Where did you get the goass baffles from?

Where did you get the goass baffles from?

Any auto glass place will cut them for you

 

[Tonyscoots84]

i got mine from a member who is not on the site anymore but any place that sells glass can cut it for you at the dimensions you choose.

i asked the wifey if i could upgrade next year to a 120 (i would do a 180 but dont want to build another stand) so looks like if all goes well i will be upgrading to a 120 gallon rimless next year :biggrin:

so i realized my female bangaii has died and cannot find her. she gave the male her last set of eggs and the male has the babies in his mouth. so i went out tonite and bought a baby bangaii and a yellow tang in hopes of the baby bangaii being a female and taking over the role of the one that passed away. she has been laying eggs right after the babies where released every time... RIP

Nice update...btw how did you manage to grown your caps on your overflow? Did you glue a small piece with a frag plug onto the overflow?

That skimmer is too good. It will strip water of anything dirty. You will have to re-adjust it at a later date after it pulls all the gunk out of the water unless you are feeding heavy.
