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...

I should also point out that this is for pure freshwater... I forgot to take into account the dissolved salts in the water, bringing the total to around 11 lbs per gallon ;) (at 1.022 sg) It's those little things that are always screwing me up - I most likely would have remembered if I was...

Well... the reason that isn't really an option for larger WC's... or even smaller ones for that matter... 8.8 lbs per gallon of water x 10g = 88 lbs... and that's for just 10 gallons... Now, I don't consider myself a weakling by any means, but I'll be looking forward to 30g waterchanges...

From what I've read - I'm thinking the suspended sand is for a plenum in his DSB. I was also considering doing this myself in a fuge seperate from the sump.

Here is the one I picked up: Reef Octopus Extreme 200 Protein Skimmer by CoralVue* - AquaCave Like I said, I found an online coupon and got hooked up with free shipping on top of that... I'd love to post some pics of it - as soon as my tank, stand, canopy, sump, lights, and skimmer show up...

I picked up a Octopus Extreme 200 from them about a week or so ago - they had the best pricing on the internet that I could find.... It cost me about $100 more than the one you linked to... I figured for an eventual reef tank, the Extreme 200 (which is going in a 120g w/ sump and fuge) would...

Ahhhh... the PIT maneuver is easy.... driving is the hard part... ex. PIT - purposely steer into another car and push it off the road Driving - try not to get steered into or pushed off the road by the 45637454 morons texting, doing makeup, eating a burger, reading a book, playing with...

This is a good read before anyone starts preparing for a fish tank. I started reading up sometime in November. Purchasing parts began in December. I still don't have everything I think I need (and obviously those things that I don't know I need yet). On that point - if you research like you...

So after payday this week, I've added the following: Octopus 200 Extreme skimmer 2 Koralia 4's (debating about adding a third, but haven't decided yet) 1 Koralia 1 - for mixing the salt I'm planning on a Brute 32g can to mix my salt in - does anyone else use this can? If so, what size heater...

Still waiting on the stand before I pick the tank up. Looks like sometime within the next month - then I have to get the setup plumbed... It's going slow, but after I start filling with water it'll move pretty quick.

I'm still working on my equipment list for my tank and was considering the following items: Heater: JBJ True Temp Heating System w/ Controller & Titanium Heating Element Fuge Light: JBJ Nano-Glo 4-LED Magnetic Refugium Light I'd love to hear what you guys think about this stuff - I would...
