I stopped counting after the first 20k. Too often tried to go the cheap route only to buy better equipment later.

Great news. We will check this off the list.

@Flashy Fins and @albertareef . We think we have the edit feature back up and running. please give it a shot and let us know if it is working for you now.

FREE. My time was free!!!! just kidding. Happy to help

I was around when we used to use "The Reef Tank" as our main forum. We had a few sub forums, but it was pretty bad. I was there when we first went live with PNWMAS.org. I was also a charter member and the clubs first Secretary. I'm like that stain you can't get out of your shirt.

I think there is a way to set max image sizes. I'll look when I get home if Jeremy doesn't find it.

one of the admins posted on your support ticket 2 hours ago asking if we would like to start the upgrade. I replied yes. They shouldn't have to ask at 4:30am.

LOL

I'll see if I can find some. I plan on a full re-plumb in the next year. I want to do everything right this time with true unions and a large dc pump for the closed loop. It will take a full tank tear down to do it.

Thanks. All is well.

A little bit of water damage to a part of the stand that does not effect the structure. I added a 3/4 inch piece of plywood and a 3/4 inch layer of hard foam to the top of the stand. The original stand had a pressboard top. That's where the water damage is but it doesn't support any weight. At some point I will redo all of my plumbing.

Nothing like coming home to a bulkhead leak. 2 hours and a saws all later the bulkhead has been replaced. Giving it some drying time before filling the tank back up. I haven't had a leak issue in a long time. I hope my other bulkheads hold up. The seal was brittle in the bad bulkhead. The tank has been up for 10 years. Fingers crossed.

240 gallon display. 100 gallon sump. 55 gallon fuge/remote deep sand bed. Not to rain on your parade, but I stopped adding things up after I hit $15000.00. That was 8 years, a tank crash, complete rebuild and changeover of all equipment ago. The more you try to do it cheaply, the more you will spend getting the right equipment later. My skimmer alone was $1000.00. Wait that was my second skimmer. The first one was $600.00 (Beckett) and a $300.00 iwaki pump to drive it. I'm a big diyer but I learned in time that you get what you pay for in this hobby. I will be watching your build to see how you are going to make this happen. I wish you success.

36.6". Body is 8" wide. http://www.precisionmarine.com/bullet-series/bullet-xl-2 I just want to get rid of it $150. Will need a high pressure pump like an iwaki 70rlt. I have an old one, but it works great. Will let that go for another $100. These two items together new went for over $1000. Jay

I have a Precision Marine XL2. Becket skimmer. Rated at 750 gallons. Travis at Upscales ran one for many years on his display tank. Old tech, but a Monster of a skimmer.

Let me know if we need to set up forums for them. How about banners?
