I am located in Merced, California. Obviously this cannot be shipped and I do not have the means to transport it. For pictures please view the Craigslist ad. The Ultimate Aquarium Setup You can email me questions through the craigslist listing, I do not check the my mail here frequently. Up...

Well the corners are rounded on the inside so I dont think that is why it cracked. I filled the crack with acrylic glue and glued an extra piece to the top and the bottom, from my understanding that should be more than sufficient. Thanks for all your input everyone.

Thats what I just did! Thanks for all of the help guys! hopefully it will hold.

yeah it has been filled for about 30min and seems to be doing fine. but better safe than sorry. The crack is not of the center brace so there is no bowing or anything.

I assume just fill the crack with acrylic glue?

Well I took my tank down to drill it for overflows and install an overflow box. While the seems for the overflow box were drying the top of the tank cracked. It was empty when it happened so it was not due to the force of the water. I had it sitting unevenly of chairs for about 3 hours (wont...

Sorry for the delay work has been crazy lately, but anyways things have calmed down now and this project is really ready to get going. I have set up my 55 gal quarantine already, so if anyone gets sick due to the stress of getting moved around I will be ready. I have started building a new...

I am planning on reaquascaping my tank anyways so I can plan accordingly. Thanks for you help guys, lots of good info.

I was going to get another mh but I have an acrylic tank and there is large brace that goes across the middle (about 18" wide) so a light in the middle would have to diffuse through the acrylic, plus I am worried about it harming the acrylic and heating the entire tank even more. With the light...

It is a standard 180 (72x24x24) I was thinking that they should be ok if placed high in the tank directly under a light.

Thats what I was thinking, and maybe put some low light corals in the middle where the light is not as intense. Any word on a clam? thanks

What corals could you have in a 180 with 2 @ 250watt mh (20,000k)? obviously they would be low light corals but I am looking for something hardy and easy to keep. Could you do a clam if placed high in the tank? thanks

That sounds like a plan, I will get a quarantine setup and then just have it ready if I need it. Thanks for all the input.

Thanks for all of your input guys, it is definitely very interesting stuff. Yeah all of my info on my tank is up to date, as far as fish I am fairly moderately stocked. I have a 4" regal blue tang, a 3" yellow tang, a 3.5" vlamingi tang, and a 4" checkerboard wrasse. I am worried with putting...

great thanks lando!

great thanks, i just wanted to make sure I am thinking of setting up a 55 with 2 250watt mh pendants with 20,000k bulbs. this should be enough light to do anything that i want right?

I heard that if you run 20,000k Metal halides that you don't need actinic supplementation, just wondering if there was any truth to this. thanks

Unfortunately when I started this hobby I did not know about the importance of quarantining livestock. Lucky I have not experienced many deaths but I feel that this is mainly because I stick with hardy species. However I want to start getting into some more difficult to keep species and want to...

I think that you might be able to house a valentini puffer or other small puffers like this (some one please verify this). A 29 gal tank is big enough for sea horses however they need to be in a species only tank, as they require different conditions then most fish. There is some debate as to...

Ive used oceanic for two years. When I first started the two options that I had locally were Oceanic and Instant Ocean and I heard for people having Cyano out breaks with IO but who knows if that is actually true (seems a little far fetched to me). Oceanic has worked fine for me, so if it works...

Your tank will most likely under go a mini cycle, because some of the beneficial bacterial will have died in transport. Add the rock to your tank, test your water parameters and once everything levels out you should be good for livestock.

Sicklid, thanks for those kind words. I will definitely be putting up more pictures soon to show everybody my progress. I am starting to look into new lighting systems, and I have some concerns. I want enough light to be able to do clams, so probably metal halides to vho t5. All of the 72"...

First off I would like to say hi to everybody and thank all of the great users for all of there input. I have been browsing these forums for months and think that this information priceless to our hobby. So thanks! Now to my questions. I have been considering redoing my system for quite some...
