Frank, Would you mind telling us again what model equipment you're running on the big tank? Skimmer(s) Pumps Lighting Flow? How much equipment will be inside the display tank? Thanks a million, please post some updated pics.

I've lost count but wish I knew...I think I just might start saving receipts in a folder or something. 75g DT FOWLR w/ 55g sump and a 20H QT I think I'm near or just over $3K As soon as I move back down south I plan on building a 260g system and estimate equipment and livestock at $15K, ouch!

Would it be possible to have the location of the seller from their profile shown next to the thread name in the classified section? This would help a little when scanning through the classifieds. Thanks-Kevin

Great pics everyone! I don't have any tangs. I've read my 75g is too small for tangs. I wanted a kole tang but even that will outgrow a 75g, so I've heard. I most definetly will add a few tangs when I build my 270g though...coming in 2008.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't a Magdrive pump supposed to be submersed to operate correctly? Also, I would advise against adding too much pipe, valves and bends going to the intake side of the pump as this may restrict it enough to burn it up.

Oh yeah, Euroreef makes some awesome in sump skimmers. I've heard Lifereef is also a very well made protein skimmer.

Good luck with your rubbermaid sump. I tried that whole thing and ended up making one out of a 55long AGA. You may be able to research some of Squidd's threads, I know he has used homemade rubbermaid sumps before. I coudn't get my skimmer to sit level in a rubbermaid, which will affect the...

Wow, I'm so confused now. I thought the ballast is what the MH bulbs screwed in to. I wasn't sure if it was a controller for the lights or a chiller. :notsure: So that ballast is what controls the lights???

What is on the floor in the last pic?

Do you still have the overflow?

do you still have the overflow?

Do you use a macro lens or the one that came with the camera?

That was so awesome Psu! My wife loves your rays. You have some beautiful fish. I could watch that all day. Those rays sure do move fast when they're feeding.

Well, I guess while we're off the subject let me respond. My question to Phixer and statement of the 2.7M may have come off wrong. I have goals that I want to achieve in life, one is to retire at 55. I used the number 2.7M as a number to which I want to reach. I have many hobbies but can only...

Hi Squidd!!! My sump is doing good, thanks for all your help. I know Squidd likes to make his own HOB overflow boxes and uses the U-tube design. If you're interested in making your own out of acrylic search and you'll be impressed by Squidd's instructions on how to make one yourself.

I was JUST looking into the Cannon EOS 30D Digital SLR camera. Everywhere I've looked is around $1400-$1500. Is there a 38mm and Digital model available or am I getting a really overpriced camera? I was going to purchase tomorrow, anyone else use this camera?

What camera, lense? Looking to upgrade to a better digital. Currently using a Nikon Coolpix 885...love the camera, but I never get good or even decent pics of my tank. I also hate that the shutter closes 2 seconds after I press the button. :mad: Oh yeah, great photos!

Like Coach said, it depends on what your overflow is producing. I use a Mag18 on my 75g. I built a tall stand which means there's more head (it has to push the water more to get it back into the tank). I went from 1200GPH overflow to 600GPH (the first one broke) and now the ball valve on my...

Don't know much about your filter turned sump, but... I use a little air pump called an Aqua lifter on my overflow box to ensure the syphon starts back up. It cost me $12, I have heard that in some cases it failed though. Safest overflow box? I am about to purchase a Lifereef prefilter box. They...
