Thanks a lot, Denzil. I'm sure you can do a great job. Let me know if I can do anything to help.

I'm planning to thoroughly wash and then re-use my old sand. Thank you, though!

Thanks, guys! The water is about an inch from the top. The overflow is loosely based on the bean animal overflow. (http://www.beananimal.com/projects/silent-and-fail-safe-aquarium-overflow-system.aspx). Basically there is a 3/4" downpipe with a gate valve that runs at full siphon, and a...

Thanks, Denzil! I don't have schematics with measurements, but here's the sketchup file if you'd like to see it. I built directly from it and it includes precise details and measurements except for a few things that I changed on the fly. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/41619449/AquariumStand.skp

That's awesome! Congrats!

Thanks, Steve! Sorry I've been MIA. It's nice to be doing some reef related stuff again, as well as to be poking my head in here.

Here the frame has been finished, leveled, and bolted in place. The finish is two coats of ZAR Tung Oil finish followed by several coats of satin wipe-on poly. In the background you can see wood shavings from leveling the stand and plastic shavings from planing down the trim on the tank. I made...

Okay, here are some pictures. First, the sketch-up model. The doors are not shown, but will be frame and panel with flat panels and a square profile. Here are the parts milled up for the frame. In this shot, the mortises aren't totally finished and the tenons haven't been cut yet...

Hi everyone. I haven't posted here much for a while, but recently I've been working on a new tank build and wanted to share my project with you all. Several years ago I bought the old system from a coworker who had gotten out of the hobby. It was about 60 gallons and came with an integrated...

Dang I'm going to have to miss this one tomorrow. Have fun, guys!

Cool, I'll bring it all. See you guys in a while.

I finally got around to figuring out what all I'm bringing: $50 - Euro-Reef Skimmer with Sedra 9000 Pump $50 - Brand new (still sealed in original packaging) CO2 solenoid valve $30 - Pressure booster pump for RO/DI ( http://www.spectrapure.com/St_kits_p3.htm ) $30 - SpectraPure dual...

That's cool. It (and the rest of the house) looks great.

That's gorgeous. What type of wood is the flooring?

I think I have it set to something like 40 or 50. It seems to not run all the time at least at that setting.

Thanks. The containers are from plastic-mart.com. 15x11x31 http://www.plastic-mart.com/item.aspx?id=2460 I like the containers, but I kind of wish they were open top with a lids. Also the lead time was pretty long.

Jim, my girlfriend may tag along. I have some gear to bring too: old sumps, a euro-reef skimmer with sedra pump, semi-functional litermeter III, etc.

Shh. Don't tell her.

Cool stuff! Thanks for sharing, Tony.

Thanks, Other Erin.
