    Let the drilling begin!!

    Well...I did it. I got brave, and finally sat down and started drilling my 200gal. tank...it's 3/4" glass. Very nervous drilling the first hole...very tense...ready to crap my pants the second I cracked the glass. lol Took me just under an hour for the first hole, and only 30 min. for the...

    Kicking around some ideas...

    I've heard enough to convince me it wont work. The biggest problem I could think of was the amount of water pressure to each hole. Just sounds like it wont be good enough for what I need it for. I do like the idea, and the pic, of the closed loop that Katchupoy showed. Very cool idea. I'll most...

    Kicking around some ideas...

    The tank I want to build this for is a 200gal. tall. Someone mentioned I may have a problem with water flow at the tops of the "towers". They said all the water will want to shoot out of the lower holes. Could I solve that problem by drilling small holes at the bottom and work my way up the...

    Kicking around some ideas...

    Alright...here's my idea to get rid of the powerheads, in my tank. Since I'm not too familiar with closed loop systems, I started thinking of ways I could put a pump inside the main tank, attach PVC and use that for circulation. Here's a few pics of my idea. You guys let me know what you think...

    Extreme Makeover House

What size was the...

    New sump ideas...

    My friend that owns a fish store is taking my fish on Tues. He's going to keep the Red Coris Wrasse (doubtful he'll survive though), the Scopas Tang, The Whitemouth Moray and the Dog Faced Puffer. Then, the 200 is being torn down and not being put back up until I get the new sump done and the...

    New sump ideas...

    The 29gal. tall is 30" wide X 13" deep X 19" high. I'm planning on building a bigger stand for the 200gal. The stand, right now, is only 30" high with a single 20" wide door on the front. Makes it a HUGE pain in the butt to get to the sump. I'm planning on building a stand that's 6' long X 36"...

    New sump ideas...

    Alright....I figure since I have to move anyway, and I'm having HUGE ammonia problems, I'm going to tear down the 200gal. and add some things I meant to add when I first got it. First, I'm going to drill the tank and add built in overflows. Second, I want to put in a closed loop system.....if...

    Problems...

    Well...I think I found the source of the ammonia. Yesterday, I took all the equipment out of the actual tank....powerheads, overflow box...dismantled everything and scrubbed it. Today, I'm going at my sump. Cleaning everything. I took out all the bioballs, in the first chamber. At the bottom...

    Wow...talk about alot of replies. lol Thanks guys...now, on to answer some of your questions... How big are the fish?...The eel is 2.5' long. The Puffer is 6". The Red Coris is 8". The Scopas Tang is 4". Those are the only inhabitants, other than a 4" Hermit. Do you feed them live fish...

First, let me state that I'm running it with a sump (no skimmer)...and that's basically my only filtration. I know, I know...definately need a skimmer. Just havent been...
