    Mag Floats for 1" + Acrylic tanks

    I remember finding a link on here last year for a mag float algae scraper that could do 1"+ acrylic (or glass) tanks and would still float but I can't seem to find it anymore. It had removable pads and an acrylic polishing kit but I'm just looking for algae removal. It was not the actual Mag...

    Glass shop

    ohhh, thank you! that would have skipped my mind and not ended well. I'm pretty sure the piece on there now isn't tempered (considering how it has chipped and cracked).

    Glass shop

    Hi Guys, I was hoping someone could recommend a good glass shop that I can have make some aquariium covers and a 2x5' piece for a coffee table. It doesn't have to be very thick. Thanks, -Shawn

    MrGone's fish tank room

    Haha not quite. I'm hoping that when we are finished with the cabinetry it will look less like a store. Progress has been slower than expected, I think with the snow and holidays it took a back burner plus I'd been procrastinating on ordering some parts. It has been an expensive couple of...

    Snow picture!!!!!!!!!!

    I couldn't decide between "Bald Tires" and "Student Driver" so I went in a different direction :) Having some fun on the way home :) Its never like this :D I was home before traffic became the usual Seattle snow nightmare so I dusted off the camera (literally) and stuck to the back roads...

    Major arctic storm comming in. Warning!

    Hey quick question on that, would you recharge the battery directly from the generators 12v DC ports or use a regular battery charger on the generators 110v? I guess at that point it would be best to hook up the inverter to the generators 12v or just hope the generators 110v is clean enough not...

    CoralVue 14K and 20K mogul 250W bulbs?

    I run the Reeflux 20k's and like them a lot, hard to post pics because I don't have any comparisons using the same color balance settings.

    Haha thanks guys! I got all the aquariums in place, now waiting for the bulkheads to come and need to do the wiring (among other things)

    I was really glad I did that the first time I hit the brakes! I was just playing around but it rocked more than i thought it would.

    MrGone's fish tank room

    I was originally thinking about having the option to by-pass one of the 40 breeders but I figured in the end all the extra plumbing and such wouldn't really benefit much because there could be a risk re-attaching the 40b back onto the system and it would probably just be more of a hassle. The...

    What type of protein skimmer do you use?

    CNC 300A (think SWC 250A extended neck) on my 230 gallon system (Askoll 1500). Super Reef Octopus XP-5000 Internal Cone on my Dads 255 gallon tank (Bubble Blaster 5000). Royal Exclusiv Alpha Cone 300 on the 535g display I'm building (2x Red Dragon 1500).

    Thanks guys! psb, I don't know enough about that stuff :( Right now I have a Reef Keeper Lite on my 150 gallon, I will probably need to upgrade to the Elite for this system. The two 55 gallons will be used for water changes and it will be fairly automated except for opening and closing a valve...

    Anniversary Sale Version 4.0

    The Royal Gramma my Dad bought Sunday has a fun personality (or gravity issues), he swims upside down under the rocks about 90% of the time I'm really digging the clown tang, now I want one for my tank! :D The anthais he bought really made his tank more active (but need the LEDs to arrive to...

    MrGone's fish tank room

    That is what I am thinking, I think the angels would like the room to swim plus it will be easier to tinker with the 125gs for fragging and such. It will take a long time to fill in all these tanks, I don't have nearly enough rock, I'm sure a few will look very empty for quite a while! Hey...

    Increasing flow cheap and easy

    I'm hesitant to use them again, I had one and found my copperband suck to the side of it a few hours later so now I use it for mixing up saltwater :(

    MrGone's fish tank room

    I was a little afraid of so many tanks because I felt like it would detract from the whole or be a bit overwhelming, plus I like being able to look from the sides but we'll see how it looks when its done. I'm pretty happy with the results so far and there is a lot of flexibility with the sump...

    MrGone's fish tank room

    We ended up using regular paint after bouncing around a few ideas. We decided to go with white under so it would be easier to see things once doors are on and such. We used BEHR Premium Plus Interior/Exterior high gloss enamel to paint and used an acrylic sealant as ReturnofSid recommended to...
