You really think so? I thought that maybe this small of a tank wouldn’t need such a thickness... although, I assume you know more than I do and I like to overkill things just to be safe so I will take your advice :)

No, sorry. I really wish I did though, it could make things much easier :) The only real experience I have at all with this stuff was classes in high school and the county craftman's fair years and years ago. Since then it has only been a hobby. I more recently worked in IT and currently am...

The plans were made with my Photoshop skills and a few years experience with mechanical drawing/CAD :) I was bored last night and started brainstorming about DIY threads that I read here and just started playing around with Photoshop. Needless to say, by the time I was done... at least two...

I think the rule of thumb for heaters is 5 Watts of heat for each gallon. So, maybe use (2) 400Watt heaters... I've got a 180 on the 3rd floor running parallel to the floor joists This is just a thought Jester but I was under the impression that running the long side of the tank across multiple...

Sweet, thanks for the formula jagermeister! :)

^bump^ Anyone else? Any more suggestions at all?

Hello, I am planning a DIY sump/fuge for the 26 bowfront tank that I will be ordering sometime soon. Basically, I want to use it as a fuge but also to hide my heaters and stuff like a sump. I want to use my existing 10gal tank and an AquaClear Mini HOB filter in order to put them to good use...

Yeah, I was thinking about maybe some margarita's too just to give some more variety with the snails. Another question, what kind of star could I put in this tank eventually, what is a safe one for a smaller tank? I realize I will have to wait a while after the cycle is fully established. I...

I am still planning this tank (26gal bowfront ) but I was gathering info for my cleanup crew the other day and it sounds good from what I have read but... when I sit back and look at this list that I made now, it just sounds like a lot of things for this size tank. Who knows, I could be way...

Water weighs somewhere around 8.5lbs/gal, so a 100gal tank would weigh 850lbs with just the water ( not including the tank itself ). I am no engineer but from my understanding, as far as the rock and sand goes, it wont reduce your weight, it ADDS to it since the rock and sand have a higher...

Keep in mind that I know nothing about Octopuses but your post made me curious. Thanks to google I found a pretty good website on them, Click Here. Based on what I read... lighting is not really important. What is important is the oxygen level of the tank, keep it high! Copper is deadly as are...

Yeah snails are quite busy little guys I would say! I have a 10gal FW that I just let them breed like mad and they do so just enough that I use them to feed my loaches pretty regularly, hehe :)

Hmmm, is it difficult to drill through live rock? My LFS sells the Fiji LR so that it the type I will be buying if it matters. Would you need any special drill bit?

That’s news to me. I always thought lava rock, and therefore lava sand, were completely insoluble and inert.

I know this is off topic but since I am planning to buy a 26bow and you have one already... can you please tell me what the width dimensions are at the smallest and largest point? I have been trying to plan out my setup but cant find this info anywhere. I think the max width is around 15" but...

How do you mix the LS in with the regular sand? Would you put a layer of LS on top of the rest or is there any benefit to mixing them together thoroughly?

I am wondering how you would go about securing live rock pieces together when stacking them and making "bridges" and such...

i had such problems with it What sort of problems? Were they SW related problems or did you just not like the unit itself. I have had the 404 in my 55 FW setup for months now and it's hard for me to think of anything wrong with it so far...

Ok, I have been doing some reading up :)Fish: I now think that I may forget the chromis :( I keep reading that it likes groups and I don’t want to give him a complex or anything by sitting there all by himself. I also can't fit a bunch of them in my planned tank. I am leaning more toward the...
