I agree 100% - that is how friendships are made, even if they are only ciber friends.

Hey Krista - Hope you are feeling better tonight. I have a question, could a tank wall be built into the bottom of the tank. So you would have the rock wall with a fake/real tank bottom. I have a 15 gallon kicking around and wanted to try this, with the returns and overflow built into the...

Very glad to hear you are back!!!

Your canister probably has an air pocket in it and every now and then it gets big enough and expells micro bubbles. As far as air pumps and bubblers go they only cause salt creep - when the bubbles burst on the surface of the SW they cause build ups of salt. Not really recommended with SW -...

Looks great guys I am just looking at your sump the first compartment is that your skimmer section, it looks like you have a floor siliconed into the tank, just curious, always looking for new and better ideas.

Now that I look again his eye looks like a zoa or a polyp coral. Nature at it best!!!

Nice to meet you double E, LOL - intereSTING

What are you trying to feed him?

Welcome to the site, one thing you will find if you run the best equipment you will have a healthy aquarium. I am in the hobby almost two years now, when I first started all I had was FW background, many years. I started SW with a canister and a low end skimmer. Soon I found out that it...

I like it a lot - it has character. I mean this in a good way but it looks like an old dog sitting side ways on his behind with his paw out.

I like it as well - maybe you could drill and pin the live rock together with some fiberglas or acrylic rods.

I am all for tall stands as well I always wished I could drain my sump with a simple line and ball vave on the bottom. But because of building a stand before I knew a lttle bit about this hobby I made it too short. Good luck with your build - if you ever need some drawings I can put something...

Hey Shawn, I was building a few corner overflow boxes for my 120 - I know you went with a slot on your monster tank. Have you had a chance to try that yet, just curious because thats the route I took. Thanks Buddy

Flat on the floor - stand is 36" high - it is going behind a couch. No 2x4 on floor - I lag bolt the back to the wall and adjust the front for level if required - I usually skirt it with a piece of 3/4 if needed.
