    Thinking of Upgrading Tank to >120gal

    135 tank would be very nice of course depending on the space you have. Bigger tank, more inhabitants and more lighting is required. You have to weigh all the prameters. I have the 100g and a 36g corner. Prolly gonna make the 36g a hard coral tank after the new year. What do you intend on keeping...

    Thinking of Upgrading Tank to >120gal

    Originally posted by EUPHORIA my current tank is 48" long, so I don't want to upgrade and end up with a 48 again. I want to have a 6" long by 2" deep if possibe, and I don't care much for the height. So for a setup like that, let's say 72x24x18, do they make such tanks and how many gallons...

    What type of skimmer?

    My dad used to say, cheap merchadise is not good and good merchadise is not cheap. I believe that a skimmer is one of the most important investments you can have for a marine aquarium and you get what you pay for. If $$ is the issue, then go to the classifieds and get a 2nd hand unit dirt cheap...

    Thinking of Upgrading Tank to >120gal

    Originally posted by EUPHORIA I've heard that glass leaks after a while. I wouldn't not get glass because of leak worries. Glass has been around a LOT longer than acrylic and leak problems are minimal. IMO they are due to some "circumstance", poor stand construction, chipped glass, etc...

    ASM G-1X Skimmer...Likes vs dislikes?

    Originally posted by Irenicus I've heard some very encouraging things about ASM. Too many to list. But they have a cult following on another board. Don't forget about the ER's and Geo's cult... I have not seen one complaint about the ER's and ASM's..ever

    ASM G-1X Skimmer...Likes vs dislikes?

    I've heard good things about the ASM from reputable people on this board and I have heard so-so things about Reef Devils. I cleaned my so-so skimmer this morning and this picture is 10 hours later.

    Geting a tank local from glasscages

    You are correct Mr. Golfish, I only have one intake for the CL. I thought about putting a T on there but so far, any excess food gets picked off the screen without any problems. I may take your advice though. I'm just tired of plumbing at the moment :) As far as your embarrasing picture, my old...

    Geting a tank local from glasscages

    I used to have two tanks underneath now they are destined for the 36g. I built the one that is under the 100g now demisions are 48 x 16 x 16 a little over 53 gallons total. Usable is more like 40. Got to have some head space for back wash when the power goes out. Used to, the power went out ALL...

    oceans motions 4way

    Yep, they move ALOT of water. I've since added T's inside the tank to disperse some of the flow to keep the sand from stirring. I thought about the ocean motion setup for a bit. I'm just not ready to jump on the wagon just yet. My tank is drilled so I could use a 4-way. What size tank are you...
