Not important Terry. I am not all here today . So what are you planning to do? Are you going to take all the SPS out of your tank and treat it in the QT or you just dip it and put it back? Need to be careful my friend. There are many people with AEFW nowadays.

 

[tbone28]

Haven't decided yet, Steve. Got too many things going on with my tank and busy at work. Lot of stuff going through my mind.

Already have the Interceptor. Still waiting for the levamisole to arrive, so I have until then to decide how to proceed.

drool... srt-8 pure hemi-ness

I was never a Dodge fan. But after the first ride in my brother's SRT8, I was sold. Before I knew it, he was trying to get me to buy the Cherokee SRT8, which is also sweet. But again, I've never been a car buff. I'm not crazy about the interior and yeah there are lighter, faster cars than the Charger SRT8. But this thing is no slouch. It doesn't take much to make your head snap back. :smokin:

Thanks Mark and Terry. Well it turns out the liner is made of fiberglass. I was too busy to take a close look at it, especially the underside, until today. It's really thin though (roughly 1/8"), but it's sturdy and has a good 2" lip around the top. The dimensions are actually 72" x 36" x 18". If I can clean this thing out well enough, I can skip the RM 100 stock tank. Thoughts?

 

[tbone28]

I would still buy something that hasn't been in the ground - whether new or used. I would be concerned with stuff leaching in. Just me, though.

 

[paulthomas]

I hear ya. But fiberglass is virtually non-porous. As long as the gel coat is in good shape and there are no pin size holes, I should be good to go. I'll probably baffle a few sections off for the skimmer and RDSB and apply another layer of gel coat to be sure it's water tight. Also, since I'll only be partially filling it, the fact that it's above ground and will have no side wall support shouldn't be a problem. I'm gonna clean this thing out today and run a little water test on it.

BTW, I priced fiberglass pond liners like this one and they cost about $750 new. :eek2:

 

[tbone28]

good luck, Paul. I like ponds, so I would have kept mine inground

 

[GSMguy]

If i had a basement i would have a pond instead of a tank

they are cheaper and more fun.

 

[tbone28]

I like both. Both are fun - different kind of fun

Here's the pond from our previous home - I miss it

 

[mpoletti]

I let my pond dry up as the local raccons got to my koy. Once they get a taste, its only a matter of time

 

[GSMguy]

i meant a saltwater pond.

but yea as it stands now i have 3 tanks so i guess i would have a tank running no mater what

 

[paulthomas]

Wow, that's beautiful T. You're a regular (or should I say disturbingly irregular) Mr. Miyagi.

:lol:

I know it doesn't help much, but here's the pond liner inground minus the fountain:

We took it out because of the kids. It's a hazard for them to be running around it while they're so young. Plus it opens up the garden side of the yard more. We're planning on filling in some of the planted areas with grass too. It's incredibly beautiful when in bloom throughout the seasons, so I feel terrible doing it. But we simply don't have the time for the upkeep.

Here are some old pics from when it was in its prime, before the riffraff moved in:
