    Reefready or Not??

    I'm not sure about All-Glass tanks, you can check with your dealer, or email All-Glass, or use a 1/16" drill bit to make the hole yourself. The holes on mine are located on the underside of the return elbow, in the corner. All you need is a small hole there to break the siphon, so when when...

    Reefready or Not??

    Oceanic reef ready tanks are built with a small hole drilled into the return elbow for the express purpose of not allowing the tank to siphon drain into the sump and create an overflow. I know this for a fact, have had a 180 and currently a 120, and have NEVER had a problem with the sump...

    I need some advise!!

    Why not buy a reef ready tank to begin with, save yourself a major headache. You'll never find anyone to drill your tank and guarantee to replace it if it cracks or breaks while they're drilling it. A reef ready tank comes with the overflows already built into it, its engineered by the...

    how many guys do you think it would take to move a 300g tank

    you should always have one or two extra guys to help with a big tank. At least 4 guys for a 180, no sense in someone rupturing a disc, and thats a real possibility. Vacuum handles are available at most "Rent All" shops, they are a major plus when trying to handle and move something that large...

    I Wanna build a 55 gallon reef tank, but where do i start?

    Two good books to start with are- " The New Marine Aquarium", by Michael S. Paletta, and "The Conscientious Marine Aquarist", by Robert M. Fenner. Also do yourself a giant favor, when you decide on the brand of tank you're going to purchase [Oceanic, All-Glass, etc] buy a "reef ready" tank, one...
