    Thanks :)

    I'll hit them up after GC, I have a feeling Reef Savvy might be a little too much $, but it never hurts to ask.

    Thanks Buddy!

    Well looks like Glass Cages is WAY out of the question, I'll build my tank before spending 201 on just the tank.

    email reply from GC:
    Easiest would be a rimless glass tank which would cost $ 165.00

    No baffles are included in this price. Baffles cost $ 20.00 each.

    Pick up our truck along I-80 this Sat is $ 36.00.

    Total $ 201.00

    16 x 17.5 x 10.5

    Not too big, just enough to fit inside my stand

    I'm sure you could have a local glass shop cut it for you for A LOT cheaper ;)

    Not a bad ideal, I'll look into it

    Thanks for the idea.

    No problem ;) I'm trying to do the same thing with local glass shops, but they all want to charge me ~$300 for a shallow 17 gallon tank :angry:

    Lately my Ph has been really poor (7.75 - 8.04) so I did a water change today and inspected my probe. There were sponges living inside and all over the glass portion causing bad readings. My Ph shot up from 8.04 to 8.25 after removing these little buggers.
