Thx, I got a hold of him. =)

Actually...Hood Canal is mostly a waste of time and peppered with reserves. Hood Canal doesn't really have that many of the critters that we're interested in keeping......mostly due to the lack of flow and food that Hood Canal experiences. It is vastly better to dive spots that are more open to the ocean.....like the San Juans and in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Seiku is a great shore dive anytime of the year in the Strait....but' date=' Neah Bay is the holy grail spot (but, you'll need a boat and a calm summer day). The San Juans and nearby Anacortes have many great shore and boat dive spots.[/quote']

 

 

I'm diving with Naknek in January...................... Hood Canal actually has a lot of the same life that you would find in the strait of juan de fuca. Matter of fact that entire area does, the only thing that affects hood canal is low O2 levels in late summer. Like if you went to say Sund Rock right now, you would find most of the life in 20-30fsw, even GPO and Wolf Eel. Not to mention the viz is usually bad this time of year as well........

 

 

Back to your regular scheduled program. (clap)

I'm looking for a sump for a 125gal tank. If ya got one let me know what ya got, and how much ya want for it. Thanks.

I'd be glad to go diving for some livestock for ya. =) Or for anybody with a cold water tank for that matter.......I'll be honest with you though, there is no real cool sea life in Oregon. Best place imo to go would be Puget Sound, preferably Hood Canal. I'm not sure if collecting is legal there though...............

Anybody know how to get in touch with this guy? I wanted to buy some stuff, sent pm, and phone number. Haven't heard anything back........

Tank is already equipped with over flows, and everything runs out the back I believe. The tank I bought is one of the 4 display tanks in the back. If Bob is on here and sees this maybe he can say exactly what it is. This is my first actual build, so should be interesting to say the least. I have had a 20g up and running for 9-12 months maybe??? My current tank is a Finnex M-20, so i didn't have to do any of this stuff here. I just set it up and added water basically...........

Those plans look good. I'll prolly use 4x4 posts on my corners, and 2x6 for the table part that the tank sits on. I really like how that tank sits down in it, I just may do something similar. =)

So I purchased a 125gal tank, will be getting a sump today hopefully, and need to build a stand. I want to start this build thread off with asking a few questions about stand building. I am a journey carpenter w/ 16 years experience, so the carpentry isn't a problem. The thing I need is plans. Anybody have some for a 72"L x 18 3/8" W tank. The sump will be 18" tall as well. I went into Coral Reef Pet Center her in Salem, and bought the tank from Bob, and I seen the way the tanks are sitting there, so I got a basic idea of the frame. I plan on using finish plywood for the exterior. I don't want a contraption sitting in my living room, we want furniture. So any quality plans somebody has, even if just drawn up on a napkin would be awesome. Thanks, and this will continue as the build progresses so stay tuned. (clap)(clap)(clap)

PM sent on the RO and chiller

Thx everybody.

Plans atm are to take it easy.

Thanks.

I've been cycling my tank for about a month now. It's a Truvu 10g nano with BioCube Nano Skimmer, Coralife 24w T5 10000K 24w Actinic, and about 15# of rock. I removed the bio-balls and replaced with rock as well.

A couple shots.
