any time...but no warped acrylic though... It's way to hard to work with...

might have to take you up on that.. down the road. really need to get some bubble baffels in..
 
I pulled it in last night because I thought it might rain. I want to have at least one week with it filled up to see if I have any pin hole slow leaks. Hopfully this week will clear up a bit and I can fill it and leave it. If I left it full and it rained, it would stay wet under it and I wouldn't ever know if it was from rain or a leak.
 
Ok, I am putting it in the bathroom which kinda blocks the toilet. You better make this worth it since I am going to get a "talking to" from the Boss (only she doesn't know yet!)
 
The marriage thing seems to make women remeber more ****. more of the stupid ****. just my $.02. :lol:

on another note....
I've been thinking about the plumbing idea. The tunze is awsome, but it just doesnt get the entire tank. -Could be partly the way I have it set-up, could be the fact that theres absoulty no way im getting flow throughout the entire tank on 1 powerhead. I DO want a small area of minimal flow for the 'clam corner' and for my small prop section.

I'm wanting to do 2, maybe 3 nozzles in the return. For some reason, I like the way PVC looks in the tank. Especially when its covered on coraline (sp)

Check out how this guy did his returns:

think I might try this.
 
for the meantime I have set-up a 20g beer cooler for a sump. I wanted to get the skimmer running so I just decided to work on this yesterday.

I think I have the skimmer dialed in. Took a little bit of messing around but its doing its job. I think im going to have to put a overflow in it. They also make a gate mod for the skimmer...so I might give that a try. This is really only a few hours of skimming...

holding 10g of water. I only have 1 return flowing into it right now.

workin fine for me. Ive empitied that **** twice since I got it figured out monday/lunch time. im happy with it.
 
Thanks again Jeff for the help with the sump! Its SO much appreciated!

I will make a new thread once the sump is up and running. :)
 
Wow.

Didnt know there was so much reefer activity on Oki. Just spent two weeks there and came back last week (UFL Exercise). I was born there in '64 and spent a lot of time in Naha looking around.

Are you guys keeping your tanks at home? With the amount of rock all over the place (yards, along the streets, etc....) have you used any in your tanks?
