Yes I do want a bigger tank. Hoping for around 200 bowfront acrylic. When that one is up and running in the future, I'd like to euro the 80

I did primer the brace and paint it. I will keep my eye on the brace and tank until I buy the acrylic tank I really want. I watched a video on taking the plastic off and installing a glass brace. The guy said something about it being euro. Looks nice and I'd love to try it but I don't want to...

When I started this tank the wife and kids paid no attention to it. My wife just thought I was tossing money out of the window. I've wanted to do this for years but I didn't want to start one until I bought a house so I knew I wouldn't move them from place to place. Anyhow now the wife and kids...

Well I have the brace in place and everything is back to normal as far as measurements go. All of the silicon looks to be in good shape.

All of the seams look great. I've been cautiously inspecting the tank since I noticed this. I have a 50 gallon I can put them in if anything is to happen. I will try fiberglass and this metal brace first before tossing away this aquarium. I can not just afford to go out and get another tank at...

Thank you. That sounds like a good idea. Sometime today I hope to go into town to pick up some resin.

Here is the brace. I will paint it to blend in a little better. [/URL][/IMG]

I acquired some of the wood clamps, used for wood gluing and brought it back in to original specs. I will be building a metal brace for the center of the tank and leave it permanently. Hopefully that along with fiberglass and fiberglass resin it will hold for a year, or until I come up with the...

I came home today hand this is what I see. It has bowed out 5/8". It is a 80 bow front. What can I do to bring it together? Thanks.

I may check that out one day. Just went through ft.worth yesterday. Was in a bit of a hurry. I strongly dislike that city. Lol

I actually go to both. Same distance for me. Fish bowl is pretty awesome place.

Central Texas between waco and Gatesville.

Thanks I will check my nearest walmart next time I am in town. I live in the country and go to town as little as possible. I know for sure the grocery store about 30 miles east has that machine.

Yes all of the colors are slimy to the touch or flake away with the touch of my finger. The person I bought the rock from said tap water was fine if treated. So I guess I'll be going out soon to get a ro system. It has spread slowly in the last 3 or 4 weeks. Just seems it really got out of...

I have noticed a little algae here and there and watched it grow. I'm sure most of this is fine but being new to saltwater I just want to be sure. I went on vacation for 4 days and had someone feed the fish while gone. It seems the algae has flourished in that time. What types of algae are...

Yea they should withstand more than my carpentry skills.

Patients is something I am definitely learning in this hobby. Yes I have wondered the same on that show. They do build beautiful tanks. I am betting they send someone to check on the tanks often afterwards for upkeep.

All I know is i have go coral I'm picking your brain lol. I have no knowledge of them and may go that direction after I am comfortable with saltwater life

[/URL][/IMG] A little progress on the new stand. I am not a welder by trade so please excuse the welds.

Thank you for all of the knowledge. I hope to go out and get a few of each of these soon. Do the uv filters help with this any? If so should I use one with snails or can I rely on snails alone? I don't not want too many snails maybe 5 of each or somewhere along that number.
