John. It has been great going over your tank like all the other TOTM's.
But.. As it is November 4th in Europe I am logging on every morning waiting for the new TOTM. I leave myself a good hour of quality work time to check out the new tank and go over the filteration, lighting and verything the TOTM winners do to achieve such a plesant tank.
So can anyone answer me on the when is the new monthly updates take place ??

Thought this one was gone...
Mac,
I only have two vertical braces, but the front half in anchored into the wall. The two that are there are 4x4's bolted with 6" lag bolts...
Hope that helps.....

Didn't want to find out too late that the two verticals wouldn't do it........

Beautiful tank! Can you give me some info on your Durso mod for your Euro Reef skimmers? I have a CS6-2 and would like to get rid of the sponge.

Thanks very much,
I am not really sure where the info is, but I will try to explain:
You will need a 1 1/4 inch piece of pvc, 1 "t", and one "90", alsp 1 cap for the top of the "t"...
Basically, the t connects to the riser tube, vertically, after you remove the sponge, drill a 3/8 inch hole int the cap and put it one the top of the T, connect the 90 to the horizontal part of the t and then run about a 8 inch piece from the 90 down for water return.....
the riser tube will still work same as before, up and down for water adjustments.........
I know this is a little confusing, but if you look at the pics of my sump, you should be able to see what I am talking about........
PM me if you need further assistance........

Hi John,
I'm new to Reef Central, got here by Wet Web Media (Calfo and Fenners site)
Beautiful tank! my future goal would be to move in your direction. Need more space and
$$$$$ but you know I won't let that stop me. javascript:smilie('') I've been in the hobby for over 10 years now. Don't really think of it as a hobby. This stuff we do is way beyond that. javascript:smilie('')
Any way, could you tell me what you did to your Euro Skimmer and sponge? I'm in the process of buying a Euro and would like to know as much as I can about DIY stuff. Please, If you could explain in detail or lead me to the thread that explains what you did. One other thing, What supports the weight of your tank? Did you build your stand yourself?
Thanks so much,
I would be glad to chat anytime about what we do in this hobby. I'm always looking for things people do to improve their reefs. casperso@optonline.net
