Originally Posted by mkroher I'm about to order the overflow kit from glass-holes.. then I got to thinking about eliminating the need of unsightly powerheads, by drilling a couple more holes on the sides, with an external pump for flow. only problem i see, is if the hole was drilled in the...

Hi there, Originally Posted by aquatix any ballpark on what all this may cost? It all depends on wether the wall is a shearwall (a wall set for later resisting system) or not. If the wall is a shearwall, than you are going to have to look into a structural analysis of the house to make sure...

Just in case you all did not catch what I meant, here it is; If our tanks (everything for that matter) reach equilibrium, to me it would imply that the system is static. This is impossible in what we understand as life. Nothing in life is nor will it ever be static. All life as we know it is...

Hi there, Really nice, I like that idea. Originally Posted by pheonix got water in it finaly. still have some electric to run. went with 4 250s on the lights. need some help with a water top off if any one can help. and some pics

So if we let our tanks alone, in a few thousands years they will reach equilibrium just the like the ocean did?

Sorry, just noticed I had already given you my opinion. Well good luck with your build.

Hi there, Originally Posted by ncabw I'm looking at building a glass tank 84"x30"x30" I'm planing on using half inch glass and i will use 2 maybe 3 Cross brackets. i've used alot of different Calculators for fish tanks and they all say different things. from 1/2" to 3/4". i figure with the...

Originally Posted by VDUB99AML Judging by these pictures, I do not think you have much water movement (no powerheads). If so, than add some and you will see a difference.

Hey Crimzy if the wife isn't getting it done let me know. I would be more than glad do it for you. Yes Crimzy, you can have another fish tank. Yes Crimzy, you can meke it 10,000 gallons if you want.

And once again so I fully understand your argument. Are you saying if you have live rock in your tank you must have nitrifying bacteria on it. (I can ask the same thing about the pad filter) If so why not just move a heater from one tank to another If your premises is that as long as its in your...

Hi there, Originally Posted by sickboy Anyone ever spend some time looking at this site even if for no other reason than to strengthen your own faith & arguments? http://www.evilbible.com/ It is easy to read a book, but sometimes very hard to understand it. As pointed out before, why do...

No first you would have to assure that the water is passing over the rock Is this not standard practice? secondly the water is definitely passing through the filter material and first come first served. This would imply you would have to put the pad filter in during the intial setup of the...
