hobby, bout 18 months ago, round about tea time, I had a bryopsis and hair algae breakout. Three days of total blackout while force starving the fish and running GFO did nada. Uncovered for a day, fed fish, and repeated the Alaskan winter. Nada. Ended up...

Limited in space in my new cabinet. I can fill it entirely with a 40g sump/fuge, or I can go smaller (30g) and leave space for a 10g ATO tank. If I go large I'd run tube from my RO/DI and rely on an Eshopps float to regulate. The BIG question... How reliable are these floats 24/7? What are...

Please close.

Hey all, first question of many with the new build. I've got a 65g shallow reef with approx 60-70# of rock and a 20g sump. I'm sing a Reef Octopus 110 INT. I'm going to a 90g, upping to 90-100# rock and at least a 30g sump. Will the RO-110 do for now? I'm working on a tight budget. I...

Done. http://www.njreefers.org/showthread.php?90829-Mark-s-90-upgrade

That nook rocks. Stunning tank as well.

So, got a stand from ebay, custom All Glass, solid oak, excellent condition... And here's mini Fonzie hanging out next to the new tank and the canopy... Couldn't have ordered a better match for the room's oak trim.

With new baby coming have to relocate aquarium and decided to upgrade on a budget along the way. Couldn't justify $600+ on a new stand. Found a stand on ebay, way up in Bergen County, no details, looked nice, wanted $450. I figured it was a generic. Made an offer of $250. Was accepted. Guy...
