Try Wilco. Any feed store should have some tanks like that' date=' or could at least point you in the right direction. Gehren's feed store on Orient drive(a few miles east of 282nd) in Boring.[/quote']

 

Thanks. Gehren's is the place I think people have been trying to refer me too but none could remember the name.(clap)

I went to Coastal and the best they had were large buckets. I didn't ask them if they could order anything large though.

Anyone know where I can get these locally?

sea swirls/wavy seas on returns and OM4 way on closed loop is going to be my random flow.

I visit lots... Me likey PNWMAS.org

I was going to respond but then saw Shawn (sknoch78) posted in the new aquatronica forum on RC. Also I don't control the CO2 with it. Shawn I can try and help you if you are having problems. Do you have the PC Software? If not we could hook it to my laptop and program it. I find the PC software easier to deal with for programming. What is your setup now and what isn't working right?

Aquatronica is sweet.

Shawn,

The Sequence line of pressure rated pumps are super quiet and very good. You can also try the next step up in the Saltwater Sequence line I really like these too.

what drum versions does it come with and did you buy it new or get used from someone else?

Rumor has it the hole in the wall is being cut friday......(rock2) Let the equipment purchases begin. (clap)

Ron I pretty much have everything I need. Thanks for the offer. Your tank looks great by the way in those pics you posted. You'll have it filled with corals in no time.

here is a bad pic of the stand in its new home

It looks like he has leg levels on the frame' date=' if so shouldn't be a problem.[/quote']

 

Yep. Levels on the bottom of the stand on all 4 legs.

Okay the stand is painted. Yummy Cell Phone Pics.

prep work....

ready for paint....

painted by... sorry can't reveal my sources

done

Yep agree with Joel all the way. Spectapure Liquid Level Controller is the only way to go and best kept secret for autotop off IMO. Well at least a cheap, easy and safe way of doing it.

Fantastic idea. I'm going to rig one up similar to yours. Thanks for sharing.

You laugh Ron but I have seen copters around my shop. It has at least 4 skylights and at night they glow. From the air it must look sweet. Plus the shop has its own power and I'm sure PGE has reported the power increase since they are by law supposed too. (so i've heard). I also have a green house next to my shop and a completely covered yard in a back corner that looks way suspicious.

ringwurm how well does that keep it warm? I need to do something like your setup. Is that just pvc and painters plastic? Very nice and looks like you have the plague in there or just a bubble boy.

Try Envision. He seems to have misc. sizes available for sale sometimes.

When your wife is getting ready for "Turkey Day" and she can't seem to find the Turkey Baster.

got the answer from Eheim

JAGER heaters are fully submersible according to European standards. However because Jager heaters are now manufactured in Germany a new UL certificate must be issued for the “New” company. This new certificate must be issued to comply with the North American standards, until then the heater MUST be labeled as not submersible in North America.

When I told them to build it strong enough to put a jeep on I didn't think they were going to take me literally. Actually the material was expensive but labor was less because it was less welds. Once I saw yours I knew I didn't want any braces in the way. It is almost 4ft tall so that was a concern. One thing I did forget was built in cup holders.

complete. well not quite but my daughter and I love looking at nemo and dori and some hand drawn sharpie corals and fish. Here are some pics of the stand, sump and tank. I just hope I can complete it before the new little one is due in January. The stand still needs to be painted.

yea there new heater instructions say not to submerge it all the way. There is a line you shouldn't pass. My guess is it is a german thing where legally they aren't code for fully submerged. I really want to submerge this thing for my water makeup bin but now I'm trippin on it. I saw the web site thing but this is there new heater not the old one. The instructions are too detailed to be a translation thing. Eheim makes a great product but this blows.

The directions say you can't fully submerge it anymore on the new model they released. What the ????

Custom Aquatic has everything you need brand new. Just search sedra on there site.

I would check the needlewheel though and make sure they look the same. My guess is Euroreef mods them slightly.
