That would be cool, but I don't have an Apex. Is there another way to go about it?

Hey guys, I'm wanting to install lighting in my stand that comes on when I open the door. Any ideas? If you've done something like that, please post pics. Thanks!

Thanks everyone! Got the stand started today. It's fully reinforced. Just got to put the hinges on the door and cut the holes for plumbing and wires. I'll be staining and sealing the outside and painting the inside white (which should contrast with the black and red sump). I should also...

I just moved here from Ohio, so I've been without a tank for a few months now. I brought a Red Sea 130 (34g AIO cube) with me that I planned to set up in our new apartment...but I won the Reef Savvy 50g Cube in the MACNA raffle, so now I'm going to set that one up instead! (...who knows...the...

Well, my aquascape kit from Marcorocks.com came in today, so it's time to start playing with rocks. :D What kind of aquascapes do you guys recommend for a cube (24"w x 24"l x 20"t)? I've been looking at some different scapes for ideas, but still not sure. I've thought about doing a bonsai type...

WOW!!!! Now THAT'S a great list to have! That will keep me running for a while for sure!! Thanks!

I'm trying to get around to visiting all the great stores in the SoCal area. So when I say "driving distance," I'm thinking within 2 hours. LOL Which one is your favorite, and why? I'm hoping this will be a fun thread! :D :D

And see...I really need a sump for that new tank! LOL I'm excited about hanging out with you guys. Hopefully I'll be able to make it this next month. I'm planning for it now. :D

Originally, I'm from Louisiana, but moved here from Ohio. We've also lived in Virginia and Mexico...we're hoping to stay here permanently (I'm tired of moving). :D

Doh! I just saw this. Maybe I can make it next month. By the way, are these meetings kid friendly? I might bring my daughter sometime.

Thanks for the recommendations everyone!

I'm actually brand new to Ontario (and California...definitely not Canada). :-) We just moved into our apartment on August 31st.

Following. I've used the templates, but mostly just because they were there (and I did tweak them a bit). I'm interested in trying that new one.

Welcome! I'm new here too, but this is a great group to be a part of!

Thanks, Nick! I was kind of thinking something along those lines (but, like I said, I don't really know what I'm doing). According to Felix at Reef Savvy, it should work fine. The crate is made of birch grade plywood and solid white pine. I'll shoot you a pm.

Wow! Was just checking out the stuff by Advanced Acrylics. Sweet setups for sure!

Thanks! Someone was recommending that I check out their sapphire series. I like their emerald line already. I'll be looking at them as an option for sure. I'm also thinking about BioTek, GeosReef, and Synergy (these are the ones I know), but I'm looking at other options too (like Advanced...

Awesome!! Thanks! I'll check them out!

This is going to be awesome! Following!

I'm looking to basically use this crate as a stand for the new tank. I know I'll need to reinforce it, and I'll need to make some modifications (put a door on it, drill it for plumbing, etc.). I also want to stain it and seal it. ...but I'm not a carpenter by any means, and I'm pretty sure...
