Maybe a pirates cove rock formation?

just make sure the furniture doesn't wobble now the back is off. Might be a good Idea to screw in a 2x4 or something alont the back for support.

I like the idea of having carbon (chemipure) put there. You don't have to fill it completely. I would leave a little space so that I could add in different media as required (maybe even a sponge or some floss, can't remember what physical filtration you proposed for your new tank.

Just do us a favor and post a pic of the finished project please! Good luck.

Stunning Mike absolutely stunning. Any plans on what's going in it?

I don't know if it will fit, but more light is always a good thing (within reason and this appears to be.) If you think you can cram three bulbs the size you have now. Go for it, but remember heat may be an issue when they are all on...then you will have evaporation, so you may need an ATO...

Constant temperature is more important that a single number IMO. So if you can keep the temp within a single degree your fish/corals should adjust. Try to see if you can keep it at 81 constantly. JMHO.

Hmm if a problem with voting occurs then maybe the next step would be to have a requirement of posts to vote as well. I'd love to participate in a contest and maybe even donate a couple bucks. (need to have tank set up first :lol: )

Man, that is a great looking setup. I love how all the things to keep a reef healthy commonly are larger than the reef itself (at least at this forum :lol: ). In the last picture, is the glass "box" to the left of your skimmer your DSB?

You're welcome and let us know how it all turned out and maybe a pic of the finished project just to wrap up the thread??

I have drilled an old AGA 10 gallon with no problems (dremel with diamond tip glass cutting bits), just go slow, use cool water running over the glass constantly, and keep about 2 inches away from the edges of the glass (for integrities sake). Oh yeah wear eye protection. Down side, you'll...

YAY :clapping: :banadance: :award: :jugg: :bash1: Glad to hear everyone (except the poor goby RIP) made it free and clear. Thanks to you I'll probably buy a small UV unit to have for just in case.

I would suggest using a bulkhead instead of an overflow. With the acrylic it can be "drilled" with a dremel or a router quite nicely. Depending on how far away and how much flow you want is how big a return pump you want. A maxijet1200 can take the water straight up 3 feet with no problem...

Absolutely stunning! Please let us see it with live stock in it.

Ok stupid question. Egg crate. Where in the world do I buy just a small section (online vendors sell by the carton, at least the ones I've found). I've heard home depot but couldn't find it. Is it called something else to the non-fish world? :turnip

Sounds like the best idea to me.

This is a perfect excuse for a new stand :???:

Well thank you. I will simplify that plan by removing the first set of baffles and placing eggcrate so I can run media. I have a float switch ATO with a back up float switch so I'm not too worried about the size of the return area (I'll probably change my tune when a problem arises though :D...

Nice, keep up the good work.

This place sells moldable holders. Also DIY ATOs. Not sure if it's better, just another idea. http://www.aquahub.com/store/index.html
