Here is a full tank without the hammer. Just picked that up a week ago.

Thought I would stop in and post a new pic. Things have come along a little ways since the last picture.

ok i think I have a better idea of what I want to do now. I will be ordering new baffles on monday. Glad they were pretty cheap. Getting the plumbing supplies tomorrow. What are your thoughts on a ball valve on the drain?

I did not know the dimensions listed on a tank were just roiunded numbers. I had baffles cut and now they do not fit. It is listed as 13" wide but it is actually 12 5/8s. Guess I will not be gluing baffles until next week when I can get the glass cut. Rookie mistake I guess. If the tank...

Right on. Thanks for the help.

How far from the bottom do you put the middle baffle?

Does it matter what side the bubble trap is on? My plan right now is to have a 11 inch high baffle seperating my drain and skimmer. Then a bubble trap, then the fuge, then a 6 inch baffle seperating my return pump from the fuge.

Going to start to build the sump tomorrow. Any good tips for setting the baffles?

I sure she will!! By then I am sure I will be crazy anyway!

Who the tank is really for. She makes everyday fantastic. I am a very lucky daddy!!

So I have been following led's for a while now and I have heard the people here rave about the stuff at Fishneedit.com. So now they have an led and I was wondering what everyone thinks about it here. It seems like a good option and a good price. Thoughts?? Search Home > LED Fixtures...

I am going to split the return line and run it to both sides of the tank. I am also going to use flow accelerators. What would you recommend for power heads? Seems like a lot of flow with 3/4 returns.

I am having the guy at the lfs do it for me.

drilling it.

change of plans. I am going to be building a traditional sump with skimmer. What size for the drain and what size for the return? The sump is a 20 gallon high tank. Looking at a rio hyperflow 17 pump. Thoughts, suggestions, comments?
