    J-Dog's NEW 60x30x24 BUILD

    Yes, I used 1/2 inch plywood on top of the stand. I just looked and there already is a picture posted on my overflow with the Bean Animal showing. Does something look wrong in the picture?

    J-Dog's NEW 60x30x24 BUILD

    After doing some research I decided to go with an ATB skimmer and return pump.... And now for the tank! Jason at Clear Fabrications did an awesome job....he is definitely the MAN when it comes to building quality tanks. Water going in...should be filled by tomorrow. More updates to come

    J-Dog's NEW 60x30x24 BUILD

    J-Dogs new tank

    Job well done Jason......This tank is sweet! If I didn't pick it up today, I would have had to wait another 2 weeks (and I couldn't wait that long). Jason does great work and I would recommend his abilities to anyone out there that needs a new tank. Thanks again man, I can't wait to get this...

    J-Dog's NEW 60x30x24 BUILD

    Thanks peppie! The overflow will be coast-to-coast with a bean animal. No closed loop, flow will be provided using Vortech MP40's. I want the system to be as quiet as possible, so the least amount of equipment, the better. If u have any tips, please let me know.

    Are ATB skimmers any good?

    I've been looking into skimmers for my new build and wanted to know how ATB's were. I've personally never heard of them and don't know anyone that has one, so it's hard for me to figure them out. I know they are really expensive, so I don't want to buy one, unless I know they are they are...

    Skimmer advice...PLEASE HELP

    I am attempting my first tank build in the next few weeks and I need a little advice on a new skimmer. My tank will be about 185 gallons with a 55 gallon sump....I'm thinking a medium bioload, but might go heavy in the future. Any suggestions on a good skimmer? I want my system to be as quiet...

    Need advice on my 200 gallon tank build

    This is gonna be a tough task trying to get lots of flow. If this was your tank build, how would u plumb the system? I also wanted to ask, how much rock would u recommend for my size tank? And how would u recommend I aquascape to limit my dead spots?

    Need advice on my 200 gallon tank build

    Wow, that seems like a lot of outlets for flow. How would u place rocks and corals so that nothing is getting directly blasted by flow? I'm sure u could set things up initially to work, but after corals start growing, they are going to move in front of nozzles and get killed by flow.

    Need advice on my 200 gallon tank build

    Wow Krish, thanks for all the detailed pics, they really helped a lot. So looking at your loclines, they weren't really pushing water from low to high. It looks like all 4 are pointed down....I thought u said u wanted to have flow roll from low to high, that way the detrius doesn't settle on...

    Need advice on my 200 gallon tank build

    How exactly does a closed loop work?

    Need advice on my 200 gallon tank build

    Thanks for the pics Krish. So besides using powerheads, the only other way to get good flow is to use a closed loop that's setup on another pump? I don't want to use powerheads, other than the MP40's.....so is a closed loop system my only option?

    Need advice on my 200 gallon tank build

    When u talk about PH's (power heads), do u mean return nozzles coming off the return pump?
