Len Where did you pick up the soundproofing material on your doors?

I sent my deposit via paypal to SoCal Creations to start building my 26x26x24 aquarium. After getting some good advice from this forum this is how I’m going to do it. The overflow box will be plumbed for a 1” return, 1” return from the closed loop using a Quiet One 6000 pump and an Ocean Motions...

Len How long did it take for Aquarium Obsessed to respone to your request for a quote on building an aquarium? I sent them an email last Monday and called Thursday and left a message and still have not recieved a rely.

Thanks Len, I'm going to use the gate valve and DIY strainer and have the emergency drain drilled. Do you think a could get away with a 1" emergency drain or should i make it the same size as the main drain(1.5")? Once i get the tank up and running i'll let you know how it goes.

Len, This is the first I've heard of this pratice. Are you using it? My tank is not built yet, I think I'm going to try it. I like the thought of a quieter overflow box and reduced bubbles. Would you put a strainer on the bulkhead drain?

My new tank will have one 1.5 drain. Can someone please advise me to what size pvc pipe and union fitting i should use to make a Stockman Standpipe. Thanks, David

I have a RIO 2100 i've been using to mix salt since 99' with no problems

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'm going to go with the 1.5 drain and two 3/4 returns. I'm also going to see if glasscages will build my tank with the overflow box glued to outside back of the tank. The overflow box will measure 16lx10hx5d. With overflow slits cut into the back wall of the...

I'm planning a new acrylic aquarium thats going to measure 24lx20hx20d (approx 45gals) with a built in overflow. I was thinking of a 1 inch drain and two 3/4 inch returns that come up through the overflow. Does anyone see a problem with this return setup? Also has anyone ordered an aquarium...

Thanks podman for the reply, I have to ask, what the hell is that picture of you have under your screen name? David

How long does it take for the Euro Reef to produce any skimmate? I've had the 6-2+ running since Weds. with no luck. The collection cup neck is covered with stuff, but nothing is overflowing into to cup. I have it skimming a 75gal with 90lbs of LR, one purple tang, two common clowns, one...
