Finally got it

thats exactly wat i think im gonna do build the stand and canopy then pay to get the tank drilled then plumb it and then do the skimmer
 
I'd fire up the lights before getting a skimmer unless yoiu plan on doing both at the same time. Lights are more important early than the skimmer.
 
mike why don't you save yourself a lot of money and just upgrade to a big rubbermaid full of minnows. Then don't feed them to save even more money. Its brilliant my friend. you'll save so much money it won't really much matter if your tank is a cesspool. Look at it this way, you could use your tank as a way to make sure ammonia and nitrate test kits really work instead of always just reading zero. O wait lol, only difference between the "tank" i just suggested and your "actual tank" is that your tank is made of glass at the present time and not a rubbermaid. :)

As for Dale, whatever old folks home you escaped from is beyond me. I think I saw you on one of them Centrum Silver commercials lol.

and that jamokie character that never posts anymore. I figured out he can't post because he's too busy cruising the local bus stations for little boys.

We don't got no stinking bridges you numbskull! Just wait till Mikes setup gets picked for tank of the month while you continue slaughtering corals and propogating aptasia.

Jamokie was working his tail off last I heard. Do you know what that is Ryan? A job? As in employment that doesn't involve trusts or spongeing off family.. ehem!

Ryan, Jealousy fits you perfectly! Just add some more fast tanner and hair gel, another bling earing and a speedo... you'll be all better! LMFAO
 
Dale aka geezer, it still boggles my mind that you even know what a computer is let alone know how to use it. I mean considering electricity didn't come about till you were in your 20's. Don't forget to change your depends and take your oscal this morning. LMFAO
 
A small mind like yours boggles quite frequently. A product of a Youngstown education and a lifetime of artificail additives and feminine hair products...
 
were? (Youngstown education, not even a spelling bee contestant) No, I'm pretty sure I'm on my first life and wasn't bladder incontinence protection prior. :)

Maybe in another 30 years (if I'm still alive) I'll need big boy diapers but 'm good for now. Thanks for being concerned tho.
 
Next week in the evenings or Next weekend. I'm gonna chill this weekend because I've been killing myself her at work. You're gonna need sheets of oak plywood, oak molding (inside and outside corner and crown), top quality 2x4's, 1 x 2, and 1x1, cabinet doors, Stainless hinge stock, stainless screws, gorilla glue, stain and poly.

Stand will need a min. of 2 sheets 1/2 x 4 x 8 oak plywood, 6- 2x4x8 and 2-1x2x8's. you;ll aslo need a few sticks of molding. I suggest 4 doors. 2 at the front and one on either end (makes access a snap). I might be able to get you the doors either free or nearly so.

Canopy will need 2 more sheets of oak plywood, 2 1x2's and 2 1x1's, hinge stock and molding.

Like I said before, we need to sit down and go over what you want then we can determine the materials and sizes necessary.
 
Did you wanna meet next week sometime to go over plans on building it im free every night after 3 then im free on the weekend. really im only looking at building the stand/canopy right now and thinking if we can build a sump fairly inexpensive maybe we can do that too.
 
Whenever Mike. Mark Sayers (another local reef geek) is planning to come over to my place Wed. after 5 to look at some of the stuff I have to sell cheap and grab a frag or 2. I should be around all week as I don't have anything better to do :).

Plan on the sump costing about $100 in materials plus bulkheads and related plumbing. I have a pretty good source for Acrylic that sells drops and odd cut sheets pretty cheap and ships to the office for cheap too.

Beer = Good! :)
 
welll wed is good for me i just dont have a clue where you live i know its out in the boons somewhere but thats about it...

AND BEER = GRRRRRRREATT! just like tony the tiger
