    New setup: AA 54x24x20 + 50x16x16 sump

    Oh thanks for clarifying. As mentioned: I added a plywood back, as well as a plywood top, and a pair of diagonal braces to each side. Today I added some angle brackets to all corners just for peace of mind. That should be enough? If not, I’ll just throw it out and buy 8020

    New setup: AA 54x24x20 + 50x16x16 sump

    You’ll have to explain “rack” I’m no craftsman; I simply got the plans offline and taught myself how to use the pocket hole tool. This is the second stand I’ve ever built; I can say that the first stand I built looked like crap and had some slop in the corners. This time around I used wood glue...

    New setup: AA 54x24x20 + 50x16x16 sump

    Are you referring to the pocket screws ? the rear is wrapped in plywood. I added a center brace as with it in place the sump wouldn’t fit.

    New setup: AA 54x24x20 + 50x16x16 sump

    Moved, sold my old tank (36x30x20). I would’ve rather kept a 30 deep, but the wall picked out didn’t accommodate a deeper tank. So c’est la vie. first time building my own stand, so be nice. I am currently soaking the rock in RODI after a 2 day muriatic acid + week long bleach bath

    second floor apartment + reef tank

    So these are the two areas Im looking at placing the tank. One is in a small recessed area right beside the fireplace, adjacent to the balcony door. The second is a corner in a small den room, with one wall that separates the two units. Between the two, which one would be safer to place the...

    so the tank i was surprised with is a 42/36/12 with a 30 gallon sump. Do you think it should spread over a wide enough area?

    second floor apartment + reef tank

    I already mentioned it to the landlord, and the response I got was that its your home. Youre free make yourself comfortable. They didnt forbid the aquarium. My intention was to place it in a corner, and not really in the center of a wall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    second floor apartment + reef tank

    Generally speaking, what is the biggest size tank you would place onto a second floor apartment/condo? I'm moving to a new two story townhouse, but it's a second floor unit. Would you feel comfortable with a reef tank that was <100gallons? Or should it be even less than that?

    Fiance move in, Cant have tank! tank breakdown =(

    not to derail the thread, but if she's moving into your place, why do you have to sell the tank? (I know she's your fiance, so no disrespect, but that just seems a bit callous of her)

    What's worse?

    But in all seriousness, a scratch is much more irritating. A scratched tank is due to my mistake. But a scratched car means someone else either used your car for leverage and/or just doesn't care for other people's property. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    matted file fish experience

    One other thing to consider with file fish is their appetite for coral. Although it's known that they may go for zoas, I had one that annihilated all of my acans in one night. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Titanium Heaters Blah

    Probably isn't the best (or most economic) practice, but I usually just buy new heaters every winter and relegate the older ones to backup heaters. On topic I've never experienced the issue the OPs heaters had.
