So he mentioned the other way of doing a steel welded frame and then using marine grade plywood with an epoxy/fiberglass composite on three sides, for the front a...

    1200 Gallon System Planning

    Not sure, I really really want to do star fire glass on the front two panels, but not sure of any tank builders in the area that work with glass on this scale. If anyone knows of a company that does great work then please let me know!

    Battle of LED's-DIY vs Mass produced

    I have Radions over my current setup, however im designing a larger system for when i move into my new house. i don't think using Radions would be efficient over this size of a system lol

    Curious to see if people favor one or the other. Also, please post what setup you have and how its been working for you. As well as any other information you might find useful, I.e. cost, intensity, bad and the good. Debating which way to go for a new system I'm designing so this will...

    They look like copepods or tiger pods. Very small though. On the filter socks, does the soap that could be left in the washer pose a potential issue?

    Also, im starting to worry about flow with just the 2 MP40's on either side of the peninsula, I might either need to take all the sand out in order to ramp them up to full or add another source of flow... :( not wanting to do either though haha
