I’m still working on the stand, but the tank is a 60x24x24 SCA glass tank with external overflow. Eurobrace 1/2” glass

Any recommendations for glass suction cup lifters out there? Is this the smart way to lift a big tank? I like having finger tips, and my new stand has a lip up all around for tank to sit down in.

Hah! That's pretty cool

Any particular reason?
 It’ll be for a drain line. 

I don’t trust the thick inside rubber type material, but I haven’t tried it.

For water flow or to be underwater? I would not recommend.

I agree with all these. Around 250 psi I make plans to go exchange in the next week or so

Wow Daniel! You’re going to need a face mask and long snorkel for that one!

Well mine is now but an encrusted 1/4" stub. I bumped it and snapped it off. 

Thanks John!  And Bevo5 too. I'm looking for just a barrel I can mount a float valve in with a submersible pump inside to keep it simple

I'm in Tigard as well, and have a fridge full of Pfreim IPA I'd be happy to share!

I’m looking for water storage container 26” diameter or less at least 60g. I’m having trouble searching on mobile format for what you guys have done for your water mixing stations. Suggestions on where to get new or used is what I’m looking for. Thanks! Oh did I mention I’ve got a 150g tank coming next week?

Dang Brian, that is sickening to hear.

36" deep tank is really really nice.   Bill, what is in the way of a bigger tank?  You buy the beer, I will bring a sledge hammer and a sawzall.  Anything that stands in front of a dream tank can be addressed with these two tools..well, and a shop vac. 

Hell, I removed a load bearing wall, two circuits, and copper plumbing for my current tank  

 

 

My house is only 1100 sq ft, so I guess that's what I'm using as an excuse. Knocking out the wall would mean I'd have to remodel the kitchen, which is an overwhelming thought for me. 

I need to do some research into these labels we each have! I'm a zoanthid, Calvin is a Shark, Ken is a Trigger, Brian is a Problem Child, and Kim is a Master AzzKrak!

I have had both a 30" wide and a 36" wide peninusla and MUCH prefer the 36. Better for aquascaping.  

Also, had a 24" deep and 30" deep.  Much prefer the 24.  When you go up to 30 it requires 3/4" glass, which increases the price.  A pain to reach the very bottom of a 30.

My 68"X36"24" starfire peninsula is currently for sale.  The stand is not steel, but I built it like a tank.

You're killing me Ken! I so wish I had room for that.

OK boys and girls, I'm jones'n to upgrade to a bigger tank. Same placement, for those of you who've been to my house. I've got room for maximum 65" length and maybe 30" depth. Since I'm up against a wall at the end, I'm really thinking about a peninsula. I'm really thinking about the Waterbox or Red Sea peninsula systems, but Crystal Dynamic has steel stand with eurobrace that is kind of appealing as well. HELP!!! If any of you had it to do again today, what would you do with my parameters?

If I remember correctly, Micah’s wiring prowess was a full-blown step beyond what most of us think of because of what he does or did as a living. He is who turned me on to that plastic wire raceway stuff with snap on covers !

Does this mean there is a new build in your future, Bill?

Well... I am seriously spending a lot of time looking. If I don’t get a new system, I’ll at least be tearing mine pretty far down to get rid of all my zoas that have overtaken areas and making room to keep a cleaner system.

Well I just learned something new today. Many years back, I confirmed with Tigard water officials that the water supply sourced from Portland used chloramines for treatment. I got my most recent Tigard water pamphlet thingy yesterday and it only mentioned chlorine. So I emailed, and got confirmation back that Tigard no longer sources from Portland and instead partnered with Lake Oswego and no longer uses chloramines. The difference means my RO carbon pre filters should last significantly longer since I'm set up for chloramine removal, and that uses up carbon significantly faster than chlorine.

What do they taste like?

Sorry to see, but put me in the list to buy a frag when ready.

Beautiful fish! If I didn’t have one already I would buy it

I really dig the aquascape. Makes me want to tear mine down and do it over

Wait, there’s a display tank that goes along with this?!!
