Great idea, I hadn't heard this one before and I think I'll give it a shot...

Alright... update.... After going through problem after problem with my RODI unit, I managed to get the tank filled... added sand after that and learned a hard lesson... no matter what the $%$%$# bag says, rinse the sand... 3 days AFTER adding sand... the sump during that time...

A rubber duckie huh? Hadn't thought of that idea, but I might steal it. Well, since my updates on this board have been lacking, here goes... I picked up my glass yesterday and got it installed... of course it being the first sump I've built, I measured three times, yet somehow one of my...

Pictures will be added later in the week... for the LEDs, see Pasific Sun USA

Well... I hit a few snags on the way - mostly I ran out of money, but I'm back on track and after selling a bit of stuff, I got the money to finish my project. In the last four months, I've managed to pick up *almost* everything I need... Equipment list is as follows: 120g Marineland with...

Like it says at the top... Let me know what you got.

Already started one, but it's slow going in updates...

When my wife first said she wanted a tank, we looked at a 46g bowfront... After visiting the LFS, she decided she wanted a 120g... So, we purchased the tank, a stand, and a matching canopy to go with it. I researched lights (LED) for a couple months and ended up buying a set at around $1700...

Anyone have any experience with these or controllers they work best with? I found a smoking deal on these at my LFS here that was too good to pass up, so I picked up two of the 1400's today.

It's been a while since I put anything in here... mostly because there was nothing to add other than a couple things I picked up for the tank while waiting on the stand to be completed... Still looking like another month or so before I put water into the tank since I'm paying cash as I go - and...

ouch... :)

You're not the only one... I still gotta drop another $869 for a slave unit... luckily they're going to hold one for me (out of this shipment) after I leave a deposit, so I won't have to wait another 2 months ...

Sorry...I stand corrected yet again. I used information from a google search... stated water at 1.024 SG was ~11 lbs.... freakin' google and it's non-truthfulness :) Still, it weighs too much for me to try to lift.

Wouldn't happen to be Manhatten Reef would it? ;) I thought the shipment wasn't expected until Monday of next week.

How are you pulling that off - I'm not expecting mine for another week - or did you order yours individually from the Euro site? Let me know what you come up with. I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to work mine into my canopy. As for the person that asked for the site it's...
