  1. That's a tough one. My concern would be water somehow following the cord down to where the two plug ends meet. My first thought would be to velcro, or in some other way fasten, the receiving end of an electric cord to the wall so that the female end is facing down. I would have the male cord coming out of the skimmer plugged into it providing a loop for any water that gets on there to drip off.

  2. If you're dealing with a slip bulkhead, make sure you have a good end on the pvc that you cut for the overflow. Any imperfections could allow water to pass through the outside of the PVC pipe and the inside wall of the bulkhead. The leak would be slow but dangerous ;)

    What material is the overflow? could you take a picture?

  3. UPDATE: I am including my old RO unit, replacement filters, more heaters, clampers (Don't know the real name), and fish food! :) (Probably worth around $200 in saving for you)

    Even if you don't use the fish tanks for a while, the tanks are packed with goodies!! C'mon, this is an insult to Austin's economy!

  4. I will trade this setup for some of the items below :)

    -A good working laptop valued at around $300 or above (if you have one that values for less, you can include cash)

    -Any items that I could use on a sailboat like fish finder, GPS Epirb, live vests (I will include cash if necessary)

    -Solar Panels and/or Wind Generator that would work for a sailboat (I will include cash if necessary)

    -Small flat panel TV that is around 28" or less.

    -VHF Radio

    -12 volt compressor unit to turn an ice box into a refrigerator (Kinda far fetched i know)

    Thank you for looking!!

  5. This is a great tank that I have had for about a year and a half. It is Starphire on three sides (the sides and the front. It is also drilled for two returns and an overflow. There is a chip that I have taken a picture of. It doesn't have any apparent effect on the structural integrity of the tank, and does not cause any leaks. The piece chipped off and I was able to glue it ba

    The dimensions are 26"Long 24" Deep 22" Tall

    Here is what I paid for everything:

    Starphire Tank: $620

    Overflow: $79

    Plumbing: $30

    Returns: $17

    -----------------------------

    $750

    Here is what is included in the sale for $225:

    -Three Sided Starphire Tank (I paid around 600 for it shipped to Florida)

    - Glass-Holes.com Overflow (which is a $80 value)

  6. This is a great cheap setup that will make anyone looking to grow out corals very happy. It could even be a good money maker on the side!!

    For anyone who would have trouble getting this to their home/buseness ect. I can offer my truck and my help at the cost of Gas!

    !!PRICED REDUCED!! (May 09 '11) $295!!!!! is for everything listed below:

    -Tanks and stand What I paid for them $450 (new the tanks alone would probably cost someone ~$700)

    -Bulk Reef Supply Two part ~$40

    -Missing one or two of the jugs

    -65% of the chemicals remaining

    -Sand paid ~$90 and used 1/4 of it $67.50

    -Filter socks $12

    -250 gallons worth of unused Coralife salt $76.45

    -Julian Sprung's Sea Veggies both purple and green ~$7.50

    -various plumbing that would be worth $100 new

    -Brute can for mixing saltwater w/ rodi float valve ~$45

    -3 large Heaters for winter time ~$80

    -Mag Float ~$30

    -----------------------------------------

    All of this stuff tallies up to around $900...

    As you can see, I am taking a complete loss on this. I would love to keep it, but I am going to live aboard a sailboat in the Florida Keys and will not have any kind of space for something like this... I'm not in a real hurry to sell it however seeing as I have a month till I move.

  7. Yes, you need to buy one! $140 each for the 85 gallon tanks. Someone just claimed the 40 gallon tank.

    I paid $170 for each tank less than 4 months ago and I didn't even get the chance to use them!! :nopity: I also spent about $60 on building the stand which you can take if you buy both tanks :)

    C'mon, someone's gatta want the ultimate frag setup!! If it doesn't sell soon I'm going to ask the local fish stores how much they'll give me.

    I'm DEFINITELY interested in one of the tanks.... just gotta convince my wife! How much?
