    Hi Ruth!Yeah I have read the thread I was about to send my comment when the server went down. For me the reason of going for an acrylic tank is to be able to used Scotts shotgun and bore a lot of holes on it! :lol: :lol: :lol: If I remember right you have all the fittings with you and just...

    Here's the practice hole I made.Remember to fit your BH on this hole this will give you confidence mounting the BH to you tank. I can't imagine if I haven't done this and drilled a hole directly in my tank. :cry: :cry: They look like hidden Mikey to me! :lol: :lol: :lol: This is pretty...

    Here a bit of an update on the drilling status.Yesterday I bought some circular saw and tested it with a plastic sheet. Fitted the BH's and guess what the saw for 3/4 BH was way to loose for comfort so I'll be going back again in the afternoon to buy another one that's tighter.I charged this...

    Hey Scoot!That's a good idea its one way to accelerate the progress of this tank :D :D :D Ok! Charlie I'm a bit slow but I think I'm getting the idea of that extra space in the sump for dumping the water volume above that drain pipe.I just thought there is more to it.I'm buying the ball...

    Here is a test on the plumbing layout.There are a few things missing that I have not ordered to Marine Depot I'll get them locally. I'm very glad of the decision of sourcing out the fittings from the US well worth it.They are the quality products that a tank deserves.And to think that this is...

    Ken Hi!Nope!They pertain to the flow going in and out of the tank.A bit confusing sometimes when you read the labeling if the source is not specified. Joey

    I thought so Charlie just a while back I was checking on the space the BH and the T's will it up much of my back space. I just hope I had the table top made big enough (28"wide) so when I move the tank forward I'll still have an inch to put the base border. Then when I attached the CL pump I'll...

How's you...

    SSB vs BB

    I wish I could say it's mine but I took the pics in Ocean Park. I wasn't able to get the details because the kids are in a hurry. I was taking it though with Mojo in mind :D :D :D They have huge fish tank there as large as your Monterey with a diversity of fish. I'm sure my wife will agree...

    Hi!Krish no problem it's my pleasure.It's a bit on a slow pace though coz this is my first reef set up. I had tanks before but no where near this kind. :D So I'm groping for every step trying to read here and there. I found a way to accelerate the process though so now I'm done with it! :lol...
