The 75g is going to have a SFE, indigo hamlet, toby puffer and antennata lion or clarkii clown depending on my equipment.
then the other 29g and 26 bow, i havent decided yet but i may move the 10 into the 26 and turn the 10g into a mantis tank and make the 29g a reef. Not too sure on those ones.

That was the thread that got me thinkng
It looks pretty simple, in theory, but will it hold water in the end.(lol)
300 gallons x 8.5lbs= 2460 with just water in it! what are the usual dimesions fo 300 gallon, I suppose I could look it up on line.....
I like how (I forget the name of the guy)built the stand and tank all together as one. Much more stable.....by building the tank stand first with lots of support for the glass bottom of the tank.
My mom is a stain glass artist, (wonder if she could help me with the drillin)I would like to have a reef drilled tank.....I'm tired of looking at the guts of my tank. I have never had a pre drilled tank. Do you like them??? or do you prefer sumps? :notsure:

Because i keep my tanks pretty simple, i use HOB w/o a sump. But if i were you id go for drilled it would make the sump cheaper to setup because you would not need an overflow. And 300 is a big undertaking. I would start with building a 10g or so to see if you can do it successfully. then build a Very secure, strong and LEVEL stand. like i said 300g is nothing to play around with that could become a flood quite easily.

That's one thing that makes me nervous....cutting a hole in the bottom of you tank sounds like a horrible Idea :scared: How do you seal the sump to the main tank?......there's probably threads on here..... :thinking: and what security do you have that that seal won't bust
thats what worry's me about drilled tanks.

well,........ heres my secret!
I take 1,... then another ,..... and put them in the same tank!!!
just kidding. but that is all there is to it. They are Echinaster Spinulosus.
We collected them from a mangrove swamp where there happen to be hundreds and when brought back to the tank they took to feeding right away. A mussel each every other week. One night i see one of them look like they are exploding. A month later we see hundreds of baby stars all over the place!

:hilarious
So having a tank with a hundred stars in it there is bound to be a male and a female.
i have read that there is no way to tell a female from a male...is this true? :thinking:
