  1. This one too http://www.plastic-mart.com/class.php?item=910 25"L x 18"W x 19"H
  2. AlexKillPatrick - I found this water storage tank that is pretty close to the dimensions you want. Looks like it might be a good solution. http://www.plastic-mart.com/class.php?item=3527 Medi - that largely depends how you want it built.

    Water Temp

    I have ran tanks as high as 86 F. It mainly depends on the livestock you are going to have and what reef it is from. The general consensus is of course 79 avg. is ok for most corals.
  4. consider yourself lucky, those = great.
  5. First customer served! Here is a video of his trap. http://zamisao.com/TITLE01.avi
  6. that is a nice tank, and a very fair price for everything.
  7. wow that sump is great. Did you build it yourself?
  8. the shrimp will die fast if you put him in R0.
  9. ah people trumped this dibs rule. I see the way it is guys!!! let me know.
  10. Yeah I just priced out the material, this is going to be WAY way too expensive in just material cost. E.G. unless you want to spend 100's...Unfortunately, acrylic, its not a viable option for this application.
  11. ok you got a deal, the blue spots only come out under the right lighting. How do you want to meet?
  12. awesome, my gf has been wanting me to get one of these for a while. take a look at my site and let me know if you like anything.
  13. I will trade you anything I have in my tank if he eats frozen foods.
  14. is this going to be on display or in your cabinet? A 24"x24"x24" would be $35-50 for the acrylic alone (3/8th"). Can you explain the project a little more?
  15. if he is living in a rock your best bet is to lift the rock out and wash him out.
  16. ahh eating your SPS eh. Send me a pic of your tank with him in the shot. Trap would be $51. If it does not work, you can have your money back minus the material cost. What other fish are in the tank with him?
  17. I like to put a food that sinks behind the little ledge there in the back of the trap. I have found salmon roe to work really well. Fish swims in and you pull the string, door shuts. I have caught wrasses, angel fish, damsels, tangs, shrimp lots of stuff with this trap.
  18. arg sorry I was getting server errors while trying to post, admin plz delete the other two.
  19. You tell me what type of fish you want to trap and I can build you a custom sized trap for it. $40 + material cost (usually 11 dollars) per trap. I make two types of traps that I found work well. One with a hinged door and the other with a pull down door. They are both fishing line driven manual traps but work much better than the store bought traps I have tried. I can also do small tanks or other acrylic projects that you desire like manderin motels etc. Here are some examples Fish trap freshly used. Small pico tank with 1/2" "view" plug top. Nick
  20. eh, just ball park it, I am not picky. I live on enfield and mopac. I pmed you my phone number and address if you want to meet at my house. Or the destination of your choosing.
  21. how about a baseball size worth?
  22. Dustin, you can use live rock no problem, http://www.drsfostersmith.com/pic/article.cfm?aid=668 its what is known as a FOWLR tank. You can use limestone for the majority of your rock, but get a few pieces of real porous live rock to seed your bacteria and bio diversity. Then your limestone rock will become "semi-live" rock over time. I say this because the limestone rock will only really have good bacteria on the surface as it is so dense. You can make the lime stone rock better by drilling holes in it. Put lots of little holes in the back of it with a masinary bit. Remember, don't add your fish all at once.
  23. hmm I could go for some of this in my sea horse tank. Want to trade for some dragons breath macro? http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa157/matsis1234/RedMacroAlgae.jpg nick
  24. As long as you stick to pure limestone you should be ok. I would let it sit in a tub of tap water and let it leech for a few weeks frequently changing the water before using it.
