It says "Warning! You will soon be broke. Enjoy Reefkeeping...oh and buy Honda"

Tempered Glass usually has a warning sticker indicating it as such

its says "enjoy your new money pit"

duwlski · #5 06/04/2006, 09:44 PM

Honestly Duwlski, you should consider getting a sump, even if its like a 10 gallon aquarium for 10 dollars. It'll be one of the best decisions for setting up your tank. You save more money if you do everything right the first time.

yeah, I was thinking of using sump.. probably when I finally could upgrade the tank.. right now I'm just hoping I could get away without it....

probably end up upgrading to the larger tank and use the current one as a sump.. :P

Hey do you have a pic of the whole tank? Interested in how your import tank looks. Does it have an open top and curved corners?

haha, that's usually what happens. I've changed tanks once a year so far and hopefully this 120 will be the last one for a while...

how many years/tanks you've been gone through? lol..
if you keep this up, 10 years from now you might end up converting your swimming pool to coral pool

tptp279 · #19 06/05/2006, 02:27 AM

if you bring it to a glass store they can tell you if it's tempered or not.

Louie3 · #20 06/05/2006, 02:49 AM

wow its curved cool maybe if i just new what a skull and a bone cross ment on this coke can.

NicoleC · #21 06/05/2006, 07:55 AM

Yes, you can get away without a sump. I would add a HOB skimmer for aeration, though. Without a sump or a skimmer, your O2 levels are probably going to be very low, possibly fatal to many fishies.
