How many pounds are you estimating will be on the slides? They also have http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=31305&site=ROCKLER that will do 220 lbs. If you have to go with the more expensive slide do you think you're going to benefit enough from that feature to make it worth your while...

For slides check out Rockler: http://woodworking.rockler.com/c/hardware They have a shop in Pleasant Hill just around the corner from All About Fish in the same shopping center. The plywood is 48.5" x 96.5" or 49 x 97 I think. It's over-sized but I just can't remember what the exact...

Thanks, Ron! No problems with the Coralife clicking?

OK, ask for "Shop Grade Maple", not Birch. The 3/4" runs roughly $44.20/sheet. They have 1/2" Maple but it's a step up from shop or paint grade and it runs around $54/sheet. That's better quality than you need if you plan on painting the stand. They do have a 1/2" shop grade Birch that's...

You do want to get the 2x4s from Home Depot. The Moulding Company only gets into sheet goods in addition to molding for the most part. You called these guys, yes? http://www.themouldingcompany.com/

What did you ask for when you called? You need to ask for 3/4" or 1/2" shop grade plywood. Which store did you call? I'll call Concord and see if I can get a part number or item number for the material I use. That might help.

No royalty in my lineage that I know of but I have enhanced certain parts on my anatomy and I have one heck of a medicine cabinet!! Think about spam as if it were junk-mail in your mailbox. Most of of toss it in the trash but some people actually fall for it. Same concept with spam. The...

Oddly enough, yes. I program Perl as a side business (semi-retired) and I've been asked to work jobs for spammers before. I guess I shouldn't say I know them personally but we most certainly discussed at length their motives in an effort to get me to take the job. The short answer is because...

That LED setup looks very cool. Is the lift manual or do you have plans to mechanize it? Very nice tank by the way! I really like the size. ~Charlie

I'm jealous! I can't see my tank from the can. Since my tank sits next to the kitchen table that is probably good for the fish and the family though. Jon, your corals look fantastic! What is the coral in the first pic of post #342? I have something similar and I cannot remember what it...

Very nice frag tank, Mike! Are you having another tank drilling party to get that up and running? :) ~Charlie

I totally missed that part :) Now I feel pretty silly

I think you're all getting a little slow. I think Jon, iCon and Mike are the only ones that caught on so far :)

I know what you mean about tacky but I would have hard time passing that up because of the simplicity and having easy access to the area underneath the ATO vat. You can always close the door and hide the tacky :)

Denzil - How about something like this from Home Depot? Seems like it'll be much cheaper and easier then what I was suggesting. Just put a piece of your 1/2" ply on top.

I'm in for one!! ~Charlie

Denzil - I added a very quick-n-dirty Sketchup pic of how I would do it. It should hold the weight without a problem. I's still recommend that Pine or Poplar for the legs. I would be a little leery of 1/2" ply used as legs with those narrow dimensions. That looks like a solid plan! I'll...

I definitely learned more about seahorses from that video. Maybe even more than I really wanted to know :)

A long time ago I know East Bay Vivarium used to be the place to go for reptiles. Give them a shot and see how they look now. ~Charlie

The A150s would be OK for LPS and softies. When I had them on my tank it kept the SPS alive but growth was minimal and they were all pretty much brown. It wasn't until I put the A350s on that SPS started to color up and really start to grow. Either way with Kessils you're going to get light...
