there's no catch, no scam, etc... free. baby is on the way, we're moving, and I just don't have the time, energy, nor space to store the tank until I can set it up again in the future. you'll have to come with your own vehicle to move it, buckets for black sand, hose to siphon it (sorry, i'm...

my 2nd WP40 died. only one still going strong is the WP60 churning away. the 180 is struggling to sustain anything other than fish and softies, but those seem to be doing ok. either way, i need something to get some cross flow in addition to the solo 60 in the corner. let me know what you've...

you can see the pics of the build here. the tank has been sitting in the front yard (covered) for several months now. it's NOT "complete" as i've pulled some plumbing, but it's mostly there. Rather than going through the hassle of tire kickers, and potential flakes, and bargaining, etc. i'm...

so, a few years ago we moved Omar's leaking 120 tank to my house. this was while my 100g was in full swing along with the 40g frag tank. life was pretty carefee without real big plans. I had plans of striping off the silicon and resealing it since the glass is in great shape, just the seals...

I'm finally getting around to making a watch mixing / changing station, which should help greatly in actually staying on top of that for the 180g. One problem I'm anticipating is how to heat the water. With temperature low as it is, it would basically have to be brought up to temp during the...

So, I've got 4 pieces of RO/DI equipment, and I need help putting them all together in some cohesive fashion. it's probably going to be hard without photos, and I'll add those later, but hopefully some people can get me started. standard BRS type 3 chamber RODI setup standard BRS type 2...

so, like 8 months after the 180g has been "running", i finally got around to getting the refugium section of the sump wet this weekend. tossed in the clump of chaeto that's been sitting in the overflow. i wanna put something in there, but not sure what. suggestions? oh, and anyone in or...

just passing the info on. 32g brute. 23.99, normally 55

ok, this is a "make the girlfriend happy" sale. i (she) wants it out of here and out of here fast. you can see the original build thread here here's the current dirty photos it's the tank, the stand, and the sump. i'm keeping the return pump for a mixing station, as well as the...

I think it's 30g, 30" x 18" x 12", stand is 31" tall since getting the 180g underway, i've had very little time to deal with fish stuff in general, and definitely no time to connect up the frag tank next to the 180 like i originally planned to. anyways, acrylic frag tank. there's no scratches...

thanks to gumbii, I have way too many chicks (12) at the house. the woman has decided to get rid of some of em - (FREE) i've got 5 black-stars that are ~4 months old, probably getting ready to start laying. these guys are well adjusted, do not peck, will allow you to pick them up and turn them...

pretty straight forward, Halo Delux brand new in box, $300. you can read all about the technical specs here, but i know there are several forum members who have these now and really like em. I really like my 3 over my 180. originally got 4 because i thought i'd need it to cover the 180, but...

don't judge the rock "formation", that's basically where all the rocks ended up after i took it all out to catch the melanurus wrasse, and then put all the rocks back in so they don't dry out. BYOB (bring your own bucket) - all mine have been re-purposed by the woman for gardening. free sand...

i've got a Sedra 9000 pump used on the Warner Marine AS200 skimmer, and it's making more noise than it should. i've taken it apart and cleaned it, but the noise was still pretty loud. I *think* it's the magnetic spindle that's causing it, but i don't want to order a new one from MD until i...

what do you guys think? http://docs.cpuc.ca.gov/PublishedDocs/Efile/G000/M088/K661/88661492.PDF it would raise the rate for tier 1 use, and compress tier 2, 3, and 4 into one, at a much (MUCH) lower cost. this is huge for us with tanks since we're probably all well into tier 4. i hope the...

so, the 180g i got from steve has pretty cruddy caulking job on the interior (no fault of steve, just manufacturer sloppiness). i'm getting really close to actually getting the tank together, and one of the things i was considering was taking a razor to the interior edges of the tank, cut out...

stand is for a standard 2x2x6 180g tank, and the sump is a standard 60g long glass tank with 3 chambers. this was Steve's old stand/sump. stand is sturdy, built out of 2x4s, sealed / painted white on the inside, and the skin is stained plywood with the doors magnetically attached. the left and...

their normal prices aren't bad, but are pretty much unbeatable when they have their 20% off coupon sales. anyone looking to weld up their own tank stands, this would be a great time to buy.. :) here's prices per stick when I did a price check several months back. (20 foot lengths, they also...
