Just a quick update. The cycle is on. Only testing the big 4 right now but params are: Ammonia: 1ppm Nitrite: .25ppm Nitrate: 5ppm pH: 7.8...
Looking good, like the sump setup
bump...please lol
I just put up a 30g long so you have similar dimensions to mine, yours is just a little wider. I used 2x4 for it and didn't have any center legs in...
Whatever plan you decide on, make sure the cuts are square. I used lowes to cut mine and ended up having to cut them all again to make sure they were...
As far as hanging, most that I have seen hang from the ceiling using the wire kits connected to the heat sink. Not sure if you want to go that route....
If you are on ebay, there is a seller called hobby lighting. I just got a 36" t5 4 bulb from them for $100. It has a built in timer that controls...
Question: Should I be running the skimmer right now? I just filled the tank yesterday. I've read where some say go ahead so you can break it in, and...
414-242 has a good idea with the open front access. I think you should be able to do that anyway if you use the 2x8, especially with a 75g.
Well I'm up and running! It was a very productive day for me. I got the rock, rinsed it and let it dry. Moved the stand into its new home and then...
Thank you both. Fed Ex just came by. Marco Rocks here. Ended up getting 55lbs. I unpacked it and am so glad I used Marco. Great quality rock, very...

IMO 2x8 should be more than sufficient. Our new 2 story shop was framed out with 2x6. From a structure standpoint, I would say you would be more than...
You can find alot of posts on the DIY stands in the "I made this!" area. Thats where I went to get ideas for mine.
So I kind of started this thread in the wrong area after I joined 3reef, as such that thread has died. I am restarting it here in hopes that it will...
Welcome to 3reef! You have found a great resource.
Resealing isn't too hard. I think it would actually be easier in a tank that size. I just did my 30 long, and while it wasn't difficult, some more...
Completely agree, just trying to keep it PG lol. He is probably the thing I dislike most about that show.
Watched the interview with Mr. Saltwater Tank yesterday. Brett seemed somewhat cocky/borderline confrontational, but he had some ok points. Hopefully...
As long as you have room for it to fit where you are going to place the sump and to be able to remove the collection cup to empty it, i don't see a...
