we al cant start out with dream tanks. it will be fun building the thing. what are you gonna keep in it?

ok i have watched a few videos and i still dont understand how they totally work. i get how to get them started and all but what happens when the power goes out? do i have to restart the whole thing or will it do that by itself?

i found it by googleing it. i would try Ace hardware. if not you will have to go to like a glass shop/acrlic shop to get it.

yea im not 100% sure on the company name i think its weld on but i know that it is #4. its gonna be kinda messy. i used once before and didnt really like the stuff cuz one wrong move and you will see it forever. it basically mets the acyrlic together. so if you get a drip on the acrylic in a...

is the tank gona be acrlyic? if so then you dont use sylicone. to hold it together. you would you i think the name is weld on #4 for acrylic. sylicon willnot hold onto the acrylic.

sounds good man post up losts of pics while you build it.

i am gonna take a guess if i remember well enoguh he said like 3 weeks ish. but he was thinking of taking it in his car( i think) so idk what he is really doing.

i wash my hands with soap(dawn liquid stuff) and dry my hands really well. the fish that will eat from my hands in my tanks are: Foxface-not the best idea but she still eats, clowns9easyest to feed), hippo tang, blue w/yellow tail damsel. i think those are the only one that will eat from my...

to be on the safe side i probly would wait until you came back from break. that way you know the tank has gotten a little bit longer to establish itself. i was always told you have to wait on or around 6 months before you should start looking for corals. but that is what my LFS told me a long...

when i got my hippo tang i had him in my 30g QT for almost 2 months. i was having problems with all my readings after one of my fish got eaten. so he had to wait an extra month to be safe. he seemed happy in the tank all by himself. it was a good time for me to train him to eat the algee off of...

PM sent thanks again for the help

Jimmy-maybe you could save me a little bit of trouble: is there any way you could get me a few pics of your set-up and a list of things you used. if you could that would be awsome. if not thats fine to. at this point any tips/pic's and any other advise is good right now. thank you chris

i give them to my GF she is a ketchup maniac. see needs it for everything. she likes to keep packets in her purse just in case she didnt get enoguh for her frys. at least 10-15 min in purse at all times. its a little weird until you really want that extra bit of ketchup and she has it handy

i havnt started to even get into the skimmers yet. i know it will be an octo. just no sure which one yet. i would like one rated for double my tank size. so at a minimum of 110g but i would like more, cuz it will be like an 80ish gallon tank so 150-220g is what im gonna shoot for. i like to over...

this one im gonna make cuz i have some very specific space needs. so no premade one will work. its probly gonna be a custom acrylic design, unless i build a new stand(not sure if i want to yet...) but its all in the works. just starting to do the reaserch on everything. now for a return pump...

im gonna try and stay away from drilling at this time. i would like to try the HOB overflow for now. this is really me trying to figure out how to set up my next tank without going crazy and spending all this time on having my 55g down. my goal it to get this whole thing set up and fix all the...

ok so if i get everything correctly this is how it basically works: overflow drains to sump-goes trought sump-stops in holding chamber-goes bck into DT, then went DT level is high enough it fills the overflow up and does the whole thing all over again. tha is how i under stand it.

i have looked at mells reef. now here is one of my main question how does an over flow work?

ok so i plan on building a sump/fuge for my 55g tank this winter,and i am trying to figure out what i will need. i would like to build it in a 30L . i plan on using an overflow, so i dont have to drill. my questions are what types of things(equipment) should i be looking at? i would also like a...

im on a very low budget right now. mostly looking for used stuff in my area. trying to keep it under $100 for 2 lights
