Possible to still get in this?

sorry no updates. i actually ended up selling this tank and i'm currently working on gathering equipment for a 6ft 125/150

can anyone out there give me some help on how to setup an ato on a 24g aquapod? i was planning a autotopoff.com float switch and an aqualifter pump with a small reservoir in the stand. mainly just wondering how i should attach the float switch and what chamber to put it in?

thanks guys! anyone have any suggestions? also with the sump being in the basement all of the plumbing for the house is pretty accessible, i'm going to and another split to the return to the drain pipe so can flip a couple valves to drain the water from the return section of the sump. then i can...

hello everyone just wanted to get some feedback and help with plans on my next project. I currently have a 72 bow front fowlr in my bedroom and a 24g aquapod with some beginner corals. I am in the process of planing my upgrade from the 72 to a 150 or possible a 210 (someone wants to trade a 210...

ok will do! thanks for the help! now that i have a plan for the stand the next thing i'm wondering about is how to plumb it? its setup now with a durso and return in each overflow i could leave it like that but i was thinking of going with something that is a little less noisy and safer like a...

alright i can handle that only problem is i need at least some kind of opening on the back for power cords. the outlet will be behind the tank just to the left of center.

gotcha i understand now, was having trouble picturing it in my head before. i think i will do 3 each way. i would rather be safe than sorry. what would be the best way to do the back brace? i don't have a way of cutting wood here so anything i get i will have to have cut at lowes if that makes a...

im not to worried with the working around the front post. i can deal with that i just don't want 120+ gallons of water on my floor lol. i know this is a lot to ask but anyone think they could do a paint picture of where i should add braces? never built a stand but im pretty handy so i think i...

all taped off for paint. decided i would keep it so i can see in the back of the overflows if necessary. about half way through painting. and a pic from the back of the stand. any ideas on how i should reinforce it? it has no middle brace and only touches the tank around the edges. i was...

i figured i should post up a build for my new tank. i picked up a 120 gallon 4ft by 2ft dual overflow tank last week. i am going to be upgrading from my 72 into this so most of the equipment from that will be reused. the tank came with a stand (needs to be reinforced i think) and lights (for...

figured i should get some new pics in here since i got a couple new things today. Candy cane some zoas more zoas and some kind of yellow polyps?

figured i should post some pics! Tomini Tang the new sally lightfoot crab. this shows how big he is. that tang is 3-4 inches and a full tank shot.

so i know its been a long time since i updated this. ill try to get some pics. but i have a question for everyone here. i am considering going to a slightly more aggressive tank. current stock is 2 clowns tomini tang 8 line wrasse emerald crab huge sally light foot crab various snails and...

im from greensboro but spend most of my time in salt lake city, utah. my two salt tanks are in utah but i tinker with moms freshwater while i am in nc. anyone know of some good lfs close to greensboro?

small update. moved my power strips to the wall behind the tank. this makes it much easier to get to and is up away from water. also got rid of the ugly clamp i was using for the fuge light and added some egg crate to keep the cheato from getting over the baffle into the return section.

thanks man! i can't wait to get it setup! heres the koralia. vinegar works wonders! lol

can't wait to see how the reactor turns out! i might have to build one of those myself :)

yeah i really didn't need another tank or plan on getting one but i saw this and had to have it lol. for cleaning i just used a little bit of vinegar and paper towels. notice the koralia in the first pic? ill post an after cleaning pic in a few mins. it looks brand new!

i think they will be able to get the one you want. they had 2 of them a couple weeks ago but they are long gone.

i can probably help you find another. my lfs gets them in pretty often and they ship out fish all the time to different places.

cleaned the tank up some today. also took some pics of the back section. looking for suggestions on how i should set it up.

is there anyway i can test the ballast to see if its good before i do anything?

hmm i may rewire the whole thing then. i don't think it is worth it to get a new ballast. i just wanted to fix this so i can sell it to get some of the money back i spent on the tank that it came with. i'm planning to do an led panel instead of this.

yeah most likely that is what i will do. i was just thinking of different options to do with it. i have a friend that drills tanks so that wouldn't be a problem. if i leave it the way it is how should i setup the back? right now all it has is a bubble trap before the return so i can make some...
