Robb in Austin

Well...that would be ideal I suppose but it's even more spendy.

Of course, there is always Elos and their single corner overflow. About as spendy as AGE.

And then there is Glasscages for the cheap route. Or any number of other custom tank Mfgs.

DSA. Center overflow, much better quality. More spendy too!

Knowing Mike, he has a bike hooked up to a gerbil wheel inside a coil attached to a 6000kW battery array run in parallel to a 1.21GW capacitor and is providing power to most of the east side of RR and all of Taylor.

If I were you, I'd just buy a reef ready setup from the factory.

As Mike alluded to, I'm using a variant of the Herbie style that BeanAnimal came up with, there is a link in the thread to the RC thread.

Also, as Mike mentioned, I'd go with a factory style if I was redoing it. The BA/Herbie methods work but are way too much.

Powerhead at the foot is supposed to work too. I've read that if you cut the foot way down where it is attached it will be ok.

HEY! That's my line!

Wonder if i can talk the Mrs into the 135.

Update time again. A bit sooner than the last one at least.

I fiddled with setting up some type of support underneath the drains, and in doing so, managed to make the bulkheads leak. So it went on hiatus for a few weeks.

I got put on call today and Chris(oOzarkawater) and Mike (caferacermike) were nice enough to come over and help me. Mike had the leaky bulkheads fixed in about 3 minutes(he's a 'plumber' so this is expected but still stinks). Chris and I moved the tank back into the house, Mike and I filled it up to check for leaks, and then we sat around BS'ing for a few hours.

The tank is currently in its location, running FW to ensure no leaks and passes the power failure tests. I'll prolly leave it this way for a few days.

It is still leaking air on the open pipe. I'm not real interested in trying to fix it at this point. It's quiet, can certainly handle all the flow the 1260 is putting out, and the emergency pipe is ready to take up any slack if something happens.

I'll post some pics soon.

Dibs if Kris doesnt want it!

And by move I meant, slightly. Like less than an inch. Mine have done it.

Kris, they will adapt and/or move.

Nice write up Rey. Thanks for sharing.

You realize you've just thrown gasoline on the Vortech v Wavebox fire that was just about out, right?!

Thanks for the info.

So far, he's ignored it from what I can tell.

We also have a local, I don't want to say expert, person who has kept octos. I'm sure he'll pipe up later.

So, Mark, did you grab the tri-color or lavender/red scoly?

Too cool.

Edit:

It's not very evident looking at the video alone, but that is a blue ringed octo he is playing with! Cool, but not very smart.

I'm always good for freebie Xenia, Anthelia, and GSP.

Agreed Jeremey.

Done Mikey!

Thought the roasted variety was verboten.

Why did I know that Mike would have a very good and appropriate answer?

In absence of a marine safe epoxy, I'd recommend zip ties.

Skip the glues, I wouldn't risk it.

Might call RCA, Aquatek, Aquadome, or even Kingfish to see if any of them have epoxy.

Dont do it Maxine! It's time for some tough love ARC style!

What if you like waveboxes but have an MP40 instead?

Yeahbut....

I don't want to spend $2 and not be able to use it. And, the only nori I've seen at HEB is roasted, which is not what I need.
