Kipass4130, Are you running one standpipe or two??

Sorry for the confusion, the bottom is drilled on one side already. The tank is all 1/2" plate glass.

One side is already drilled for a 2 inch bulkhead, It is not tempered.

What size bulkheads and standpipes do you recomend on a 200 gallon system. I will be drilling the bottom back corners and need to know what will work best for the bulkheads and pipe diameter. Thanks

I was talking to the LFS and they said not to use the trickle on a reef system, they use the Berlin method. I am setting up a new system (200G) and plan a DSB reef tank. I am thinking of the refugium also, should I make this into the sump or keep it separate? If I do not use the trickle I...

No Leaks.....Wooo Hoooo........ Now starting the stand. Sorry guys I dont have a digital camera yet, but I will be asking questions pretty often before I buy anything.

I have run a search on this and came up with many posts. My question is which ballast do you feel is the best, and why also the same on the bulbs. I am looking at adding 3 or 4-400W MH lights to my 200 gallon tank. It is 84x24x24. I also have standard 40W bulbs that were given to me that I...

I am test filling my 200 gallon for leaks, If all goes well I will strt building the stand this weekend. After 3 years of waiting my dreams of a saltwater tank are becoming reality.

No Whites up that far, we did have a couple of 16 foot Grey Whalers come in, but not close enough for the pics to turn out good.

Cool, I now have my avatar. This is a pic I took of a reef shark at about 60 feet deep at Holmes Reef, Australia. This reef is about 150 Miles out to sea from Cairnes on the northern part of the Great Barrier Reef. Here is a link to some more pics...

I would also like to know were your rock was purchased. Thanks steven@slpcomputer.com

I think I will whore this post so I can get closer to adding my coolest avatar ever.......

A show tank is taller and skinny, a reef tank is normally wide and shorter. Thats the way a couple of my books explain it. They also say to stay away from buying a show tank because the water surface is generally too small for the size of the tank, unless you are going to add a means for more...

Good, I am almost there...Like it matters anyways....

Heck, The system wont even let me pick an avatar?????

The play sand division is now Oldcastle Stone Products, Southdown was purchased by Cemex and I guess everything has been changed except the website.

Thanks, I will try the upc. The only place that supplies the sand to Home Depot here is Quickrete, and they did not have any coral type sands, all silica based.

I was at HD today looking for southdown, no one knew what I was talking about. They did say if i can get an item number that they may be able to find it. Can anyone get the Home Depot item number for southdown and post it here. Thanks

some glass shops can get the trim.

this is a custom tank with no molding, thats why I needed to find out about the support I dont want to break the bottom of 200 gallons
