If you could put a link up to the 5 gallon jug skimmer I would greatly appreciate it. I like DIY projects but I can't find the one you are talking about. Thanks Sorry mr X, not trying to steal your thread but it was driving me crazy that I couldn't find his post. BTW I can't wait to see your...

Thanks for all the great ideas. I think it would be cool to have some snails, beta, small school of ? Fish. Or maybe go with frogs. I guess I need to take my boys to the LFS to get some ideas on what they want and get the tank setup for cycling. If anybody else has a suggestion please share, its...

I want to start a 10 gallon aquarium for my boys ( 7&8 years old) room. They love my 72 gallon saltwater tank and want an aquarium in their room. It has been a long time since I had a freshwater community tank. I was just looking for some cool fish ideas that will not outgrow a 10 gallon...

Love the puffer! I want one but worried he would not get along with my other fish.

My daughters piranha!

Carey, I just wanted to let you know I was planning on purchasing a new RO/DI unit from BRS however I had an unexpected expense yesterday so I will have to wait. I would be interested in a near future group buy again if you decide to start another. The unexpected expense was buying my wife a...

Just joining in to keep updated on this thread. Looks like a great project. I built a 55 gal in the wall for someone about 20 years ago and it's still there.

WOW congratulations Carey. To bad you didn't order for all of us. Lol

Been very busy and working late but off on Friday so I will take a closer look then. I have my eye on something so we will see. I will let you know Carey.

It had a metal frame around it instead of the usual plastic but the welds look like a 5 year old did them. I would have to cut the metal frame off to remove the plywood background then re-weld all of it. The metal is even on the corners of the tank and I can't inspect the joints. He said it was...

Well after looking at the tank I decided not to buy. It appears to be a DIY tank build and then modified at a later date for a plywood painted background. I would have to do some surgery to the tank to get the plywood out and it overall doesn't look very well taken care of. So dirty i could not...

I was just offered from a friend of a friend to buy his aquarium for $ 100. Wants me to look at it tonight. Besides a leak test and looking for scratches what other advice can you give me? Only info I have so far is it's a glass aquarium and it's about 8 feet long. I'm thinking 200 + gallons. No...

You should have mine now. Sent it a few minutes ago. I signed it "Salty" so you knew who it was. Thanks, Your straggler

I love the rock work with the boat! Looks great!
