The hardware

All it takes is one fish to die to crash your tank. My bet is that the pennies leached enough copper to kill one fish and then the levels began increasing. That's when everything started dieing. Sorry for your loss. Good luck on the restart!

It's just a little extra room to set stuff like the powerhead for my closed loop, light ballasts, etc... It also enables me to fit two 24" long tanks in there for a sump and refugium setup if I decide to go with seperate ones.

I'm working on that at this moment :( You could always register :D

I've started my stand. I'm only working on it after work for a while then switching over to resealing my tank. Here are the pics: http://reefcentral.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=46686&thumb=1 The top is only sitting on the legs for now. It is getting glued and screwed tonight!
