i might rethink the location of the serious looking gas range right next to the tank. might cause some overheating issues down the road when it's in use.

Now I again have a local place for some sweet frags after a reset :razz:
Grow babies, grow !!!

I too have the same sediment from J&L's Calcium stuff, but I've always had it as I've never used any pure bulk products. I also had it when using DowFlake Xtra and hoped J&L's stuff would be a bit cleaner ...
I never had any sediment when using Seachem's Reef Advantage Calcium, but the cost was horrid
I'll be following along to see what you find out

Are you still using that 180 degree black ABS stuff in your overflow ?
I've always questioned it's potable water qualities ...
If you like, I could pick up a couple street 90s from Corix on my way home
2 would lock together to create a replacement with no glue needed
And it'd be a good excuse to come by to check out your new setup
LMK

Keep those pics comin' my friend, and happy growth !

No, I didn't end up using the abs elbows, but you are more than welcome to stop by anytime. you know that. :wink:

Hey Rich. Tank looks super sweet! Is there a reason you went eurobraced instead of rimless? Was it suggested because of the size of your tank or because of glass thickness? Or was it just to keep water from splashing over the edge of the tank?

Hey buddy, thanks for the kind words. The reason I went with euro is because the splash control, rimless is pretty sexy but I just wanted to have the extra security and not have to worry about water splashing on the carpet or anything. keep it clean so the wife don't give me shyte. :smile:

I agree with you 100% rich. I love the look of my rimless tank but I wouldn't buy another one as the fish constantly splash water over the edge making a wet floor and an ugly looking water marked tank. Sure does take the sexy right out of the tank.

I would do the same as you next time and get a eurobrace.

You live and you learn...

There are always pros and cons, that one piece euro brace has rounded corners and I am having a real tough time making a mesh screen for it...sigh. :ohwell:
