Is there a special paint i need to use for the backglass? I would like to paint mine black

I would like to get on the list please

Where are you located? 

In search of an rodi booster pump capable of 150 gpd

Okay I have a 20h tank that I can setup right now. But ill wait until the display is going to set it up 

How do I go about cycling a QT tank im close to finishing my set up and i figure its time to get the QT tank going but how do you go about cycling without rock or sand ??

Dangit lol 

In

Paid 

Shoot

In here 

Im in.

I agree I was just putting it out there. Was kinda of a silly idea mostly because of all the storage facilities popping up around me haha

Yeah id try my lfs but they arent really into sw and the other is petco. I just figured id put my idea out to the world lol 

Anyone willing to rent a frag rack out in there  frag tank? Kinda like storage ? Ive been thinking about this for awhile im not setup or ready for corals yet and i keep seeing things I want go by and missed opportunities. Im not sure if this is a thing or if anyone has thought of it im spit ballin here.

Where are you at when can i oick it up lol 

So the deal might be falling through on the iwaki anyone have any experience with blueline pumps?

Looks like im picking up a used iwaki md55rlt for 120 bucks figured even if it needs a complete rebuild ill still be ahead.

Wish i was setup or hadsomeone to hold these haha

Well I suppose I should wait until I have my drains plumbed and am ready to do my returns! But im liking the iwaki md40rxt and the md55rlt for now.

Well I figure its time to get started on my build thread ( No pictures currently my camera is busted!)
I have had one tank prior to this which was a freshwater with our local fish bluegill,crappie large mouth/small mouth bass ect ect it went well the entire time granted I used everything from where I caught them.
My plans are a mixed reef sps heavy reef.
I currently have a 75g display tank from marineland and I will be using a 40b with a DIY kit as a sump. The stand doesnt support a sump so the sump will be in the basement.
This will be an adventure and I hope you all will be able to enjoy the trials and tribulations.

Current inventory
75g marineland aquarium with stand
(I have already drilled this aquarium with 3 drains and 2 return 2x1" 1x3/4" drains and 2x3/4" returns)
40g breeder
100lbs of dry rock
Reef octo 150sss classic.                                BRS 150gpd 4 stage rodi.                            3x 55 gallon food grade water barrels
20h qt tank with oversized hob heater and powerhead waiting to go.

Im starting to think that 1000gph is dragon I shouldnt be chasing!

What size tank is it? A high head pressure pump is probably needed like a reeflo. 

Its standard 75. And will be pulling from a 40b sump

Im looking for about 1000gph its not 10 feet exactly its more like 7'6" of vertical and im trying to only use 3 90s in the system so i figured 10ft of head pressure is a decent estimate 

Luckily im blessed with the basement being concrete floor and my sump is 3 feet away from the basement sump pump in case something goes south. But. Ive been on the fence about soft or hard plumbing because im going through a wall to avoid drilling in the floor.

Hey thanks ive been so excited to get this done and going I was going to attempt a sw aquarium back in 2012 but I ended getting into a different hobby and now it seems that we have made some big break throughs since then
