You can contact inovative marine directly and they should be able to hook you up

Thanks for the kind words I am really glad it's going to a good home and it was our first real endeavor and served us well hope you enjoy and send us updates as you start to get things together and start setting it up

Try Reston Glass don't know what they charge will but do not assume liability of breakage how big is tank if you can bring it in cheaper than if they have to come to you and drill they are in the same shopping center where Marine Scene is right on sunset hills

Rinse some old mix with new add rock cycle and test I added a edit on my last post Remember half old water and half new and check salinity

Yes it would start a new cycle but if you take a couple cups of old sand and rinse it and add to new sand with it let it cycle put your rock in and keep checking water to see when to add live stock might take less time as if all new sand When we converted our 125 to the 220 we took half the water,rock,new sand did not bring any of the old sand and let it cycle and kept testing to see when we should add things and slowly added things to the new tank and kept testing hope this helps don't Rush because it could be worse effects

I wouldn't use the sand there are to many things that would do more harm than good. You might think it saves a few dollars but it could end up costing you more in the long run. That is my opinion and not a expert

Cool what size tank do you have really looks really sharp

Welcome

Not really sure in regards to your suggestion. Richard with ERC did our plumbing. We're suppose to see him tomorrow so maybe he can explain it to me more. I did put the felt bags back on all of the drains that helped a lot.

Confused

Maybe some of you can help me with a issue we are having with micro bubble coming into the tank via the returns we are running a external pump running everything the protein skimmer is external any advice on how to get rid of these running sockets on both returns going into the sump and a sock on the return from the protein skimmer have rock and rubble rock in the sump and foam in one of the baffles any suggestions Thanks

We are proud boxer owners breeders no other dog like them. Talking about spoiled rotten that's our gang part of the family.

Marco, told me to sell all live stock, and coral and start fresh, I wished we took his advice every time I see an Aussie elegance my heart sorta sinks, it had over 32 mouths on it and was larger then a cantaloupe., looking back onto the chain of events my suggestion would be have someone you trust host your prize pieces, frag out to some friends so if you loose one of your corals you can get another start, sell you delicate fish. Unless your planning on moving a tank into your new house 2 months prior to your move, cycle it with water changes from your old tank 1/2 old & 1/2 new give your skimmer time to break in. The fish you keep put them into QT, for at least 7 days prior to putting them in the big display tank. This way will hopefully keep you from having fish get so stress that you get a ick outbreak, with a larger tank your lighting will be different, even the natural light that the room gets will be different. So really do a lot, of planning, coordinate with those who do it for professional, and those who have done large volume tank moves. I know Fred made a comment regarding the depth of the tank and being able to reach it but I thought I would add a few things for our tank move. Make a list and check it twice, say a prayer and be ready for the unexpected. With that I'll say goodnight! It's way past my bedtime

My wife says go deeper and less height unlessl you are tall and have long arms as aquascaping is very difficult even on a ladder especially trying to get your corals attached on rocks

Ours is set up pretty much the same we have two float valves in the RO/DI they are on the side towards the top with about three inches between them. They sure do make life a lot easier. Sending you a couple pics call me and we can explain the set up
