i have a deep blue 60 gallon frag 48x24x12....when i filled it with water i noticed that the waterline is off by 1/4" front to back(higher in the back)...its the floor thats off not the tank or stand....i keep going back and forth on shimming or not.....im worried that when i shim that some spots on the stand will be off the ground.....what would you do? is a 1/4" off on a tank thats only 12" tall a big deal?....

That's a nice tank!
What kind of sand are you using?
Do you have one mp40 on the back side and one on the right side of the tank? I was thinking of putting 2 of them on the each side of the back of the tank or maybe just go with the traditional way and have them both on the sides but have one more towards the back side and the other more towards the front if that makes sense.

The sand I'm using is 60lbs of Tropic Eden Grand Select Aragonite that I bought from premium aquatics. Great stuff.
For aesthetic reasons, I tried to put both mp40w's on the back, but I did not like the flow I was getting. I left one in the back and do have one on the right side and like it much better. I have the vortech settings at Reefcrest random with both pumps synced up.

I have been happy. I think my biggest worry was that tank would hold up through the shipping. I did as I was warned, when Fedex freight delivers, you want to open everything and check everything out while the driver is still there in case anything broke or cracked. Otherwise, it can be tough to get a replacement.

Well I joined the rimless club, sort of!
Deep Blue Pro Rimless 30gal frag tank (24"x24"x12")
I'm still waiting on a custom stand for the tank, as I want it wider than normal to accommodate a 24" sump underneath. Currently it has a 2x4 stand and is up and running. Euro Reef RS80 skimmer, AI Sol Blue module, AC Jr and more.
Build quality is nice, silicon is a little off in areas but otherwise not bad for the price. Since it's not my show tank, I didn't really want the best. It will be used to grow out frags to either go into the main display or to trade/ sell. It will be a stand alone tank as I don't have room near my main display.
Quick question; do any of you rimless guys have a mesh screen top? If so how do you mount it on your tanks? The wife really wants a small wrasse or a goby to go in this tank and I don't want it jumping on me.

I have been searching from some clear plastic clips that can slip over each corner and hold the mesh that way. They have been difficult to find, mostly because I'm not sure exactly how to search for them. My backup plan is using some clear plastic dowels to take the place of the aluminum window screen frame.

Where can I pick up an application? I ordered my 36" X 36" x 24" in January and just added the live rock and sand this past Thursday courtesy of Richard at TB Saltwater.

On the fence, hood or rimless, I could go either way
On the fence, hood or rimless, I could go either way
So the cycle on the 24" cube is nearly complete. I think I have another 10 days or so to go.
Here's the thing, I'm torn on the hood, that is yea or nay. Since opinions are easy to find here on RC, I figured I'd ask you guys!
I have a simple hood fabricated and it looks very nice. But I also like the rimless look. I'm be running a single AI SOL unit.
I'm curious what others are using to mount the AI Sol to the top of the tank. I don't like the ceiling suspension, I'd like something can mount to the top securely.

i have a 5g illuminata, and a 24g custom made aio rimless.
i've got the jbj unibody over the 24g, but i still need to get a good led light over the 57g illuminata.
i've been debating over which way to go on this tank. if the jbj 108 was out i would just get it.
i'm considering the following while i wait.
mazarra p need 2 units
radion
ecoxotic panarama pro
ebay black box dimmable version
kessil a150w need 2 or wait for the 350
