    Tank stand question

    You should go to some stores and look at stands. Even the large aquarium stands made for 125 and 180 gallon tanks are made with just 3/4 inch Plywood. I build stands as a past time for some local stores and even on my 150 gallon stands I just double up the 3/4 inch ply in the corners. As long...

    Finished my stand

    I was going to do a thread but really did not have the time. I did one a few years back and when they changed the site over to a new format they lost all of the pictures. They are really pretty easy. When I build the next one ( I am always building them for people ) I will try to do a thread...

    Finished my stand

    I finished my latest stand. It's a 150 gallon made of Oak. I should have used 12 inch doors instead of 10 but just another lesson learned.

    Converting a wet dry to a refugium

    When you mess with a stable system you are asking for trouble. A Fuge is an option along with all of the other options. I personally have always had very shallow sandbeds and a good Skimmer and have always had beutiful healthy tanks. There are many ways to go but the more stuff you add to...

    DIY Rock

    About 1/3 of my reef is DIY Rock and unless you are looking for it you can't tell which stuff is Live rock and which is Aragocrete. The Aragocret is quite porous so it is great for Beneficial bacteria and for tiny critters. I bought the Oyster shells at the feed store. another thing that...

    Magnum 350 Canister Filter

    Water moves really fast through that filter. How packed is your Carbon. If the Carbon is packed in more than about 2/3 full it might be slowing down the water enough and overheating the motor. Something is wrong with the filter if that filter increasing your water temp that much.

    DIY 150 gallon stand

    4X4's are overkill and take up alot of room. I have built lots of stands and 3/4 plywood with 2X4's in the corners is plenty. You don't need to have a full 2X4 frame. You want the stand to be able to flex so it does not crack the tank. No matter how hard you try you will not get the stand...
