    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    yeah my "leak" aka "water wants to go on floor NOW" was due to the outflow piping jumping out of my tank, I think i might have to get rigid pvc pipping so that it stays in place since it has to rest on top of the entire back glass. but now i have a water spike, my alk is through the roof..not...

    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    So I hooked the sump up to tha main tank, 2 gallons of water on the floor and 4 hours later ( was having some plumbing/gravity problems) but now it's hooked up, yay unfortunatly my corals look made and the mag3 is blowing crazy amounts of water and all the corals closed up, I'm hoping that...

    Need Canadian or U.S sites

    I've ordered some stuff from customaquatic.com and was satisfied with my order, just as a precaution if you order from the states there's normally a customs fee( it didn't occure to me until i got the bill) I've also ordered from J&L Aquatics and was really happy ( really quick and no extra...

    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    I am pretty proud :cool: but one question, I was a bit skimpy with siliconing the bottom of the first baffle and there's a bit of a leak into the return section, should I fix this? will this cause problems? or is it alright as it is? thanks

    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    alright so here is a shot of the sump/fuge that cannot be termed as "pretty" due to my subpar siliconing abilities, but hopefully it works...had such lofty dreams but i'm happy with it anyway. Hopefully it doesn't leak...cause that would be bad :( so here's the full/half empty tank shot (...

    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    already forgot the smell...(I work with organic solvents so the silicone smell is nothing in comparision) on another note...spraypainting indoors is a bad idea! ( spraypainted the stand and back of the tank today in my basement...on the new floor...paint everywhere...and i'm...

    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    so I siliconed, possibly not a professional job, but i'm certain the glass is NOT going to be going anywhere...was wondering if you used masking tape or painters tape 1/2 inch ( or smaller) away from the seam would that work to keep the silicone in place as you smuge it in? thought of that after...

    My first and Only tank ( 30g)..so far ;)

    College Nano ~ 20L style

    talk about a cliffhanger... I've just read the entire thread and then the last post... was way to depressing, and nerve wrecking (going away for the first time since setting up my tank) I really hope the tanks are okay, your tanks are awsome, very cool tanks! ( I want to start a mantis tank...

    What are these?

    the pic is a bit blury I'm no expert but my Mojo's ( had a few at the begining) were kinda half circlish..like a head on frogspawn, with a thin foot connecting it to the rock...and my mushrooms are flat, or layed out looking with only the foot attached. not sure if that helps, all I did to...

    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    okay so initially I was all pumped to get this done over the weekend...but then new years happened... So I've ripped up the broken tank( stealing glass from it) and measured the to be sump/fuge tank. the inside measurements are 23.5 X 12 X 19h=23g, so the dividers will be 15 inches high...

    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    this sucks :( Of course, now you can just call it a sump, no more fuge NEVER!!!! it's officially a "display fuge" no matter what happens ( even if all i can get is some really ugly cheato's, and fireworms in there) now that i can actually see the tank, and the depth i have to work with i'm not...
