Sent you a PM.

Yeah it is just regular fresh water out of the garden hose. I am not going to wast 100 gallons plus on SW to se if it leaks(laugh) I like to waste money but not that much:D

Put them on the front porch(laugh)

Yes that is the problem. Will check it out and see. Thanks!!! Like I said I want this tank almost silent.

Yes I would say Paly from what I have seen. I have some real nice green ones that I picked up. Am looking for more palys they are like Zoas to me you can never have enough(laugh) You never know you might be able to frag them and help the cause.

Yes that is the way it is now. But there are bubbles coming out in the sump. Do I need more flow at the Durso or? Am going to go play with it and see what happens.

I have a Durso on there. The problem is in the sump where the water exits the pipe and into the sock. I was just wondering if there was a way to make that part silent. Do most people have the exit under water or above?

Well got the tank wet and am wondering what everybody does for the sump drain. I am running a 1 1/2 overflow drain and when it hits the sump it is noisy from the bubbles and flow. What can you do to tone the noise down? I want this thing almost silent. The Tarpon pump is killer this thing is so silent. My 7 yr old was mad because his 29 makes more noise(laugh)

Well it is filled and is not leaking yet(scary) hopefully it stays that way. As for skimmer I am just going to run one of the Octopuss style ones. And yes the plumbing was there for the calc reactor I just cut it and changed a few things with the plumbing. As of now no calc reactor but will be looking to see what I can find in the used or cheaper market. Right now the rock is going to kill me to fill it. Will post some pics soon.

Well got it all plumbed this morning and ready to fill and test for leaks. But right now am painting the room it is going in. Kind of a trade off with the wife you can put the aquarium in there but you need to paint first(laugh) Good trade off I guess. Plus I wanted a cube but the wife said I do not want the tank there so that opened up a whole differant world of tanks(clap) Well am off will post some pics when it is up and running in the garage.

Here are a few more pics oh and one of my other hobby. It is a good way to let off a little steam(rock2)

Well got a little bit done tonight. Painted the back black. Plumbed the durso and the return inside the overflow. Cleaned out the sump and got everything ready to go for some water hopefully tom afternoon. I just need to hit Parkrose Hardware in the morning for a few feet of flexible tubing and will be done with all the plumbing. Well here are a few pics.

That is one sweet set up. I know when it comes time to build another house that is the way I am going. I love the in wall set ups.

Well its official I just brought home a new tank(clap) It started last week when I bought a used Seastar 36x24x18 it came with a real nice stand and a Uno Tarpon pump also a sump built by a local builder. Well today I traded it in to Joel at Waves for a 36x24x24 Seastar that I really liked. So the build begins. Will post up some pics soon as I just got it on the stand in the garage. Am going to hopefully head to HD tonight and get the PVC to plumb it tonight. And also waiting on the big brown truck to show up with a 8 light Tek light. Also ant recomendations on skimmers would be great! This is 92 gallons plus the sump so who knows maybe 110 total but not sure. Well look for the pics to come this ought to be fun(rock2)

That sucks! Hope the silicone works.

Also when using the silicone use some tape. That way you get a nice clean edge with the silicone. I should have fixed my 29 with a new chunk of glass but just tossed it and bought another.

At todays price of gas you needed to sell both of themDOH! I know when I fill my truck up it is at least a 100 bucks(scary)

Looking for a skimmer for a 70 gallon tank. Would like one for at least double that if I can fit it in the sump. Let me know what you have and what you want for it. Thanks!

Trying some blue sps right now. We will see how they do.

Yes it is the 6025 and it works great. The only problem is that when you turn it off and then back on it sometimes goes backwards. Have only had it in there for a few weeks so no rust yet.

Yes the surface stays nice and clean. Also running the small Tunze in there and love it.

Ok sounds good you know what I would like. And will know more tonight on my trip south so will post up tonight.

Ok heres the deal if you want frags from Josh and are local to the Portland area I am heading that way and will pick them up for you. I am hoping to meet up with him friday sometime. Just let Josh know what you want and I will finance the purchase when I pick them up that way just in case I can not make it nobody is trying to get there money back. I have Joshs number and will call him and give him a for sure when I know more as the week goes by. So if anyone is interested PM me a number I can contact you at as I will not be at a computer after tuesday night. And I can call you when I get close to Peortland. Scott

I am heading to Medford on Wed and coming back through on Fri if things go right. I might be able to meet up with you if it is possible. Just have to get it all to go right so we can make this happen.
