Steve, Thanks alot. I hope to start on this tomorrow so it will be ready for the move this weekend. I do not want to break down the tank, rebuild it, then have to tear it down again later after I get the wall ready for it. I see this as beeing too stressfull not only on me but on the tank as...

I can deffinently have the urge to get a larger tank, but that is not going to happen anytime in the near or not so near future. Unless I come into a deal where some one is practacly giving a large tank away. And I do not see that happening.

Originally posted by steveweast 1) Are you having the tank truely built into the wall? meaning, is the tank going to be into the wall cavity itself and ending up flush with the drywall and then framed? If so, and with the 12 1/2 inches of tank depth that you're working with... that would leave...

Steve, Awsome pix. I really thank you and Bigmac for helping me out here! I think I have everything covered but what to use above the tank. The part that is in the wall and outside of the wall is bound to cause salt creep and moister problems on the wood and dry wall. What can I use to cover the...

Steve Weis? I dont remember what his nickname here is.

If it is not near you, you might want to consider a road trip as several of us have done in the past. I live in Chattanooga, and was fortunate enough to have it as close to me as Atlanta, and Nashville. I have taken road trips to both. Go to party, and load up on sand at the same time.

you can also, drill a small hole the same size of a small hose, and silicone the hose into the hole. than use your mouth the start the syphon, and use a one way valve to stop the end of the hose. this is how I did mine when i built it some what like yours.

Ok, I just bought a house. I am looking at moving in next weekend. I have about a week from now to get it cleaned up and ready to move in. Last week I was at a customers house, and he had an in- the-wall fresh water tank set-up that inspired me. Another customer of mine a few days later...

I had the same problem with my carpet anemone. He decided to roam around and find a more suitable place to live. He tried a Nemo and got sucked into the powerfilter intake. The intake is not a hole, it is the normal slotted intake cover. So I found him maybe 20 minuted later, or a day later...

tiffster, In no way way I even attempting to inply that you were in the wrong, or that you were an idiot, or anything. I way just trying to bring a little humor into it, but I see I failed. Again, I was in no way attemting to insult, nor offend you. My appologizies to you for causing any...

(Petsmart Manager)- Tiffster, can I see you in my office NOW! (Tiffster)- Yes Sir. (Petsmart Manager)- I understand you have been stealing from my store and my company. What do you have to say about this? (Tiffster)- Sir, I am not sure I know what you are talking about. (Petsmart Manager)- I...

If you are starting up a new tank, I would add the sand, then the water, about 1/2 to 3/4 full, and let it set for about a week or so, then put the LR in, you should not have a problem with it sinking too much. The sand kinda packs itself with the water on top.

Are they reef ready tanks? or over the side overflows?

guess that will work too.
