Re: test

If you can't figure out the resize thing, you can email the pic and I can do it. Photobucket is a good place to host pics that you want to put on a website. Under the picture on photobucket will be the IMG link all ready to go for you, all you have to do is copy and paste it to here.

Re: My 120g build thread (Picture Heavy)

Thanks for the compliments :D I will finish painting the stand tomorrow with the second coat and I will post one more pic. I have a question though. What should I use to paint the back of the tank?

Re: Changed: Protein skimmer what do you have/want

I would consider the Reef Octopus HOB http://www.reefspecialty.com/Protein-Skimmers-Super-Reef-Octopus-Super-Reef-HOB/c21_103_129/index.html I don't know if the HOB are good but the regular ones seem to be getting good reviews. I think if I was looking to get a HOB I would be seriously considering o...

Questions before I build my stand

I was wondering what stand height I should use on building my stand. I will be used for a 120g AGA tank. I was thinking around a minimum of 36" or maybe right at 36" since the tank is 24" tall. That would put the top of the tank at aprx. 5'. Also what did you guys paint your stands wi...

Re: FS: Filter Socks / Micron Bags

Do you still have some available? I will order some but of all the threads from the many saltwater forums haven't gotten any updates in a while so I wonder if you might have ran out or moved on? Let me know.

Re: Thinking...

Nice looking corals but it is amazing how expensive they are. What are they like maybe 1/2" for $150. :shock: I would buy one if it were a bit bigger, those looked like they would blow away in the current :D

Re: Salt order for this Friday

Andy, How do you want to handle the payment before order? I know I will take 1 box and might decide at the last minute if I want one more. They have the $8 flat shipping thing going no now if you are willing to wait the 7 days or so. Maybe we can get more in on this shipping rate. Will you want us t...
