    Integrity of old acrylic 300 gal tank

    thanks for the insight. My apologies for my impatients. I'm still waffling on weather I want to get involved with this mod. I don't think I can get my arms down into the overflows to make the neede repairs to the lower return bulk heads? They may have to be abandoned? The way this tank...

    I have 3 pumps which are all little Giant 4-MDQ-SC will need to be replaced. All are plumbed outside the sump, under the tank, within the stand, with bulkheads through the base front side of the sump. Although these pumps have stood the test of time (14 years) (1 - supply from the sump to the...

    buffing out scratches on acrylic - any ideas?

    We'll l need to remove lots of scratches off a used large (3/8" thick) acrylic tank. What's the best method/product? Are there small motorized buffers (maybe for a rotozip) that are ok to use? All are on the inside view panels. Some are fairly deep. Seems like a long day in the making to buff...

    All-Flo Freedom filter???Any thoughts

    Well Cotton28, if you are taking about me, which I'm sure you are? I have nothing to do with this company period. I also have no idea where they are located and really don't care. I still stand by my posted comments and would attribute your "tank of doom" to your own matinenance practice or...

    All-Flo Freedom filter???Any thoughts

    Cotton28, I'm not discounting your experience as you obviously had a bad one with this unit/company, but, mine skimms continuously, and always has from the start. I have the smaller unit rated for a 90gal and under on my tank. I get a full container every 4 to 5 days set on the dryer mode...

    Want to start over the right way - advice plz?

    Nothing can beat good tank maintenance practices with good nutrient export. Employ both a good solid skimmer and regular, weekly, smaller water changes. Also the longer you wait to add fish and corals the better off you will be. Add a good clean up crew early. Plan your list of fish and the...
