Hey Guys, Here's a list of fish I'd like to add to my 125 gallon. Obviously, these would be added over probably a years time with the Tangs being added all at once and pretty close to the last fish. Not sure how much live rock I'll have in the main display, but I know I'm going to leave...

In anticipation of my new tank, did a little organization with my equipment and cords. Oh and the good news, I have extra wire chase/ducting if someone needs some. I'd be happy to share. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2

So I traded some for some great live rock from a member on this forum. He had it running continually in a sump after he broke down a large tank and I immediately placed the pieces in some trash cans with salt water and power heads. I added the 20 lbs of premium dry rock cuts I ordered from...

So I've used magic sliders on several pieces of furniture over the years. You know, the ceramic discs, rectangles, triangles, etc. that allow for ease of movement over flooring. I've never had a problem with those pieces of furniture I've used them on so it got me to thinking..... not...

Hey Guys, I just "traded" for a bunch of outstanding live rock from a member on this site! He had it in his 100 gallon sump after breaking down a tank. Current Build: http://www.socalireefs.com/forums/showthread.php?43882-120-Gallon-Build-in-HB I currently have it in two trash cans with...

Hey Guys, I will be using two Ecotech Radions on my new 120 gallon build. I'm getting ever so close to getting the tank up and running, so I am trying to firm up all the final details. I do not like the current offering of rails from Ecotech for their Radions. AI makes a rail system for...

Hi Everyone, I have a Innovative Marine 30 gallon (All In One) Cube with a mixed reef of SPS, LPS and Softies. Everything is healthy and happy, but due to my house being tented, I need to get this tank out and when I come home, I will be finishing my 120 gallon build! I have a mated pair of...

Hi Everyone. I am moving my build thread to the appropriate forum (After my learning curve), but wanted to share my build and progress as I move along. I have learned so much in this forum and truly appreciate all the patience and support that the members of this site have provided for me! My...

Hey Guys, So I've completed the structural portion of my DIY wood stand. I've read so many conflicting opinions, I would like some input from those of you who have experience. I built my stand to support a 120 gallon, 48 x 24 x 24 rimless tank. I've attached pictures. Top is framed of 2 x...

Hi Everyone. I picked up my new skimmer, a Seaside Aquatics ES2, and knowing how everyone likes pictures, I thought I'd share a couple. This is a new model, but I have heard and read quite a few positive comments about their skimmer, so this was an easy decision. They rate it for 300 gallons...

Hi All, I'm trying not to obsess, but I'm prety much down to a skimmer and I'll have all the equipment needed to begin my build on a new 120. I have the opportunity to pick up a new AquaC ev 240 for less than $200 bucks without the pump or a Seaside Aquatics ES2 for $350 with the pump. Price...

Hey Guys, I wanted to leave a quick note about one of the sponsors of this site, OC Reef Madness. I'm putting together equipment to build a 120 gallon mixed reef tank and was looking for a good deal on an Ecotech Radion and MP40. Tony from OC Reef Madness contacted me and not only found me a...

Need some quick input. As I upgrade to a larger tank, I'd like to pick up another Ecotech Radion to pair with my current Ecotech Radion Gen 1 with TIR lenses. I've found some great vendors through this site who have great prices, but am wondering if anyone has concerns with trying to put a Gen...

Hey Everyone. As I've researched skimmers, I have come across several that have an external pump and piping with a gate valve. I've watched several videos of them on YouTube and noticed that they all have water flowing through the gate valve adding to splashing and noise within the sump. Is...

O.K., well I had recently purchased a Bubble Magus 180ex from a kind member of this forum and today it met with a tragic garage floor accident. Ugh. Anyway, I will now have to purchase Protein Skimmer for my 120 gallon mixed reef build. See thread...

Here's a couple of pictures of my new AA sump. It is 36" x 17 x 17 1/2 tall. As you can see it is a 3 section sump, modeled after the trigger systems sump. It is designed to be run at 11" of water in the first two sections, and probably 8" or so in the pump return section. During the leak...

Hi Everyone! I'm picking up my custom skimmer tomorrow, 36" long, 17" deep, and 17" high. It will be going under my new 120 gallon rimless. I am currently kicking around designing and building my own stand but in the interest of saving times, not to mention potential injury, I'm wondering if...

Hey Guys, I'm firming up the details for the 120 gallon I am planning on ordering soon. It's going to be a 120 gallon mixed reef tank with a corner overflow. I'm planning on doing a Durso drain with a split return. I was planning on using a Mag Drive 18 or similar return pump and am...

Hey Everyone. Well, I've almost done it.... talked my wife into a bigger tank. I've been stockpiling equipment in anticipation, and have a ways to go, but still, I think I had a major break through today! My build is going to be a slow one, but once it is up and running, I will be...
