I live in Alexandria. I'd take 100 for the tank and canister together

I live in Northern VA and I have a few things for sale. I have an Eheim 2217 Canister Filter and a 36 gallon bow front aquarium for sale. I'd be willing to ship the filter, but the aquarium is local pick up only. Would anybody will be interested in these?

I've got a 20 gallon standard tank under my 75 gallon display tank. Not a whole lot of room under there now. The Reef Octopus 150 is HUGE! It didnt look that big when it was out in the open, but once placed in my 20 gallon...it takes up half of the sump. I decided to hard plumb the return...

I've decided to go with a 20 gallon standard tank. I'll keep ya'll updated tomorrow when I wet test everything. Thanks for all the input.

It would fit...if I could get it through the door. There's more than enough space under the display tank. Problem is that the door opening is too small for the 20 gallon long to squeeze through. however, 2 10 gallon tanks would absolutely fit underneath it. I'm just worried at this point...

that might work. I like the 2 tank sump idea. In fact, I think I just might go with that. I'll have to do some measuring and I'll have to buy a diamond tip drill bit, but I think that that might be the way to go. Thanks so much! If it works, I'm gonna put it on youtube and I'll title it...

Ted, thanks for the response. I dont know enough about wood working to know if the sides of the tank are gonna be okay to cut. I know that with the right tools, I can make an opening in the side of the stand for sure...whether or not thats structuraly sound, i'm not so sure. And I think my...

Fishyreef: Thanks for the response. I do not have a center bracket that is causing this problem. When i open the door of my stand, it's just the size of the opening of the door that is the problem. It's just too damn small. No way to fit a 20 gallon long into the stand. Even if I take the...

It being a 20 gallon long keeps it from fitting through the door on my aquarium stand. I can get about half of it in, but that's it. If I could get in through the door completely, I'd have plenty of space. I figured the 10 gallon would be too small, I was just hoping someone would come on...

I have my 75 gallon salt tank all set up in our new home. I had it set up temporarily in our old house to test to see if I could handle a salt tank. I had a 20 gallon long tank set up next to my display tank on the floor as a sump. I bought a skimmer, return pump, Overflow, etc. It was...

I just bought a Reef Octopus 150 and its AWESOME! It comes with it's own pump for the skimmer. If you're referring to a return pump, I love my mag drive 9. It's relatively quiet(I use a small piece of styrofoam underneath it to help with the noise.) Just my opinion. I'm a relative newb...

welcome to the site. I just joined this month. Lots of good info and good people on here.

We used to live in Falls Church. It's quite a commute to Andrew Air Force Base(where I work). Wonton, I see that you have a 125 gallon. How do you light it? 2-3' foot fixtures or 1 6' fixture?

I was trying to talk the wife into looking at houses near lake ridge, but she wasnt havin any of it. Alexandria and springfield only...$$$$$$$$
