Not yet. (I like the new avatar btw) Ive been having some trouble finding my bulkhead at any of my LFSs. One of them ordered four of them in for me ($20) and they should be in either tomorrow or the next day. After that, I still have to decide what skimmer I want, then get a sump that will...

Problem almost solved. Thanks to my friend here: I got the nut off of two of them. The other two will have to wait. The inlet pipes into the tank have an extra wide piece (coupling?) that allows tubing to be put in. This is too large to allow the nut off and is screwed on. It wouldnt fit...

Hi all. I am setting up a 150g reef tank. It has dual overflows in the corners. I put about an inch's worth of water in the tank to test the seals on the bottom of the overflows. They were fine. So, I took the same water and put in one of the overflows. After I got about an inch or so in...

Thanks. Will do. Ive seen people get a little mad about splitting posts, so I didnt know if it was appropriate. Mark

Well, I checked the fitting on all of the bulkheads and one was easy to get off. This one didnt leak, but since I wanted to replace all four, I figured it wouldnt hurt to get it out. So my question is, where should the bulkhead come off of? Should all of the PVC come out of both sides, or is...

Okay, so I presume I would just take a wrench and unscrew the nut on the bottom of the tank. Since im removing the bulkhead, couldnt I just grip the end of the top peice of the bulkhead (the part that the nut screws onto) from the underside of the tank too and use both wrenches to pull in...

Thats what I was thinking was the solution. This may seem like a terribly ridiculous question, but how do I go about taking them off? In all my 10+ years of freshwater, Ive never had to deal with under-tank plumbing more than a canister filter. I know they screw together, but unless I can get...

I put 5g of water in the tank today to check the bottom seams of the tank. All of the seals for the tank are fine. No leaks. So, I took a few cups and filled in one of the overflow sections. And, to my disappointment, one of my bulkheads were leaking! The inlet to the tank on the right side...

Other than ASM, what are the particularly notable skimmers I should make sure to give a look over? Mark

Used for rays at the previous house. Same one from my build thread in the Reef section. And no, just wanted to give it a wipe-down to get off anything that might be on the inside from sitting around the past few weeks. Mark

Nevermind. Found all info needed on an earlier thread. Mark

Hi all. I have a very simple question. I just got a 150g RR tank. I wanted to give it a wipe-down, inside and out. My question is, do I only use water for both the inside and out? See, very simple

bump..

Absolutely. Thats what I was wondering. Thanks for clarifying that for me. Mark

I am looking up RO/DI units and I was thinking..exactly how important is the DI part? What does it actually do and would it be something to make sure to have in an RO fixture? Mark

Alright, Ive run across another (possibly minor) problem. I measured the inside of the stand to make sure my tank will fit under there, and it will. But, the thing is, 55g tanks are only 12" wide. The ASM G3 skimmer, skimmer I was going to buy, has an 11x12" footprint. Will the skimmer fit...

I would prefer to use soft tubing. But I didnt know if there were advantages or disadvantages to using that vs PVC. After a while of searching, there are always before and after pictures, but never any information telling about the process to get to the 'after' shots. then getting from the...

What are the dimensions of your tank at the office? Mine, after the sandbed, will be about 24". I dont know if I will paint the back yet, but it will definately be black, one way or another. Whatever I use as a background, I was thinking about putting a piece of styrafoam over it (just taped...

Alright, after all the waiting. Here is the tank. 150g reef ready with dual corner overflows. Cherry finish stand and matching canopy (which Im seriously thinking I will take off. Or at least the top piece). Came with (2) 36" Coralife Aqualight 2x96W PC's. Lets go least to most...

Just our of curiosity, with a 24" SB depth, what would the lights that came with the tank be able to keep alive? They are Coralife Aqualight 36" 2x96W PCs. Mark
