A build thread wouldnt be the same without a cloudy tank picture. Its with a 4 foot light fixture in the picture which was shading the ends. [IMG]
I've got it sloping about an inch over a 20 inch run of pipe. It is actually working fairly well but I had to dial in the valves for the fuge and...
Move day was very long and even with my 6 year old daughters help it took all day and I forgot to take pictures. I didnt reuse the sand from the 55...
I did do a fresh water test on the tank after I had finished modifying the stand. I kept the water in for a couple of days just to make sure I didnt...
After measuring I decided that the new stand was too short to fit the 55 gallon into. It would have only left about 2 inches for my hand and while...
Well I'd been running a 55 gallon tank for almost a year when i walked into the pet store for water and I saw a used 125 for sale. It was a great...

I'm in the same boat at CoralCrazy with a 6 foot tank and a 5 foot light. i actually like it like this though I could use more bulbs. 6 x 54 on a 5...
bubble algae isnt that hard to manually remove. I just use a half inch clear tube, start a syphon and use the edge of the tube to pop off the bubble...
It sounds like you are almost done with the GHA. I'd say it is a small amount and that you could get corals any time. Keep in mind that coral doesnt...
As for the pump, I had a quietone on my 55 but I used a 3000. You can dial the flow down with a valve but cant make it stronger without replacing the...
