    Tempered glass and styrofoam

    Finally got everything up and running, doing a final once over before setting the sump in the stand and with all the heat and humidity lately, one of my top boards warped. :banghead: It is only off by about 2mm. It is an open frame stand (no plywood on top). This is my first tank with a tempered...

    New aqueon ensemble, tank not flush?

    Papers thin I wouldn't worry but definitely not normal. I would get that in writing from the rep and save it in case something did happen.

    Anyone here go fishing ?

    Used to fish nearly every day before work for a stress relief. New job won't allow it haven't been in about 2 months. 95% catch and release. I just love the fight. Nothing more relaxing than standing on a beach at 6:30 AM as the sun is coming up fighting with a shark or a good size red.

    Anyone use this light?

    Good to know thanks. Eventually it will turn into a reef but money won't allow it for a while. Was going to get the one everyone here raves about but I'm worried about the size being too small. I have a 40b.

    I was worried about moisture if I put a shelf in there. The stand is gonna be painted black to an almost mirror shine. Should be starting it Saturday I'll put a thread up on it. Cabinetry used to be my big thing. And I'm in saint augustine. Thanks again for all the advice.

    My plan is to make a 4' stand since we have a cat, that's about as high as he can jump fortunately. Going to have a custom hood with PC fans on the back side to keep it all cool. Trying to plan a good way to incorporate the sump and still have storage space for all the food and equipment. We...

    I know reefs are the most expensive and the LFS told me they are extremely hard. Now that we have the tank it's like how the heck can I afford all this. Been looking at lighting and didn't realize how expensive this stuff is. I thought maybe I could get away 4 bulb T5 but can't find anything...

    Water

    We have a deep artesian well and for the last 24 years (I grew up in this house) we have never used any special water for any of the freshwater tanks and only used a PH balancer. We do not have any kind of water softener or anything else installed. I used a nitrate and nitrite test and both...

    I was just going to use the Eshopps PF-300 Overflow Box so we don't have to drill, fiancee says she doesn't want me drilling into the tank. I was hoping to use the protein skimmer from our 55 Gallon tank but not sure if I should? PSE1 Power Protein Skimmer from TruAqua it has a built in UV...

    I have a T5 light, skimmer and salt. Just trying to figure out what I want to do with the sump. I want one like I said just worried. Are there any "sump kits"? I can't seem to find any. First time with salt don't want to mess up.
