    How to measure radius of curved corners?

    I’ve never used ChatGPT before but that did it. It gave me a few options for tools to measure radius, going to be ordering them so I have on hand when the tank gets delivered. I’ll make a temporary diy lid while the custom is being done so my clowns don’t jump. Thank you for the lead!

    How to measure radius of curved corners?

    Ok I know there’s a lot of smart people in here. I need to figure out the radius of curved corners in the eurobrace opening so I can get a lid custom made. John says the opening is 41.75”x18”. He says the eurobrace is 4”. I don’t think I’ll be able to figure it out based off those numbers and...

    Eric's 60ish gallon build.

    It’s actually a mistake I made as well in the frag tank. Returns are lower than the overflow. Once I plumbed the locline on the returns, I just kinda arched them towards the surface and that’s enough to break the siphon when the return pump goes off. Kinda hard to see how the locline is placed...

    Eric's 60ish gallon build.

    Hmm good point… I guess benefits would be the same if it was in the sump or the tank? I actually never thought about that lol. This is why you’re the VP. Ive heard some stuff about miracle mud as well in the sump? I’ll start my own build thread soon and ask for opinions that way I don’t derail...

    Eric's 60ish gallon build.

    I keep hearing this a lot. I even read somewhere someone mentioned their frag tank didn’t finally stabilize until they added sand. I feel like I’m missing something in my current frag tank. I’m considering doing a “shallow reef” instead of a frag tank with the new build since I’ll have 18”H now...

    Man it’s crazy looking back at the original post to now. It’s a completely different tank. Beautiful work

    Reef 3D printing request thread

    I agree that there is a line we shouldn’t cross. I think it’d be wrong to outright copy someone’s idea they took the time to make and shared it for free. There is some gray area IMO. For example the ones I have from VCA I feel like have a design flaw. That’s my second pair that’s broken at the...

    I have something similar from VCA but mine broke lol. Wonder if your design would be stronger.

    Have you used the Caribsea Fiji Pink before? I originally had it on my Red Sea Max E 170 and it was my biggest regret. Even with just one MP10 in the tank set at low flow I’d always end up with sand dunes. Maybe mixing it with the crushed coral will make it better though

    Yes saltwater in ATO until you get your targeted salinity. That sudden increase in salinity you did is a huge jump

    Tank looks clean! Killer deal. It’s new tank season! @Ayman, share pics when you put it in its spot, congrats!

    MD’s 50 Gallon Low Boy

    Alright guys. Seems like this tank thread will die in a few weeks once I get my new tank in. Plan is to keep setup the same, just swap out the tanks. New tank is 8” taller so I will have to adjust the plumbing. Good thing I used unions so I can just extend off of them. I’ll have to increase the...

    @Ayman I think it’s definitely a go. In the video he sent Ayman it looks a lot better than the pictures show because the angles/lighting. Definitely is a really good deal. If Ayman or his friend don’t buy it, I might have to haha

    Reef 3D printing request thread

    I’m still new to 3D printing as well but I find sometimes trouble shooting varies depending on the printer. If your friend has Facebook, there’s a few different groups I’ve found very helpful.

    @Darkxerox did you ever find the file for this?

    Yeah off the picture, I had told him to pass. Doesn’t look bad on video. But angle/lighting plays a big part. I wouldn’t commit to anything without seeing it in person first. I told him I’d go with him to check it out and give a second opinion.

    65 gallon tank

    Mine has a gate valve on it. I just turned it a little in the morning and would check it out at night. Kept doing that until I got it to where I wanted it. Took a few days. Any adjustment will take a good while to show, so don’t just move the knob and expect to see the change immediately.

    I think it’s the lighting. Pretty sure those are the same parts I pointed out to him over text. The seller sent him another video that Ayman shared with me via text and it didn’t look bad. Definitely would have to look over them in person though
