While checking Craig's List for tank to build my sump I found this.
Apparently, a new store in Parlin, NJ. Anyone familiar with them?

I plan to start the stand build tomorrow. I will be using this as a model along with this video.
Any tips so I don't mess it up to much.
It will be a slow process as we decided to get new carpeting after the Holidays.
I want everything ready so the move will hopefully go as smooth as...
I have to stop going into pet stores; keep buying fish and I need to move everything into the 120g eventually.
Picked up a Neon Dottyback super cheap.
Also, doesn't help with my son going buy it Dad, buy it.
I was going to use a 40g breeder for my sump on the 120g DT. Just a few questions for those that used a Rubbermaid container.
How is it?
How did you handle the container bowing out?
Did you use baffles and how?
Thanks

My tank is not looking well after the sump leak and skimmer is offline. I have a Coralife superskimmer and hooked up my mag5 but have no diffuser.
Does anyone have a diffuser or pump I can borrow until my 120g is up and running? Or if there is an easy way to make a diffuser let me know...
About two weeks ago my wife found an egg while weeding. My son went over and dug some more and found 13 more eggs. Four were eaten by ants and fifth was cracked open, baby only lived for about an hour. He put the remaining nine in the incubator. Tonight one of the eggs started to hatch, see...
Stand build questions- 07735
I have two questions, for now, about building the stand.
I read on several web sites that if its your first stand build you should make it 1 inch longer and wider than the tank. My tank is 48" x 24" so the stand would be 49"x25". Does everyone agree with that...
It seems my sump under the stand is leaking; at least I hope its that and not DT. I noticed water on the floor this morning and checked, everything looked good except the tank was very full while sump was low. I adjusted the float as it seemed stuck and went on my way. Shortly after I hear the...
As I plan out my upgrade I was wondering how do I know the the overflow rate of the built-in overflows of the 120g tank? I have a Mag9 pump and not sure if it is strong enough.
I have a Nac-7 skimmer and today the pump stopped working, Atman 2500. I took the skimmer apart and cleaned the pump, which was clean anyway. No broken parts even the ceramic shaft is okay. It will start pumping for a few minutes and then stop any ideas?

Looking for a pump for the pond at least 500gph.
Also, need something like an OSI or Laguna. You know with the slots/vents on the intake side.
The feeder fish are getting sucked into the Mag pump and sometimes the turtles foot gets stuck.
Tried a pre-filter sponge but restricted the flow...
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.
