Haha, I know someone will blast me on this :D. Mike, you are perfectly correct, it is only $10. Well, it is not the $10 that matters. I get enjoyment from money in two ways, spending money and saving money (I guess this explain a lot of useless good deal junks in my house). The thirll in saving...

Thanks Phong for sharing the trick. I have one more question for you painting experts. I like to paint black the plumbing in the overflow box, the back of the tank, and the styrofoam padding below the tank, hopefully all with one Krylon spray paint. Is this a good idea? Should I use gloss...

Being really cheap, I will wait until next week when the sale hits the on line stores, where I can get them without shipping cost (well, I guess I have to spend more money to hit the free shipping threshold, which might make this more expensive :().

Thanks Ian and Gresham, this makes my task a lot easier.

Gresham, how long have you had the painted PVC in your tank. I am setting up the overflow which is semi-transparent in my new cube, and trying to decide either buying the white PVC pipes and paint them black (don't want to see the white PVC), or go through the pain and buy black/grey PVC online...

I can bring one of each: Atlantis pink polyped monti cap Cali tort Steve Elias stag Atlantis Meteor Shower Cyphastrea Pokerstar Dolphin pet village pink/purple valida When should I bring it in? Who should I give it to?

I had a great time on the tour, great reef friends, and great food (especially the sausage)! Thanks for setting it up, and thanks fish stores for hosting us.

I switched to two 250W radium with lumenarc mini on icecap ballasts on my 120G setup about 3 months ago, and they are by far the best bulbs I had. I never used any 400W so can't compare here, but mine gives out very nice bluish white colors, and it is brighter than all my previous bulbs (Reeflux...

Thanks Tony, see you tomorrow.

Could someone let me know if I am in or out tomorrow so I can plan accordingly?

Too little meat and too much hair, not worth it. I heard new borns are delicous though, juicy, soft bones, and no hair at all :D.

Thanks everyone for your advice. Option 2 it is. Now if I can finish sanding and repainting the stand, I would be able to start working on the lighting before long.

Wow, this is one of the coolest video I have seen! It looks like the sun is in the background, is this taken in the wild?

It looks like there is some more space in the tour, and I am getting tired of sanding down the paint on the stand I recently bought. So if it is OK, I will join in tomorrow's tour as well. I can swing by Costco on the way to the tour and pick up a cake for desert. Please let me know. Thanks.

I spent quite a bit of time thinking what I should use to light my 30"x30"x18" cube, and need some experts' opinion here to help making the final decision. After debating a little between pre-made fixture and home made light box, I was inspired by Jimmy DIY light box, and decide to make my own...

Pretty coral, but shouldn't this be classified as LPS?

Thanks Jimmy and Phong for the advice. I always think the plywood at HD is really bad quality, but never know lumber yards have better quality. Learning everyday, especially on this forum. Btw, what kind of wood glue would you guys suggest to make the lighting box, and what nails?

Thanks a lot Jimmy for the info, I will be visiting Home Depot for the material during the long weekend. Thanks Mark. The tank was setup about 2.5 years ago. One mistake I made to start with was I put in too many rocks/SPS at the beginning, and could not stop adding more along the way...

Thanks Jimmy and Robert. Jimmy, your new Elos setup is super sweet too. I recently bought a used 30"x30"x18" cube with a stand, and I have been thinking about what to do with the lighting. I am inspired by your tank thread, and I will build a lighting box with MH and T5 in it like yours...

Haha, Just came back from Tibet, it was exhausting, but was worth the trip. Saw the Tibet corals, but since I spent all the money on the corals here, I did not buy any of these Tibet LE corals :bigsmile:. Plus, my guide keep on warning me that most of the corals there have serious lineage...
