I agree with mxett. I've got ball valves on both my drains (1.5"). It makes them easier to tune. Never had any trouble

I agree with hahnmeister, Marshall Island is my favorite by a long shot! I have had figi, diy, etc and I just don't think you can beat the look of MI rock, especially the really big pieces. I 30lb...

I would like to know as well. Does anyone know if Sanjay has tested these bulbs yet? I'm currently running reeflux 10k DE's on IceCap eballasts and I like the color but would always like to get...

I thought I read that the PAR from the 15K was very similar to the 20K bulb which is why it was so bad. We'd expect PAR on a 15k to be higher than a 20k but not as high as a 10k.

I too have a 30"...

If it was me I would do 2 1.5" drains. Depending on the brand/style bulkhead you go with, the hole will a around 2 5/8".

That's just for draining into the sump. If you're doing closed loop...

You'll have to be extremely careful with a 10 gallon tank, the thinner the glass the more difficult it is for sure. I've never attempted a 10 gallon, but my 150 was easy, nerve wracking but easy...

Hey Chris, you should be able to unbolt the volute or wet end and turn or spin the output so that it's horizantal rather than vertical. You could probably even shoot it straight down if your...

I was going to ask the same question.

As for the 'common' name of your Chalice, I'm not sure. The only reason I know mine is because a frag was given to me and it was a "big deal" because it was...

I'm curious if it is too high. I really don't think so for Chalice but they seem to be hit or miss. One of my LFS owners said Chalice is tough to sell because it isn't real 'flashy'. I love...

I tend to agree. Marshall Island is my favorite because of the porosity (sp?) of it. It is also light weight. I can also usually get large pieces of it. It's definitely my preference

Birch vs. oak is kind of a personal taste thing. If you like the heavy grain look of oak, I'd go with that. I chose to use birch from Lowe's. I think my Lowe's has another type of wood also but I...

Re: tank tipping concerns

I think the term you're looking for is "sheer" strength. Skinning with 1/2" or 3/4" ply will add a tremendous amount of strength to the structure. I think the structure you have in the picture...
