I think I got a little ahead of myself with this one. I got it moved into the tank, then realized I'm a few months away from actually setting it up. I just got excited and started gluing things together. Anyway, here it is in the tank. Now I can put it back in the corner until I'm ready I guess.

I had a little arts and crafts time over the weekend thinking about a new tank I'm planning. The tank is a 6 gallon long. Dimensions are 24" x 9.5" x 6.5". Here's what I ended up with.

I can definitely work with that!

That would be great! Thanks!

I'm looking for a cool skeleton for one of my new tanks. A nice branched or tabling acro around 6-8 inches in diameter would be perfect. If anybody happens to have the remnants of an old dead colony they don't want, please let me know.

I'm sure this has come up before, but is there anyone here who does acrylic work? I'm looking for a couple of very simple overflow boxes. Let me know. Thanks

Okay everybody, I updated the first post with the names of everyone participating. I'll post here to remind you to post your updated pictures. Feel free to also start a separate build thread of you want to. Just make sure to post an update here by 5pm on the due date. -
Anyone have one of these (or similar)

Maybe they forgot to put the bulkhead in before they glued on the back panel? -
Thanks Kim!

I would love a small piece of each of the caps too! I've always wanted to try grafting them together.

Does anyone have some xenia, gsp, and leather coral they wouldn't mind bringing frags or?

If anyone has a pest or hitchhiker that is destined for the toilet, please let me know. It can live in the pico contest tank. Thanks

It's a perfect time to start a new one. Tiny takes are very easy to move. -

Here's mine. -Betta falls (free off Craigslist) -Fluval nano light (not sure this is actually good for anything. I have another light sitting around if this doesn't work out) -Tetra 25w preset heater (came with the tank) -The sump is a 3 gallon Rubbermaid tote (4$) -Some random pieces of tubing and PVC fittings (3$) -Total price tag 7$ -Rocks came out of my sump. I also threw my dirty filter sock in the sump. I'm hoping the cycle will be fast. I had the wood for the stand in the garage. I'll clean it up and make it look better soon. I just wanted to get things running. I'm thinking sexy shrimp and mushrooms in chamber 1, bumblebee shrimp and zoas in chamber 2, and maybe pom pom crabs in chamber 3. -
New project, plumbing question.
Jack-the-reefer replied to Jack-the-reefer's topic in General Discussion
Hmmm. Not exactly the solid consensus I was hoping for. In case it changes anything, I'm not overly concerned with flow. This is just going to be softies and macro algae. I'm planning for a frog fish in one tank, and a goby/pistol shrimp pair in the other. I like the idea of the second option because I could run the "return" line lower in the tank without having to worry about it draining any extra water when the pump shuts off. I don't want to load the bottom tank with bubbles though. It's going to be a simple single drain from the top tank. -
I've been slowly gathering supplies for my next build. I think I have it all planned out, but I'd love some opinions. It's going to be two separate nano tanks (shocking, I know) plumbed together into a shared sump. Both tanks are around 6 gallons, and one will sit above, and slightly behind the other one. My question is about plumbing them. Should I 1- plumb a fork into the return pump, giving each tank its own return. Then also plumb a drain from each tank into the sump. 2- only run the return line to the top tank, then drain that one into the bottom tank, then drain the bottom tank into the sump. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I'm sure there's downsides and benefits either way. Thanks Xoxo

Tips about getting back into the salt water hobby
Jack-the-reefer replied to AmySC's topic in General Discussion
If you have specific things you're looking for, post a list. There are a lot of hoarders here with extra equipment sitting around. -

Yes, tank counts as equipment. -

I was thinking we could just post updates here. I'm open to ideas if there's a better way to do it though. -
Nope. I still have it for you. Just a miscommunication.

You can do anything you want as long as total volume doesn't exceed 5g. I'll be putting a sump on the betta falls. -

It only applies to new equipment. Anything you already have is fair game.
