  1. Not finished, but this is what it looks like right now. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  2. This is what I did for my tank build: http://melevsreef.com/tanks/light-rack
  3. awesome build. Great detail!
  4. I have used both in the past. On my new tank build (~270 gallons) that is still in progress, my plan as of right now is to use 1 or two gyres, 2 mp40s. I was thinking testing out the neptune WAV's and see how i like them. If sound is an issue, can you just turn the pumps down whenever you are around and then ramp them up at night? I also like seaswirls. They are very silent and you can push a lot of water through them.
  5. I thought RC had a deal with them to continue to allow pictures to be displayed?

    From the album: tank

  8. Just some updates
  9. Not all tanks have ich. There are a lot of myths and claims out there that resurface constantly: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/ich-cryptocaryon-irritans.191226/ http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forum/index.php?threads/marine-ich-myths-and-facts.23132/
  10. Very depressing article. If you watch the video, it mentions coral restoration foundation (which WAMAS donated too last year). https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/business/environment/florida-reef/?utm_term=.a52bcd3d5cb2
  11. it sure does. Just ordered 6 boxes.
  12. i have a couple (including the luft pump) you could try to see if you like them.
  13. Many ways to do it with Samsung Smartthings. one main hub then there are several ways to do it. Do a search on their community board.
  14. DaveS does SCUBA classes. He arranged a Dive trip to Honduras a few years ago. Hilary is also a Dive instructor. Some good places to dive would be Grand Cayman, Belize, Cozumel, Turks & Caicos.
  15. Hey Sean, Good to hear you are still alive
  16. I would also reach out to Kyle. Just found these articles: http://seahorse.com/forum/how-do-you-treat-bubble-disease-sea-horse http://aquadaily.com/2009/01/16/curing-seahorses-of-gas-problems/
  17. wow, it has been a while since I have updated this. I have completed all the electrical, platform, and stand and got a permit for modifying the wall. I ran into a small issue when I cut open the wall and found that the HVAC condenser lines run through the same area as where my tank is going to sit.
  18. Thanks for the gift certificates! I will definitely be using them for my tank build.
  19. I have been meaning to update this thread. A decent amount of progress has been made so far. Still farther behind then I would like. Part of it has to do with the permitting process where I live. I need to post some pictures to coincide with the progress, but so far I have been able to: Build the platform for the tank and stand to sit on. The height difference between my garage floor and the first floor is about 40 inches. I painted the wood with a pool epoxy that resists saltwater and chemicals. Hung PVC wall board to protect the drywall from getting wet. It makes the wall almost waterproof. I still want to silicone the seems. Thanks to Coral Hind!!!! I figured out how to do the electrical for the tank. Here is how it I am doing it:I had an outlet for an electric car in my garage(50Amp). I removed the outlet and ran external conduit with 6# wire for a 100 Amp sub panel. Running several electrical runs to outlets closer to tank (this is still in work).
  20. there are a lot of people that make parts for their tanks from 3d printer (frag plugs come to mind), do a search on one of the bigger boards and I am sure you will find something. Thing-universe and instructibles have some stuff.
  21. always awesome shots!
  22. Stay off the board and get better soon! You need lots or rest. Go binge watch a favorite tv series
