k thanks Greg

Yes it works in the tank... Use small pieces of rubble... creates large voids while still having pores... 'safe zone' for pods provided the holes are small enough the fish cannot get into the pile and the pile is big enough to have lots of breeding room.

But still take time to happen :biggrin:

Yes it works. Why not get the top back of your new tank drilled, get yourself another lets say 15G tank, put it lower than your display.Get a little internal pump and start a little sump and build a refugium in there. Just let your drilled display just gravity drain in to your sump. Get rid of those cannisters and make the leap to a sump system. It would be some good experience and prepare you for when you do an upgrade to a bigger tank. Instructions too complicated?

I'd love to do that but my wife wont go for buying return pumps and baffles and junk.. I'm lucky to get what I am getting for the tank this time of year :lol:
plus I dont have the first clue what I need and where to get it. I do have a spare 20 gallon, that is scratched to all hell. but again, what I need or where to get it I dont have a clue lol

I could do it for ya if you wanted to go that way but not until after Xmas.

I mean if you guys could run through it with me I might be able to swing a small sump.

Hey maybe Greg so if that's the case I should hold off moving my tank until I do that if the wife let's me that is :lol:

Could be done for probably $60 total with all supplies, drilled and the glass shop would probably have a chunk of glass or acrlic for a baffle kicking around. Really simple to do this.

I could send you some pics via PM if that would help.

Sure thanks. Geez you guys.. putting ideas in my head :lol:

Madreefer is right, it would be very inexpensive to do a small sump & would really help stabilize your system. You would not need a large pump & I have 1" bulkheads, hose and possibably a pump as well.

Your welcome :lol:

I have no more frags on the sandbed. I can lay back and sorta relax now!

Well it's about time :lol: tank looked bangin sexy sweet dude the other day when I dropped in, pics definitely do not do it justice at all.

I think my post count ticker is stuck on 4,399 opps never mind brain fart

Stupid question... what are bulk heads? :lol:

Not stupid at all, when you drill a hole in a tank you need a bulk head to seal it off again. This is where you add PVC pipe & fitting to direct your water flow to & from your sump.

its when you buy alot of heads at one time ;)

hahah a bulk head is a threaded fitting that has a rubber seal it what goes in the holes that are drilled in a tank, the two fittings that make up a bulkhead screw together with glass inbetween them making the seal tight and then both ends can have pipe installed into them.

:pound: best one I have seen for that question

HAHA! So thats what bulkheads are... :lol: jk. cool well maybe I will hold of on the tank move for a few, and get this all together (if the mrs lets me..) I just got home from work and her car is in my spot.. so I go to move it.. it doesn't start.. ughh Pop the hood poke around try to start it again.. starter is gone! AGH! tomorrow is another work day! yay...

Damn sounds like my luck has rubbed off on you, sorry.

nahh.. I think its just how life goes during the holidays. Last year it was my truck when we were going to visit the extended family in Calgary, head gasket cracked. So I parted it out and bought my jeep. Starter is an easy fix. just more money that I have to take out of my"hobby funds"lol

I had the same thing with my wife's car. Needs new lifters, stupid VW, I swear it knows that JL's boxing day sale is coming up :P

yeah its the same thing as a thread I read the other day some one wanted to go on vacation and their equipment failed on their tank or something. its like things know that its christmas haha

I wonder how many actual rep points Brett has I see 2 green boxes under his name.

i know eh how much reps a person gotta build to get ahead around here lol:):)

I think that's due to some staff member feeling sorry for him....

Feeling sorry for him for what? I seen him just the othere day, he looks fine, his wife looks great, kids are happy & seem healthy & the tank looks so frickin nice it makes we wish I had an empty basement.

The guy got it all goin on.... So quit feelin sorry for him :razz:

Finally puppies are on the way. One boy so far.

Christmas came early! :mrgreen:

More then i thought you would have.
What breed are those?

WOW.
Thanks for those pictures. I'll share them with my boys...
So tiny. So many from such a small (comparatively) belly.
They are wonderful. Thank you so much for taking the time to share.
Merry Christmas!
