You did but, Its no big deal. If anything I have time. I haven't commited to anything yet. the more info I gather the better off I am.

YES! now that I look at it your are right! I can't believe I didn't think of it before this. Thanks - I will move it asap.

I've been reading and looking at all the suggestion. I think I may go with a remora aqua c or a cpr bak pak. I've got a 2 x96 coralife pc that I can trade towards or sell. I'm starting to collect a lot of stuff and I'm not using it so this is a good way of getting rid of at least one thing...

Let me get a few shots of it and I send them. It will get stations from around the world on it too. It's really nice.

Rip, What are you using now?

Thats what I was going to ask...just take a dermel to the fins until the flow you want is reached. There is still 2+ days left on bidding. I use ebay for almost everything and in the last few mintues it could go up 40 dollars. Not that is a bad price I just wondering what it will be at the...

I talked with someone in the chatroom lastnight and they said that a hang on back style filter (ac500) was worthless. The only thing that really works is a sump style filter. They said because you have to have 1/2 the volume of the tank for the filter to work a HOB doesn't have the size needed...

It was a stand made to hold a 1940 blaupunkt radio. It was built to last! I was really worried about it getting weak after pulling the back off but, it didn't have any effect on it. everything is dovetailed joints that are glue and nailed together. Real old school work. I also pulled the back...

Can I use a ac300? it will be on a 10gal. The LFS wants $85.00 for a ac500! I could order a 500 online if I need to. But, If I can get the same results from a 300 I'll just get that. It will also make it easier to follow the DIY thread above, it uses a ac300.

mikeguerrero, do you run a fluval? what types of filter media do you use?

Just wondering how they perform?

Yes it is a MH. Its 20k 175 watts. I may have to play with how high its off the water but, so far the temp hasn't been an issue.

I did it! I was able to pull the back off my stand which freed the whole back of my tank up for whatever I need! I'm looking into a CPR HOB Refuguim. Here's a shot with the back off....

I guess this is the same thing without the brand name? http://cgi.ebay.com/PRO-18-Hang-On-Refu ... dZViewItem

I'm considering getting an AC500 and converting it to a refugium. I was hoping some of you could post what you did and pics of you have them. Thansk all!

I hate it when you guys are right....Let me see what I can do. Even if I cut the current stand what would I do for a overflow or could I mod an AC500 for filtration?

Quote "This is a perfect excuse for a new stand" I knew someone would say that! Anyone know of someone that is making an overflow that I could use on a 10gal? I'm thinking I could drill some holes in the back and run lines into a sump(refugium)

Well here a few shots of the tank right now....as you can see there isn't much room for anything around the tank....to the back there is 2 inches between the tank and stand then there is around 3 1/2 inches on the sides...
