  Hi guys. Just wanted to get some opinions. Would it be a good idea to use a db board to replace multiplugs? They drive me crazy! I know nothing about this kind of stuff, il just get an electrician to sort it out.

  Hi guyz. Just wanted to know if anyone had any success keeping a true lemonpeel angel for a long period. Most websites say they dont do well in captivity and only live for a few months. Please tell me this is not always true. And if there are any tips and tricks one could follow to improve one's chances of success.

  Hi guyz. I have 6mm glass to make a tank 900 x 500 x 280 and wood for a stand the same size. 4 pieces of 18mm shutterply pine. 1 piece under the base glass, 2 pieces for the sides and 1 big piece for the front. The wood stands about 825mm from the ground. I was busy taking the tank apart because i wanted to polish the glass. So the glass is full of silicone. Im busy moving house so i need it gone ASAP. R300 for everything (no stand)

  Tank design, please help

  Posted: February 12th, 2012, 9:30pm CST by Fishman

  Hi guyz. I've been a member for a while, had 3 marine tanks, i know over a dozen fish by their scientific names but i still regard myself as a beginner. None of my tanks were a success but i learnt a whole lot each time. Thanks to masa and the sponsors for teaching most of what i know.
  
  Anyway im planning a new tank but this time i wanna do everything right. So i need some help regarding tank design. Dimensions 900 x 500 x 300. Was thinking of a corner overflow with durso. Return, not sure. Bare bottom because i hate detritus and i want a clean tank. I'll have a sun sun vibration pump or seio prop for flow in the tank. I need options for the return. I'd like to keep 5 small fish and maybe a carpet of gsp or blue cloves. I'd like my outlet and return to be drilled on the bottom so i can put the tank as close to the wall as possible. I have a ts1 skimmer and i was hoping to get away with just a phos reactor. I want a smallish sump because i want space for wires etc. Will it work? Am i missing something? I don't mind if it takes me a year to complete. And like most i have a tight budget :)

  Overflow idea - Will it work?

  Posted: October 31st, 2011, 10:50pm CDT by Fishman

  Hi guyz. I need some advice, i need to do my overflow on a tank i built. Its not a big tank so im thinking of using 25mm pvc. I want to drill the bottom, but i DONT want to build a box of any kind, not even a skinny one. So i was thinking of using a 110mm pvc pipe to act as a overflow box. With a modified durso in it. When i say modified i mean i'll have no 90' elbow coming out from the t piece. So water will enter the standpipe horizontally. Will it be silent? I will install a valve on the outlet to control the water level in the 110mm pvc pipe...

  Posted: October 1st, 2011, 12:26pm CDT by Fishman
