I'm building a little dosing container/line runner and want to use a Profilux 4 brain to run line through. Its a little hard to explain the overall design, but I'm basically just looking for a cheap brain. It doesn't have to work, of course, because I'll be gutting it for the project anyway...
So i have a 20 gallon long tank that i want to drill on 1 side to make a peninsula tank that would have a 10 gallon sump.
Now that being said i don't know how many holes i need, what size holes, and where to drill (top,middle,bottom).
I'm not sure if it is even possible to drill on the side...
Hi guys, I have this steel stand that I want to wrap and I have no clue on how to go about it. Do you guys have any recommendations and maybe pics of what you have done?
Hey gang, I had the good fortune of buying a custom built 300 gallon glass aquarium and custom built stand from my dentist a few months back. I've been telling him for a few years that I want to buy the aquarium because he didn't ever have any water in it (the previous dentist in the practice...
I have 2 lights and wondering if there's a way to mount both together, in market or diy.
Also I dont really want to drill in the roof or anything fancy, just a clamp on mount.
Thanks
Hello everyone, I finally became a member today. I have been keeping a reef tank for 2 years with the full support of my hubby.
I have been reading the posts here and some info online with regards to the set up. I now plan to build an 8ft tank Stan and order a dt and sump and just do the...
I need some ideas/advice on the best place to put a refugium in my nuvo lagoon 25’s sump section. If you have done it or know how you’re going to do it let me see/know please!!
Hello all! So I've been gone for a while but I think this is a fun come back for me. So if you know me you know I have a two year old zebra moray eel and a one year old foxface, both are getting pretty big, though eel will be fine in there for a few more years but might as well get this out of...
Just finished up helping with a custom 3D print for @KTipp and had a lot of fun doing it. If there is anyone else that needs any help with anything let me know as I am more then happy to help if I can! It did end up costing KTipp a couple bucks for the plastic but I still think it will be...
Just wanted to start a build thread, I've had a few people ask where to follow along and for me to do a build thread. I post everything on my Instagram bur not everyone has an IG. Here it goes! Any questions just ask. It'll be mostly pics.
Hey everybody...
First off, here's my current tank - upgraded from a 10 gallon a week ago. (yes, I started with picos roughly three years ago)
I worked on the stand for about 4 months or so while I was remodeling the house my girlfriend bought. I would have built it faster but I was...
JUST A LITTLE PROJECT I DID WITH TWO TANKS I HAD LYING AROUND ONE WAS A 40 BREEDER THE OTHER WAS A 29 GALLON BIOCUBE, TAKING THE FALSE WALL OUT OF THE CUBE WAS ALOT EASIER WHEN YOU DONT CARE ABOUT THE REST OF THE TANK...LOL
My Auto-Aquarium Adventures
The only thing more frustrating than unknown problems in a project is having nobody to share them with. I’ll be chronicling the adventures of my Reef-Pi troubleshooting as I dive into what could wind up being a multi-week undertaking. If you're already familiar...
So I have this nice 150 gallon tank but the glass has a big chip in the corner. I was able to get a new piece of glass the exact size and I am planning to switch the panels out (the big side panel). ive never changed aquarium glass before let alone a massive one like this. Is there anything I...
Well I figured I would start up a thread so I could track my new build! (Kinda figured this would be more for myself!)
Well to start, I have built a 40 Gallon Nano Tank and loved every moment of it. I did Battle with a few things being a small tank but the joys you get from a nice tank out...
As title indicates, building a new system (two nano 30gal tanks plumbed into one sump, but that's a topic for another day) and planning to incorporate a Clarisea SK-3000 automat filtration. Basically, as I understand it from the instructions and videos, water enters the filter and exits through...
Prelude: This build actually has it's origins back in July of 2018 with a decision to try out a saltwater aquarium. I have had a fair number of years keeping fresh water tanks, but really nothing too involved even there. After a lot of research, with help from members at Reef2Reef, the first...
I’ve been slowly amassing the materials to start up a new 40-gallon reef tank. It’s been 6+ months in the making, and I’m now just getting around to posting photos.
Needless to say, I’ve been taking my sweet time. My last tank was an Aqueon 150 - not the greatest tank for a third-floor...
Hi @Randy Holmes-Farley
can you please advice if there is anything concerning on my DIY Aiptasia killing solution?
I have been using this recipe for around 4 years, without a problem, on my SPS dominated reef tanks and my experience is positive. However, I was wondering if it could be...
I have the Theiling Compact Rollermat on a new system I am setting up, and generally love it. However, the tank is going through it's ugly phase and I'm regularly cleaning glass/etc. which is using up the fleece at an incredible rate (about one roll a week)! At BRS it is $50 for 3 rolls, so that...
Hey all, Iv bin researching the AI hydra (non-HD) LEDs. I don't have a controller for them, but I do have an apex. Can anyone help me figure out how I can control these lights?
When I plug them in all the LEDs come on full power.
I'm currently on my 3rd week of dosing vodka to reduce nitrates in my tank, when I remember that I stumbled upon a couple of DIY NOPOX recipes that mix vodka, vinegar, and rodi water (sometimes). What are the benefits, if any, to dosing the DIY NOPOX vs the vodka I'm currently using?
I am considering making a few Frag racks to stick to the side of my tank(s). I read neodymiam were usable but shouldn't you coat them with something? If so, What?
I want magnets to hold for at least 1/2 inch glass.. what size neo's are suggested?
I’m all finished with my build and started cycling my tank. While the cycle is going I need to get my facade going. Can anyone help with some ideas on what they did. Also the tank is very quiet the only thing I hear is the skimmer and return pump, would the facade damp the noise down or would I...
I don't want to send the dryside to Echotech and pay 60$ for an extension. But the only place I can find these wires, sell them in bulks of hundreds of feet. Pricey to say the least.
I posted in the 'Looking to buy' forum (hoping someone has a busted dryside that i can steal the cable from)...
