Wont affect water parameters?????

A buddy called me the other day, he was cleaning out a warehouse and he found all these crates with this cool coral skeletons that was wrapped in newspapers from the 70s that came from Australia. Do you think it's safe to add to a tank? They're cool looking...

Well that would be nice but I called BRS today and they said use rubber coupling from Lowes.. For 600.00 I don't want to have to have what I would say is a leak point..... There should be a better way. Why doesn't someone sell actual adapters?

Still on this skimmer thing, want to do an external set up to keep room for live rock and macro in the sump. Looked at the reef octopus but says metric plumbing, anyone have experience with this?

Thanks...

Anyone have a diagram of how to keep the skimmer out of the sump? Want to keep out of the sump because once in sump/ in stand and tanks moved against wall = problems for long term. Inside stand H = 33".. Plus would leave room for nice refuge in my sump tank! : )

Also, how many GPH should I be moving on 70 tank with 20 gallon sump?

Ok, trying to get the last few things together for this build. I want to start my wiring and plumbing but need my sump pump and skimmer. This skimmer thing is a hard choice to make. Any other Ideas on skimmers? I think I would like to keep it out of sump to keep room for live rock/ macro. 70...

Don't want something that saves a buck and creates a headache

No Idea where to go with this, had an all in one system. Now doing a 70 cube build. Have an RS-100 sump anyone have skimmer suggestions????

All right, one last piece of equipment left to buy..... The skimmer. Any suggestions? Don't want spend a fortune, but want something nice.

In the long run the livestock from the nano will end up in the 70, the nanos moving and going to be a QT tank

I like it too, I was going to do the 93 but then I saw this, I like that its shallower and wont require as much light to get to the sand bed. It will bee easier to clean too.

We'll see..................lol

I know this is an after thought but should I worry about weight on my floor?

Well a couple pics of the hardware going to see if can get couple days vacation for Thursday, Friday. We'll see if we can get this baby running.... More pics to follow.

Ok guys/ladies.... Had the 93 cube hardware Ideas thread going and some of you helped out. Well switched it up a bit and bought the last 70 gallon Marineland cube on earth I guess heres some pics....

Ok , going to get my tank today. One of the reasons I'm starting a new tank is because I want to tear down my old one but don't want to lose the occupants. I was plagued by Aptaisia and want to transfer frags of my corals from that tank and my livestock but don't want to risk Aptaisia again. It...

Yeah, but where do you live? If I lived in NJ, no problem. Im in rural Indiana over here. The LFS thinks he is a salt water Guru because he can mix salt and water.......

Im gonna place my order monday, and for tose of you that helped out Im gonna do s build thread. There will be lots of pics...

Sounds good Im gonna stay with the light, if i need another later then I guess I will buy one.

Do you have a glass canopy? He quoted me one but I don't want to use it. I think the glass and condensate will affect the lighting, no?

Well that might work out as i could house different species in different areas. I really want the light. I saw one at a lfs combined with eco's pumps and its a pretty sweet setup.

I know i want to be able to house brain coral as well as a maxima clam.

Sorry I deleted the first part, any other suggestions on lighting?
