    What sheen varnish to finish my oak stand ?

    Thanks for the feedback! For the top and bottom I have 3/4” birch (unfortunately I need 6’ and Baltic is only 5’x5’ or I would of went Baltic birch), I plan on painting them all 6 sides in sherwin Williams exterior urethane paint. Really like this paint and is very durable. For the bottom on...

    What sheen varnish to finish my oak stand ?

    Using total boat glee varnish and built up 9 coats, looks deep and really good. I am debating on leaving it gloss or finishing one last coat with satin to cut down the shine. My dilemma is even though it looks good currently in gloss (sitting in the garage), I am afraid it will take away from...

    AVAST Spyglass Reactors

    I had one, kind of a pain to clean the media and catch the dust, even with their setup for washing media. Carbon (rox) would float out unless I used the screen, the screen would clog every 4-5 days. I found lifeguard media reactors to be the best, I pull it out, Load it and run it in a bucket...

    180 CDA build

    Going to pull the trigger on a 180 from CDA, just about finished my stand. A standard AGA is 450lbs empty, going to assume this is 600ish. The tank will be delivered curb side and it will need to be moved 50-75 inside my home on the stand (straight in the door into living room - simple) Who...

    Mounting overflow off center on 180’ tank

    Mounting overflow off center on 180’ tank

    Center is def optimal for surface skimming. Too bad I can’t do a coast-to-coast and have the plumbing exit on the left side, a compromise if you will.

    Mounting overflow off center on 180’ tank

    I feel you on the symmetry, also dual returns will be optimal as I plan on running 1200 gph with a large UV. I’ll prob do it center as there has to be a reason I will regret it and also forces me to up my plumbing game.

    Where to buy starboard/hdpe locally?

    Building my 180 and would like to line the bottom shelf/sump area with a piece of 1/4” hdpe 2’x6’. I can find it online but the shipping is sub optimal- any ideas who locally would have this? Would happily buy a 4x8’ sheet. TIA

    Mounting overflow off center on 180’ tank

    In the process of building my 180 aquarium, I know it’s standard ops to mount it dead center. It occurred to me, if I put the overflow on the left side, “6” off the end, the path for my overflow is rather simple since I plan on running my sump flush left in the stand. This also makes the...

    Where to get a custom tank?

    They do seem really nice- alum stand seems like the new standard now (waterbox infinite line now offers them). Some really good points brought up in here.

    Where to get a custom tank?

    That is pretty dope and pretty cheap, I really like the alum stand- I wish it didn't have a coast to coast though.
