Cmor Thanks for the info. We'd make sure to call ahead, so they can have a good selection. we'd send them a deposit, if the deal was sweet enough. We wouldn't expect anyone to order extra stock only to have a/the party become a no-show. Right on with the BR. There will be a lot of rock...

Cmor I checked out their web site....sounds like a good source. I'm going to email them to find out prices and possible discount on large order ;BR,LR,LS. Also I'll ask if hand picking is allowed. Nancy figures $80-$100 fuel cost round trip from VT. They have weekend hours, so traffic...

holy crap..............must have keyed something whilst I put down my glass of milk. I emailed & called Marco rock.... they're on the Cape.... a 2 day getaway...with fun for wife [just get away and 'do' something/ travel!!!] They never responded........F'm. Dr. Mac @ Pacific East in MD...

Well this thread peaked my attention, as I'm looking for a lot of BR/LR. Maybe going a great distance to hand pick one or two pieces is a PIA for some, but methinks the fella who's fussy and wants only the right piece, will do what it takes to get what he/she wants. Let's face it, were all...

Hey, that's not a stand, it's a custom cabinet and hood. Well done! Dave

Hey Kribbman Pop a Mich and relax........even if you don't have the best luck with this spawn. These little cichlids are some tough and resilient fish. Do your part with water parms & the rest will just happen. You don't have tank mates that will bother these guyz!!! Corys, neons won't come...

Update 3/28/08 Cellar support and stand in FF room are done. RO unit is up and running after lots of help and quick response from Don @ Air Water Ice. 4 -- 1 1/2" Sch. 40 Bulkheads came in from Coral Reef Supply. God, they're huge. Plan to drill today. Received skimmer pump: Sequence...

Update 3/14/08 Read read read....I'm putting most of my efforts [non-physical] into the planning stages of the Frag/Fuge part of this system, as I await talking to AFY about the final design for the big tank plumbing [they are about to send the specs to the production department]. I think it...

March 9, '08 update Picked up a 150g rubbermaid stock tank @ Tractor Supply. This will be the sump for the new tank, frag/fuge system. Began plumbing sump room for RO unit.....I ran the 1/4" tubing through floor to a bathroom sink cabinet that has the flexible chrome covered ~3/8" supply...

Patryugi I like that idea of mixing tap & RO to come up with a comprimise of chemicals for FW use. Our area [region] is high in limestone deposits, which contributes to our high ph. I don't know what causes the hardness. Is there an ideal for ph & GH, or do you tweak paramiters to suit your...

Ziggy, I know this is a bit late on the drilling, but I'm going to do a project very much like yours. What size hole[s] did you drill, and where did you get your drill? Thnx Dave

Update I finally put the last upright in the cellar [2x6x10] to finish the support wall for the closet tanks. Brought 8 pair of fancy guppies to the LFS to lighten the load for the upcoming moves. Found out from Tony @ Swampbottom.com that All-Glass tanks are tempered only on the...

Anne, Nine clowns must give you quite the show when they're out playing around. I have 5 in my 90g. Up until a few days ago, they would come right up to the corner of the tank when I walked by. There in a bit of a state of shock after my furniture re-location. I was removing a large...

Hey, Just got my RO/DI last night from Air, Water & Ice. I plan on using it for both FW and SW. I'll bypass the DI filter for FW use. Our well water is very hard 15GH/8.5 PH. Our test kit recomends R/O treatment to lower these numbers. It makes sense to me. Dave

OK Another week has past and I've not had much time to proceed with any carpentry work, but there has been a lot of thought and talk about where we're going here. The plants from Arizona are super, especially the Anubias planted in the drift wood! These two pieces will go in the 20g t...

I have pairs of Kribs in two different tanks. The pairs breed regularly, but their efforts result in feed for the tank mates. Males are very territorial, and will be joined by the female when protecting their nest. I've seen one male chase a large Convict round and round the tank when it...

Well no time for carpentry this weekend....horse stuff. But I did want to get some advice on a part of the pre-set up for the big tank, which involves moving the contents of a 55g into a 70g which is not set up, nor does it have a hood or lights. I have substrate, filtration [Tetra PF500] and...

Darn.......three pics were supposed to come/w post. Oh Well. OK it's Monday pm, here's a link to a page I set up........Ordered new Tank Pics

Yesterday, I constructed the support in the cellar for the pc room tanks, which needs to be done before I can begin the big job for the new tank. This portion of the house has 10' ceilings in cellar, hense the long partition lumber. I had to compromise the placement of the new partition so not...

Hey CCCAP When it comes time to put the frame/stand in the pc room for the sump and other tanks, I'll try to do as nice a job as you did on your stand/cabinet for your new tank. That was really nice work!! Dave

Here's a picture that shows the 20 & the 55g tanks, side by side. This is where the new cabinet and tank will be placed. The wrought iron rail is comming out...suppose it should've been removed long ago for the sake of viewing these two tanks. Anyway, after I remove the 20, and before I can...

Hey guyz I've been working 3rd shift/w overtime, so time for this project has been spent mostly on thought, not action. However, I've been prepping a 20g long to be moved to my wife's office @ work, This tank was brackish/w sailfin & Hondouran mollies, bumblebee's, and MT snails. I gifted...

We've wanted to do this for a long time, and actually had plans for a larger tank. This one will be tank enough, and should look nice when viewed from two rooms. It will be lit with 640w VHO. I told John S. that we wanted medium strength lighting, under a hood and matching cabinet. I was...

Hi folks Haven't posted in a while, but wanted to share our news. I just orderd a tank and cabinet for our home. It is 84x30x36, ~395 gallons. It will take the place of a current 55 gallon and a 20 long between our dining room and living room. There is a huge project ahead for us, as I must...
