The company that I have a contract with uses the same totes with acid in them. A couple years back they took the cage off and within a couple of days the tote busted open and it was only about 3/4 full. The cage is there to strength. If I was you I wouldn't take the risk. Eric

Anybody know if these skimmers are any good? Eric

My sump was a 90 gallon tank I bought from Glasscages, I just got plexy glass from Lowes and cut it to what I needed. I was very easy. Once you figure out how high you want the water level, you just cut 3 pieces that height. (3 for bubble trap ) I used acouple of extra 1" X 1" pieces to make little blocks for the center wall in bubble trap to make it about 1 to 1 1/2" off the bottom. So the water follows over the first, under the second and over the third. Than a cut a piece about 4 inches taller than the others and cut teeth all across the top for the water to flow through, just like you overflows for the wall to the return section. Its real easy and also it your sump so using a little extra silcone or making a little mess is no big deal.

I had a 240 setup for years, you only need one sump, have your overflows empty into one end of the sump (put your skimmer in there), than have a bubble trap. In the middle have this compartment as big as possible, have your refug, I had mangrooves, cheato, and a couple small pieces of live rock. Than have it drain into a return area over a buffle with teeth like your over flows. This is where you have your return pumps, If you have 2 overflows, than most likely you need 2 return pumps, like mag 12's or even 18's. Just make sure you use shut off valves right below your overflows and also right after your return pumps for easy adjustments.

How many people signed up so far? What are the prizes? Eric

Sean, How big is your tank? Do you have any pics?

WOW, thats getting ugly fast. But I'd like to come see the tank, because I've already contacted him about a future tank.

For a 90 gallon you only need 1 MP40, I think its good for 3000 gallons per hour, or even better it you can afford it, get 2 and put one on each side and have them sinked. Eric

Its becomes wide very fast and on full power it will move some water. If you can afford one, in my opinion, they are the best pumps out that. Eric

I understand your situation, but small claims court is not even worth you time for $25, a day in court (if they show up) or it will be rescheduled, than if you win, it comes a warrant in debt which to get that you have to goto court again to garnish wages, if you can get the proper info, than if they don't show up, it will get rescheduled again. So in the long run it could take up to a year or more and at least 4 or more court dates for $25. I know from experience, I won a warrant in debt in 1997 for $1200.00 and he didn't pay, so I did the garnishment and after the court date, he just switched jobs and nothing. To date still nothing, he has bought a house, cars and with no problem. As for your problem, you would be going after a business which is even worst. All that will happen it a judgement will go against the company but they still don't have to pay. So in my opinion, just cut your loses, because it will cost you your time on top of your money in the long run. Eric

Thanks John, I'm getting out and you go and do this, Thanks Eric Good luck, I'll have to stop by to check it out someday.

WWW.GLASSCAGES.COM, they have a deliver every month or two to the Home Depot parking lot in Manassas. I have 2 of their tanks and they reasonably priced. Eric
