I used just a Gliddens latex semi gloss finish and a 3/8 nap roller, did 3 quick coats all within about a hour, looks great.

I have been using one for over 3 years now on a 65 gallon tank, great results, the skimmer only pulls a little of scum out. I use mangroves to remove most of it. I have included a link http://www.midatlanticphotos.com/mem...05_sump_1.html http://www.midatlanticphotos.com/mem...06_sump_1.html

Based on the strenght of the wood, I figured there was not a chance of it breaking into pieces, and if for some reason it did, I would have just built another one. I worked on the building of it during the lunch hour and it took me about 30 days to cut and assemble and stain. I tested it for...

I have seen some different set ups at a few local stores, most have them in a over flow box or simular box, on some other tanks, some had MH Lighting above them, some also had either PC or VHO light, they all appeared ok, never saw/noticed any real growth on them. They always are small size...

Here is a few shots from my 65 Gallon tank with a Blue Background, prior to some changes to it

We have had ours for about 2 years, I use it for water for Saltwater tank only, freshwater tank water comes straight from the faucet, I use RO Right to add the minerals back to the water. The wife and daughter use the RO water for drinking water, they do not use it for mixing kool aid type...

Originally Posted by HappyVac Hmm...so would some good, solid maple cabinets be okay? It doesn't seem like they could support 90 gallons of water and rock :/ Solid Maple is a hard wood, would be good, better than most pine stands, most of the reasonable priced premade stands are made with 1...
