Sold.

Hoping this qualifies as "reef related" even though it is currently set up as fresh water. For sale is this 1 year-old Lifeguard Aquatics system. My daughter has it set up as a fresh water, but since she is off at college she realizes she just can't care for it any longer. System includes...

you want a compound miter saw do not get one that is sliding it is more expensive and much more dangerous and not necessary if you have a table saw. for your table saw you want one with a table not these little portable work saws. in order to do your stand you're going to have to be able to...

Ok so slow down a bit... To do what you are talking about requires some skills and tools. Not impossible for a first-timer, but you have to know your limitations. Are you mister anal that measures everything to .00001" and cuts super clean lines? Or are you a typical house-owner who thinks...

There are many good options to get you to where you want to end up. However just don't use the stand in the photo :) 2x4's are going to probably be the cheapest option because let's face it - they're cheap and easy to work with. Just make sure of your joints. One way to strengthen any joint...

For your aluminum stand (the interior frame) you want t-slot corner cubes. You can build an entire frame out of the extrusion sections and corner cubes. (Google them) It is best if every corner cube has vertical support. When you are designing your frame if you have a corner cube anywhere...

So wait I'm confused... I just realized we're talking about a 24 x 15 x 15 tank, while the tank in the photo is more like 48 x 24 x 18. Which are we talking about?

I should add... I am saying you need to give up space within the stand because I am assuming you would use wood as your support material. If you know a welder, steel is a much better alternative and would take up much less space.

Plywood is perfect. Minimum 1/2" thickness and minimum 5 ply. Do not use other sheet goods like particle board or fiberboard. Yes. Aquariums are really heavy. Just the water weighs 62.4 lbs per cubic foot, so your awesome looking 24 x 15 x 15 tank is going to have about 200 lbs of water in...

That image is of a fail design, so do NOT use it as a blueprint for anything. That cabinet might have worked when the back was still on, but someone removed the back and in the process removed all the diagonal strength. First minor earthquake we get and that aquarium will be on the floor. I'd...

(1) It is pine. If you are going to finish it, it HAS to be painted. Pine, because of the sap content of the wood, will never take stain evenly. No matter what you do it will look like ass if you try to stain it. (2) In additional to it being pine, it is rough grade (knots, sapwood, bark)...

They come from one island in the Indian Ocean... and they are a deeper water fish that are relatively hard to find and catch. Whether or not you think it worth the price, I have seen them selling for a lot more than $1400. (Assuming these are wild caught and someone didn't suddenly figure out...

Sure, it's a free-for-all. What that means is that the fish will fight until the largest two beat the crap out of, and kill or chase out of the tank, all other clowns. I don't know why people have such a fascination about mixing clowns when they are known to be some of the most territorial and...

I had a pair of orange skunks in the 90's that were so aggressive in a 120 that they would beat the crap out of ANY fish I introduced into the tank. If the fish was small, they would grab it and stuff it into their anemone - game over. Eventually gave them away to a professional breeder friend...

Skunk clowns. I'm not joking. It is extremely difficult to mix different species of clowns in one tank - particularly if one group is already well-established in the tank.

Wait - just got the same error. @EyeReef just needs to go into the setup/options/attachments menu and increase the maximum attachment file size to something a little beefier. The default is only 1024 KB.

Hmmmm Im not having any problem on my cheap Android phone

To upload photos all you have to do is drag and drop from your desktop.

I gave up after you didn't respond to two separate requests for photos. Someone has more patience than I do.

A single 1.5" drain line has more volume capacity than 2 x 1" drain lines. So if I were to do a bean style setup, I would use the two 1" lines as the underwater / lower drains (with the screening) and the 1.5" as the emergency drain line. Very doable if you run your return on the exterior of...
