OK here is an update on my tank. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I got the rock in the tank and I have been keeping the lights off so I dont get a resurgance of the slime that I had in the 30G. My seals in my filter were all dried and the hose block would leak constantly. I contacted...

Wow 1974... Alot has changed since then. We still have the lobsters and crabs in all the grocery stores, Madigan is still here, I am not sure about the boat races on Spanaway Lake (out of season right now), but I did hear a speed boat on the lake last weekend. Brown and Hailey is still here...

The "New" tank is doing OK. I didnt have enough salt to start it properly but I have it mixing right now. I kept the LR from my old tank that had the green slimy stuff on it and well.. not all the green stuff died off while in storage. I am going to treat the tank with the slime be gone stuff...

Hey guys. I have finally moved to my new home. I am in WA now thank god I am out of VA. I dont have any room for my 30G tank in this little house so I have it in storage. I again made the 90G a freshwater (sorry I still cant afford the LR and filtration for it) but I am building my 15G into...

BTW the forums really changed alot since I was here last. I was not sure that I was even in the right place when I first logged in. Massey

The 90 Gallon will be fresh water again and with schooling community fish just like it was before. I am going to be building a canopy and upgrading my filter. The canopy will match the stand (the one I built a few months ago). With the filter I built it with a 15g tank as the base but when...

Hey guys, Well I am back kinda, I never really left I just have not been on in quite a while. I am in the process of moving across country and all my tanks are in transit. I am going to defidently set up the 90 gallon tank again (sry still not a salty tank I cant afford the equipment for it)...

Yes the lights will be under the tank and shown up through the bottom. I am going to use a clear bead or marble for the gravel and I am trying to get a purple/garnet color to match the stain for the wood. Massey

OK here is a rough drawing of the long side. This is all the farther my design is going to get on paper since I lack the drawing ability and I only need notes for future reference. This stand will be stained in the same color stain as the tank stand and also the same wood and routing will be...

I dont have any pics as of yet but I just came up with the design in my head for a wooden coffee table with a glass top and a 15G tank inside. In order to build this I need to find some one in my area that has a table saw that can rip a 1x4 and leave a 45° angle. I will post the design pics...

OK here are the last 2 pics till I get the fishies and other stuff for the tank. I hope you all enjoy, and thank you all for the compliments. Massey

I used a router for the tob and bottom trim. Using premade trim is the cheap way to go if you ask me. I built this all with screws except for the top and bottom frames which are held together with finishing nails but the sides also support them making a very strong stand. The fishtank is...

I am going to build the canopy after I get the tank up and running. My hood is brown while the rest of my stuff is black, plus I was to add some lights for plants later on and I will be needing those lights hidden too. I will keep you all informed about the hood I am going to try for a very...

Biff you changed your avatar!! lookin good and I will check out Marine Depot Thanks Massey

The pump will be submerged. I am going to make the plumbing with a T so I can bypass the extra pressure back into the sump to prevent overflows and also so I dont stress the pump by restricting the flow. Massey P.S. Does any one know where I can get one-way valves for PVC pipe? I believe...
