Where can you get pulverized limestone around here? I went to Lowes (620/183) and HD (lakeline). Neither had it.

Thanks, Andrew. I plan to attend. Looking forward to seeing your tank with occupants.

Karen, If the rocks still available I'd be interested in splitting with you. Just let me know. I'm in NW Austin. Thanks, Steve 512-461-3120

Just a few I had saved... http://www.regal-plastics.com/austin.html Regal Plastics for acrylic and Weld-On http://www.hardwarestoreinc.com/ This is a local mom and pop hardware store (to which I have no affiliation) but if it's beyond the realm of Lowes or HDepot you'll find it here in regards to plumbing supplies (all size hose, spaflex by the foot), nylon bolts, fittings, etc., etc. It's a DIY'ers heaven. lol http://coralreefbazaar.com/store.php Another good local source for the "harder-to-find" items. I'm sure you've found the local stores but I'll list two. http://www.rivercityaquatics.com/ Great people. Carlos and his staff are always there for you (buying or not). (Where I come from it's called "doin da right ting") lol http://www.kingfishaquarium.com/index.htm An "up-and-commer"

Our prayers go out to your families.

If you notice I left a hint of the "Magical Mystery Tour" in the corner scrolls. If you stare at them long enough... "Step right this way"

http://melevsreef.com/closedloop(old).html Karen, Check this out. A lot of good info on his site plus this link is for a closed loop on an undrilled tank. I just setup a 110g and drilled it myself. You can see in the pic the overflow going to the sump which is a hang-on, not drilled. Other pics in my blog. Let me know if you have any questions.

Basic black it is

Actually, was supposed to be burgundy, not coraline. lol

Thanks for the kind words. Took a few pics of the stand tonight (finally done) I cut out the middle dooer section and built this screen for the front. There are dowels in the bottom of the screens frame so you just line em up with the holes in the stand, drop it in and the top catches with magnets. Simple, but gives my bulky hands free access to the sump/fuge as well as a little more ventilation.

I uploaded pictures but no text. genius. This is my new 110g Specs are: Circulation- Closed loop powered by sequence Dart return - 2- 3/4" lines running into two SQWD's with four lines out Filtration- 55g Sump/Fuge Terminator II Skimmer Mag 5 return pump Lighting- 2x250W SE MH w/10k XM bulbs 4x96W PC's for actinics (I know, but the PC's were "free" so don't go into the "T5, VHO" debate please) Canopy and stand- Made to order Pics to follow Thanks for looking and any input is appreciated (except for the PC's) lol Hope to see you'se guys Sunday at River City
