Tank-build re-engaged: http://www.reefs.org/forums/topic91376.html#p1582710 Before I buy things like a return pump, I need to decide on a method of filtration. Wet/dry? Refugium? Other? Can you recommend what type of filtration system you would use for this setup? 2 built-in overflows in a...

Well, the tank hasn't been filled yet. :oops: Still working on the main house slowly but surely. The Sikkens paint fumes would wipe out a tank in an afternoon :lol: But... Here is the plan currently: I am going to move the tank to the other side of the fireplace (right side instead of left...

I have been using 1 Vortech in a 4'x2'x2' 120 gallon tank for at least a year. -I love the water flow .... nice wide stream versus a sharp jetstream. -I like the lack of heat -I like not worrying about stray electricity getting into the tank as the Vortech ages -There is plenty of flow, so...

Hi everyone....it's been awhile since I have visited the forums :? Busy summer :) I am thinking about how to get my 9 foot tank water going ( http://www.reefs.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=91376 ). I still have to choose lights and get the sump pump, but thought I might be able to start tank...

I have good news on that front (I had that same concern): There are thick plywood stiles that would be behind the cracks between the doors, so there should be no light escaping. The tank stand is built, and we would be putting 3/4" mahogany on the entire front of the cabinet in the form of faux...

I have drawn up the finished cabinet look with inset doors as another option. Which do you like better, the inset doors look shown below or the surface mount doors shown in pictures above this post?

Well, I just looked at the still crated aquarium, and noticed that they built that to the specifications I asked for, but the stand layout for the stiles is different. There are cross braces on the top of the aquarium such that there are 4 holes across the 9 foot top of the tank. It would be...

Which door layout do you think looks better? 3 double doors as shown above in the previous post or 4 single doors as shown below? The original design was for 4 doors, but they built a three bay stand. Three doors would make the doors too big. 4 doors (original plan) are large but we'd have...

I have had great success with putting 10 peppermint shrimp in my 30 gallon tank and seeing large aiptasia (glass anemones) DISAPPEAR. This is after taking advice in these forums on how to deal with this nuisance. I also have my large hermit crabs (the 3 that have taken over large mexican turbo...

No problems since I got one about 6 months ago (in August 2006). I have one on my 120 gallon. I would buy again (and probably will). The price is the only problem I have with it. I can get around any noise issues by mounting location.....other things are louder. It MIGHT not be overkill for a...

I have one growing behind my overflow skimmer....just noticed him the other day. I will have to remove him too one day I am sure. I stepped on one of these buggers once when snorkeling. You don't want to get stuck by one of their barbed spines. That is the key thing to remember....BARBED...

Check your email for details...I'd rather not specify my address with all the death threats I get here in the forums :wink:

750 euro would be $971.62 today. Either way that is a beautiful tang....and expensive. Very nice photography and aquarium!
