What are the dimensions??? Got a pic?

I'm entertaining the idea of a closed loop w/an OM 4 way. My other half is scared of drilling the bottom (she's scared of a lot of things!) so I thought I could drill the back down low and run pipe to the front of the tank under the sand.

Feedback please!!!

Here are a couple:

You've got a gorgeous tank...great pics!!!(rock2)

Center overflow with internal section plumbed for return. 4 return pipes with line lock " T " diverters to direct 8 different nozzles. Would look clean' date=' it would all come from the bottom and you could centerpiece it ( walk around style ) with the sump/pump etc in the stand[/quote']

 

I like the idea...but hesitate to chew up that much real estate!!

And a vortech-

Not in this lifetime!!!(nono)

I'm gonna set up a 36x36x25 cube tank. What would be the optimum set-up for the plumbing if I detested powerheads?

Right now in my 90 gallon 48x18x25 I have the end drilled for 2 overflows and 2 inlets...powered by a Dart...plenty of flow...even throttled down....but I'm not sure it's the optimum flow.

How would you do it???????????? Lay it on me!!!

51" tall....15" wide...26 1/2 deep. Heavy duty commercial model. 3 nice frags gets it or $50....pick your poison!

Are you coming to the October meeting? I'm in Salem and don't get up your way much.

That will be PLENTY of lite....I'd start the actinics on a 12 hour schedule....the halide for 8 to start...maybe increase to 10 hours if the corals show no sign of bleaching!

I've got a 30 gal tank...would need dividers put in!

Welcome from South Salem.....welcome to the hobby!! Any questions just ask away!!!

Wish I lived closer to P-town. Never close enough :( to me.

I feel and share your pain(sad)!!!

bump it up!

I can just see it now.....little fish sized headphones and i-pods....Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd just blaring away.......

Better warn those fish to stay out of bathrooms and away from mirrors;)

bump to the top!!

I think I know someone who has one of those special medical cards so I can get some "hemp" from them, I never been able to justify or find an excuse for being a hemp user.

 

Thanks Snowpunk, I guess its time to go green

(whistle)(nutty):eek:

So like are any refreshments being served. I don't mean booze' date=' just pop or coffee?[/quote']

 

I'm sure the restaurant will have something to please you!!

Anyone got a phone number?

What LFS show tank is your favorite?

 

Just curious as to what everyone's opinions are on the forum...

 

 

I have not been to all of the shops in Portland, just a few, but as for my favorite(s) would be the cube tank at Upscales. That tank was one of the first fully grown out SPS tanks I have seen, and its colors and depth constantly leave me standing at the tank staring until the wife says we have to leave.

 

So, what are everyone's favorites??

Married 2 months and already blaming her!!!(rock2)

and....as an added bonus.....

all attendees will be vying for a door prize, and will have the opportunity to buy raffle tickets for some cooool stuff.....proceeds to the TFT program. (clap)Raffle tickets $2 ea or 3 for $5.

Carlos (Guadalajara owner)has also assured me that he is aging a couple bottles of Tequila just for us! Just introduce me to your designated driver and we'll get you fixed up!

There's a 125 posted on Craigslist in Eugene....looks like a 4x2x2....$500 for everything. Jay at 541-653-5255. It was posted on 8-28....but the ad is still there. Good Luck!

anyone notice the big change in lighting/color???

 

between pics 8 and 9 i switched from an ebay 250 w "20k" and a PFO reflector

 

to a:

radium 250 20k with the lumen reflector

Ha! You just wanted us to look at the pics again....1....2....3...(laugh)

Do you like the 20K better??? Looks kinda blue in the pics.....

Came home tonite to find my RBTA I got from Jase....Jadams on this forum....had a baby!!. Splitsville! I feel like passing out cigars! You hear that it does happen....but when it actually does it's kinda exciting!!!(clap)

Grim is a know it all, and is wrong many times. I can counter many of his "claims" with proof from little tiny no knowledge companies like GE. Then again Im sure someone without any real lighting experience other than playing around in his basement with some light fixtures and a PAR meter knows more than the engineers at GE. *insert sarcasm here*

 

Im sure the folks at Fulham dont know anything either....

So I guess folks like you should educate us BEFORE we take some mis-information as the gospel.

Actually Joel.....reading Grim's posts sold me on T-5 versus MH.....I even purchased the fixture from you.....I'm happy and everything is growing like a weed......looks like a win-win to me!
