The Tank looks Great!!!! Let me know when you are Fragging;)

Hey I am about to build my Canopy and thought(scratch) How High do I want it....Its going on my 75G I want to have 2 250w 20,000K MH's and 2 VHO 36" Actinic. With a 2 inch Sand Bed I will have 17 1/2 inches from Sand to top of tank.. I was thinkin about building it so I have the MH's about 9 inches above the water line... Is this to close? How close can I get to the water? I know Heat is a factor...... Thanks Guys I know you all will have some great ideas for me to chew on! (rock2)

He doesnt... So I'll give this till the end of the day and see if someone closer has one, If not I sure would appreciate it if I could borrow it....

Does anyone have a 1 3/4 Diamond hole saw I can borrow? It will help me speed up my 80G Build. Thanks(naughty)

Hey I have a 79G to fill. How Much? I was told 120 Lbs is what I would need... What do you think.. Can you quote me a price?

Thanks LOWMAN, I am dosing slowly with Baking Soda and keeping an EYE on my PH.. And thanks everyone for the help... Im so glad you guys are here!! Chargers 43 KC Chiefs 14 Woo Hoo....

Thanks BYRD.... Im going to dose for 10 for now then again in a couple days... I just dosed to bring Mag up is it ok to dose for Alk now too?

I'm hoping for some advise.... I checked my levels just now and they ar as follows Nitrate--5.0 Nitrite--0 PH-----8.2 Ammonia-0 Phosphate-0 Mag----1020 Alk-----8 Calc----520 My Cal is alittle High, Not my concerne. But my Mag is Low and I just Dosed and brought it to 1200 three weeks ago. Is this normal? IS it normal that I would need to Dose this often? Any Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

I have two rio's that are going to go in the Sump. Both are rated at around 800 or 900 GPH. I figured it out once, but dont remember exactlly what they came out to be.... Im going to drill the tank now. But am not sure if I want to use a intake box with a bulkhead inside to the sump. Or just go with direct bulkhead to sump....(scratch) I have to figure out what I am going to do. Im getting close to the point where I have to make a choice... I also want to build a custom sump, and a closed loop.... I have a lot to figure out(nutty)

Update... So I finished the stand today. Now I can start on the Hood.. Not sure just how I want it, But I am thinking about just having the top lid the lifts up with two dors in the front... We'll see...(clap)

Good to know , thanks.... Im bummed, everytime I add LR from somewhere I get a Algea breakout...just for about a 2 week period then it seems to die off....Anyone know why. I have a bunch of LR I perchased from Scott. But afraid to put it in.. Its been recirculating in a plastic container with Purple up and 1.025 water. Why am I getting these outbreaks? does anyone else get these? Thanks for the help...

(scratch)I was wondering!!! I have purchased a couple Caps that where cheap because they where browning. After putting them in my Tank the Brown has gone away and the full color has come back making them great investments. My Question for you all is, What caused the Browning. Is it the Zoenthalia Algae turning brown? Is there other methods other than getting them into the correct lighting....(nutty) Happy Turkey Day...

(help)I have no idea what you guys are talking about.....

Actually it was Lowes I seen it at. I'll look TAP Plastics Up.... Thanks..
