makes sense :) ty

Not wanted but why build this when they can just live in the LR in the sump. Dont mean to hijack the thread. Looks interesting.

what do these do? cant you just have pods in your chaeto? I've seen people talk about these but never knew why they were wanted

vinegar is my new favorite substance! all clean!

I'd check the silicone seals over really well. I get people donating tanks to me from craigslist and I end up resealing/rebuilding a lot of them. That would be my main concern. I'd also ask for a leak test. It'll be kinda weird standing around for 30-45 min watching it but the last thing you...

oh ok. That doesn't seem to be too bad. I may look into it more. ty

Now I'm almost certain this would be more work then it's worth but I'd like to ask anyway. My acrylic tank has a blue acrylic panel as the back. Is there a way of painting it that would create a solid bond and not be harmful to any of the live stock? Other than that the only thing I've thought...

That's what I thought. Just wanted to be sure. Thank you.

Is that what this is? Would I be able to fill the tank with a vinegar solution for a couple days to loosen it up? It's an acrylic tank. I know some chemicals are a big no no for acrylic but I haven't heard anything about vinegar. Just want to make sure before I start.

+1 Kelz. I found this out as I was doing my research. In the beginning I planned on a FOWLR system that I'd eventually convert to a full reef but my fish choices didn't reflect that change. I was bummed but I ended up throwing out a lot of the fish (from the list!) that weren't reef capable with...

any updates/pics? I'm thinking about having a display fuge since I cant fit it under my stand.

wow that's so cool!

TY! I'm excited! I was forutnate enough to be in the right place at the right time to get this. It came with everything needed to start and run a tank (sump, skimmer, pumps, RO system, etc). I just need to replace the sand, which was crushed coral, and get some rock. It also needs a heavy...

Is this calcium/algae growth? Could I let it soak in a vinegar solution for a day or two to loosen it up without damaging the acrylic?

So the color coding indicates the type? The ones I have are blue so they are what I need if that's true. Thanks again!
