  1. i have a custom 1/2" acrylic 4x2x2. fully braced, no bowing on panes. It comes out to 120g I think. comes with decent wood stand and sump.. sump was freshwater design so you will probably want to modify it. there are some scratches in the front.. not major but they will need to be sanded out. $400 takes it all..

  3. One thing to remember about toothless is that the actual thickness of the water entering the weir is very very thin. Thinner than you would think. I push roughly 3,00gph through my display and that generates less than 1/8" column of water across the top. Plus its absolutely silent. Like dead silent.. the water just runs down the inner wall. lastly, i forgot to mention.. those bulkheads are not backwards, they are placed that way so you can have a thin inner box... just wide enough to fit the nut of the bulkhead as opposed to the whole deal. Anyways.. I suppose that if you got the acrylic and beer you could come over and i could make you an overflow. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  4. i lost a small clown through the overflow so I put some eggcrate and then a piece of polycarbonate in there. because it so long, and the flow is laminar over the edge there is only an 1/8" gap or so.. maybe a quarter. shortly after the install my melaranus tested its function. He flopped up there, then panicked and flopped back. Now, if i could only find a way to keep my starfish off my closed loop intake.... Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  5. looks great!! what kind of tang are you going to put in there Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  6. i made one like this for my new tank. I went toothless so it is quieter and easier to clean. mine is 5.5' long and has three 1.5" bulkeads. Bulkheads will leak through the threads on any wet side without a gasket so in this instance you only need ONE gasket that is sandwiched between the inner box and outer box. I should have put a brace in thr middle of the back box as it is now bowing..but out of sight out of mind. I would recommend sch. 80 bulkheads on a big tank. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  7. does anyone have a small UV sterilizer that are not using anymore? The wives FW puffer tank is suffering from algae outbreaks and we have tried EVERYTHING. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  8. nice looking setup!! Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  9. Not mine but bored at work. Would make a great sump... big QT, or just buy it and place it somewhere in the way so you are always asking yourself why you bought it. https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/grd/d/aquarium-55-gal-fish-or/6518633263.html

  12. i have an RO regal and it is a beast of a skimmer. GLWS Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  13. yeah, that sounds like a solid plan. i bet in 2 weeks it will be back to normal.. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  14. i would just take the reactor offline and let it drop naturally. One spike is enough stress, but a spike followed by a large drop b/c of a water change.. maybe a small water change? regular IO is about 8.5 dkh for what it is worth. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

  17. uggghh. moving nems not fun. I had to literally drill and bust the rock around some of mine to gain access to the foot. I tried every trick i heard about. tapping on the rock, ice on the foot (news flash.. an ice cube lasts about 45 seconds in a tank) holding the rock out of the water, cussing vigourously, and talking sweetly. you need to find the edge of the foot and rup it a little with your finger..back and forth back and forth. after a minute or two of this the edge of the foot curled up just a little bit. Then i just cut my fingernail under there and again just slowly worked it back and forth with a nice even pressure. All three of mine eventually got the idea and let go when aboit half of the foot was exposed. I killed my largest one doing this but my two smaller ones are alive and well in their new tank. good luck!. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

  22. cool. It may be a smart play to squirt a littlr weld-on onto both parts first and wait a minute. then join then together and give it a good soaking. dont worry about getting weldon all over it, it will just evaporate. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  23. I could certainly use some backups. How used are they? One year.. great. two...not soo much. I will shoot you a PM. thanks. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
