Great tank!!! Tom does awesome work!! (as we all know)

so what are you doing with your 75 once you break it down?

Tank as of 11/04/04

Looks like I will set another tank for my torch coral and anemones with the maroons. There is no space for them.

I will proceed and later move my 2 orange-skunk clownfishes with no anemone.

Tank is looking good so far. Some sliming from corals, but expected from move.

so what are you doing with your 75?

 

[Elmo18]

Thank you for the nice comments. Day 2 of tank tomorrow. I will see if everything is ok.

Nikki, nice avatar hehe. You ever bump into one of those?

Matt, I will eventually sell it after I empty it out. I do have lots of rock leftover and would like to sell those first.

That is a nice looking set up. I wish my 55g looked as full as your 29g. Sweet indeed.

Is the sump really what I think it is? If it is, mega props!

We should all use cheap trashcans!

 

[mattseattle]

guess we must be rare or something.....i use a large rubbermaid food container for my sump. i think it cost me 8.00 and holds 20 gallons of water. fits my skimmer, my heater, my pH probe and my return pump with room to spare. it doesn't have the fancy dividers and all though....at least not yet.

 

[Elmo18]

This isn't any trashcan. It is a food-safe grade plastic container/bin for storing water and food. Remember, plastic does breathe, and is not a nonpermiable membrane.

I would see the specs on plastic trashbins first to make sure the plastic will not leech material into the water and contaminate it.

My sump isn't the best looking sump, but i usually can't see it from the outside

So is this the politically correct term for a clean trashcan? :badgrin:

Hey I have a storage bin for my refugium. I cut and heated one handle and bent it over to create the overflow into the sump. I had to add little plexiglass walls to keep the water from going out the sides but it works like a champ.

 

[tony]

Ill be using a pond for refugium.lol

 

[big t]

Looking Schweeeet! How are you going to clean the walls?

 

[Elmo18]

There is space all around the front of the tank and most of the sides. I'm guessing I will use an old credit card of some sort to clean up.
