how do you put the black background on there? What material? I don't want to paint it, too late now anyways. I don't really want to stick any tape or velco stickers on the tank either.. I don't know how I could do it.. any ideas? Edit: well after searching around the forums for a solution.. I...

how many turbos, ceriths, and fighting conchs? I need to be doing the same thing sometime soon... with my 75

wow that's great color! What is it, and what moon light do you use?

where'd you get the rock?

Originally posted by wjwaz59 I'm lucky to have a very good 'consultant' at my LFS. you are very lucky! My LFS just wants to sell me something. When I picked up my tank and stand/canopy the other day he was already trying to get me to buy his sand. He didn't know I already had 120lb on UPS...

I'm not sure on the very specifics of the 110gpd system, but from what I've heard, anything over 100gpd isn't a "true" RO/DI. Maybe somebody can provide some details? I bought a 75gpd the other day off of ----.. should be easy to find it. They have them all over on there. Pretty cheap, and from...

nice.. seems very easy. Will update once I got it all installed! :yes: mmm don't you just love the smell of wood stain... :nope:

So this is the correct way? It makes good sense to me now.. https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/68906/wiring-diagram-for-workhorse-7 thanks.. will paint the inside with some good high gloss paint. Expect some pics sometime soon! cordell

Ok I'll go check it out. Did you paint the entire inside of the canopy white? Or just the topboard? The sides and the front, would it be ok to stain that?

the diagram would be great! I can't do it until I get my bulbs in anyways. I'll go pick up a can of that ultra high gloss latex. The bulbs dont' get too hot for it huh? thanks cordell

Ok so I finally got all my stuff in. In it all, I got the workhorse7 ballasts (2) and 8 german endcaps. I'm wondering how the workhorse7's wire up to the endcaps? I guess the white and black wires tie into a power plug that plugs into the wall? And the other two sets of yellow/red wires plug...

yeah bringing up an old post.. but wondering if a fuge is necessary at first.. a new tank I mean? I plan to have a sump for skimmer, heater but am not sure if I need the fuge yet? Also, what size sump would be ideal for a 75gallon? I was thinking maybe two 10 gallons? I can get them cheap is...

does the mag9 have to be held back any so that it doesn't pump more into the tank than the lifereef can drain? Oh, what model lifereef do you have? Single or dual?

interested in the results myself.. will be setting up 75 gal soon and am planning to do similar, with aragonite sand, but not from southdown/old castle.. and live sand... how'd it work out?

no, but I will be soon.. probably be a couple more weeks before I do. Well, actually, it will probably be after swf.com opens back up so I can buy some dang sand from them! we'll see... thanks cordell

wish I'd have seen it before it was removed..

but I thought that live rock would actually get the cycle going? should I put any rock in at all during cycle? some base rock maybe for bacteria to attach? Also... what about live sand? seems I could get a good deal on both of them.. not sure if they can hold. Will check...

if I happen to find some good live rock that has a few soft corals and polyps on it, and put it in a new tank that is cycling, would all of the corals and other life mostly die off? If I couldn't put it in at first, is there any way I could keep the rock alive until after the cycle? If I did...

heard in other post he is on vaca?? I dout he's ignoring you..

Ok.. may end up holding off on the skimmer until cycle is nearly over. I've got alot of stuff coming in soon.. I don't wanna get overloaded and do things too quickly.
