One of the JBJ OceanStream 1600 powerheads died. JBJ does not sell replacement impellers. :( Got a much smaller and more energy efficient Tunze NanoStream 6045 which pushes just as much water.

There are two drilled holes, one larger than the other. I believe they are for 3/4" and 1 1/4" interior diameter bulkheads. I definitely agree about using both for drain and continuing to use an external hose for return. I have been looking online and it appears that I have a herbie drain that...

With the gracious help of Dave @houser I was able to (barely) get the stand home. I am now working on plumbing. For anyone who has a tank with built-in a corner overflow could you take a picture of the drain plumbing? What I got has been modified for freshwater (and it appear it was done on the...

Here is the 92 Gallon tank waiting to be unloaded from the back of the SUV. The stand would have fit in the back as well if had been just half an inch shorter.

Thank yo all for the kind offers of moving assistance. I believe I have it covered but may reach out for review of my plumbing plan before I commit. Yes, I telecommute about 80-90% of the time and get to look at my tank all day long most days. If I am thinking, listening or talking on the...

Many scoffed and said it would it never happen but I have finally done it. I found and bought a 92 gallon corner tank as an upgrade from my soon-to-be-for-sale 55-gallon. Now I just need to get the stand, which did not fit into my SUV, from Santa Rosa... I still have to figure out getting the...

Going big!

:( Sadly I won't be able to make it on the new date. I will put up some DBTC posts for the frags I was planning to bring.

Going with the flow

Good to see you here again Erin! I think I had one of your DBTC corals though I don't know how to check what it was so I can see if it is still alive! I have a bunch of SPS and LPS I would be happy to share to get more variety in your tank if you wish.

Happy New Years!

Povidone worked best with monti nudis but it does nothing for the eggs. You have to dip everything twice a week for a month to get rid of them by breaking the lifecycle.

Right. The granite is mostly decorative and a nice material to make the long curve for the front. The plywood and wood box provides almost all the structural support. The box would be triangular with open front and a centre brace.

My wife had a great idea. Get a top made by a granite counter top place and mount that on relatively simple box with a 3/4 inch plywood top. Investigating this option.

Yes, that's the one.

I've wanted to upgrade my corner 54 gallon to a 92 gallon tank almost since I first started my reef tank. There's a 92 gallon with overflow available on craigslist for a reasonable price, but it doesn't come with a stand. Building a stand is probably beyond my abilities and certainly beyond my...

Welcome! Since you already have the pictures it is time for you to start a tank thread!

I've been considering vinegar and vodka dosing and am eager to see some real numbers from your experiments!

Great looking tank Kris. I hope to see it in person eventually!

If you are considering kalkwasser for your dosing then vinegar seems to be the way to go. I can't remember where the article I read was on using kalkwasser diluted with vinegar but the summary was that adding vinegar makes managing kalkwasser usage easier and also provides carbon dosing.
