And now, the hood? Great job. The entire tank set up (inhabitants included) is just gorgeous.

I'm slowly making my way through your thread, and just had to take a minute to say, "WOW!" I love your tank and stand. What an amazing setup

LOL! Love the name of your journal. Can't wait to see pics.

Well, I don't claim to be an expert, but it was kind of fun. I would totally be willing to help! ... Before you accept, take a second look at the title of my journal. LOL

Very true about having other things to worry about in an 8.0 quake. But honestly, I'm an animal lover, and having no kids, my first worry would be my pets, dogs and (soon) fish and coral. And my hubby, having installed them himself, really worries about his floors. IDK if he would be willing to...

Not bad at all. And it must be super cool that they are so up close and personal.

Bummer! About the losses!

How long does that take?

Thanks Mark. I actually added zip ties to the hose fittings. I wonder if that will hold? I do check every other day or so for leaks, but I imagine that may change over time, as I get comfortable with it all.

Thanks. Will do, actually gonna do that now.

Thanks!

After I found the plumbing basics article above, I decided that plumbing was not beyond me. And I tackled it. This help a lot. I bought all the parts I thought I would need. HA! Then ended making another 15 or 20 trips to OSH and Home Depot. And I got busy. I had a couple of leaks, one...

I joined, or became a member. Not sure about the terminology, but I'm in.

I'll look into it.

My stand doesn't have a lip. My hubby REALLY wants to tack one on, but I figure Aqueon knows more about this stuff than I do, and hesitate to change anything. IDK!

Yeah, rygh (Mark) just explained both issues to me. It makes sense now, and I apologize for thinking badly of RA. I'm going to order the bare bones for now. I'll upgrade with the RF and dimming expansions later. I can do without for now. I mean, it will probably be months before I get a single...

See! I spoke too soon about the LED dimmer. Although my lights do have green and red, I could do without them for now. Thanks for clarifying. You're right, def no false advertising. I could also start without the fancy mode control on my powerheads to start with. I'll go ahead and place my order...

I know, it's just my newbie misunderstanding. I thought I would get by with buying the controller and wifi expansion alone. I'm just disappointed. I'll get over it.

That's a good point. They didn't say how big a quake that was. But I foresaw a different ending to that video, so made my hubby watch it with me. Now he's really freaked out. LOL

Okay, so I'm pretty disappointed right now. I was planning on buying this product... Since it says right on the website that I could control LED dimming and powerheads, I assumed I would be able to control my LEDs and powerheads with the controller. Silly me! Now, if I understand it correctly...
