Home Depot has some 36" bulbs and fixtures, i purched mine there a while ago, i think it cost around 30 but i cant remeber

Ok so building an external overflow, I would have to notch the back of that and attach the overflow to the outsde back glass correct? what advantage does this give over building a overflow inside the tank. the issue i have is i wan this to be very clean looking with no real hardware visible kinda like this but on a bigger scale man so many options to think about lol

yea Rich, i thought about that later lol I also thought this would be an easy endenvor but as it happens, i have a little understanding to do first, b4 i attempt this I just wanna try not to make the newbie mistakes that always happens when you rush into things

Okay maybe i just have to see one, to understand the concept! I have never done SW or a sump, i do lots of reading on it but itstill hasn't sunk totally in Does anyone here in edmonton have a SW with a overflow and sump that wouldn't mind a visit? I'll bring beer.............................. :beer: thx Mark

sry for creating a mess here, lol i was just voicing a thought just shoot me a email, or give me a buzz and tell me what you need jay I am more then happy to help

Okay that is just WRONG WRONG WRONG and this this is just disturbing

no such thing when it comes this hobby I have my ebo about a 1/2" outta the water, because the box said that it wasent submersible shows you what a dumbass i am

okay so build this box outta glass and attach it to the back of the tank? or what about putting a piece of glass that is only say 14.5" tall in about 3"-4" away from the back on the inside? wouldnt that do the same effect? or kida cut like Front view _________________________ |`````` \_________/ ``````| top view _______________________ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |___|__________________| thats what i was kinda thinking of where would i find a float switch? sry for all the questons , i just wanna try to do this right

Okay here is the goal I picked up a 16" cube to make a nano tank with I want to have a sump/fuse ( going to use a 5-10gal tank) with a auto topoff what i am having a little issue with is plumbing and building the overflow for it i have a couple ideas, but having never done this before, could use a little guidance I will post some pictures tonight or tommorow of some of my ideas I am able to get the tanked drilled at my local glass shop (a couple good freinds own it) thx in advance Mark

well i dont want to just take over yours and josh's project, but i am willing to help if that works better

Andy i can only hope that my cube will look half as good as your tank :bow:

well i just though that i am new to the hobby and cant contribute much knowledge on fish stuff, but i am a full blown computer geek and i can do my best with that! :D

oh oh oh oh i want i want i want very nice rays, man i need a bigger house/income/fishtank

nudge? wtf u been smokin? damn reefers anyway

Greets, I almost took it upon myself and registered AlbertaAquatica.com or .ca and just pointed it to these forums, nothing is worse then sitting at a different computer and going to check the forums and have to go to Golds first just so that i can link here If you want i will build a site, host it, register it (at my own expense) just to get this more known in alberta. I can help out clubs like CAS and ACE with sections on the site for them, and links from all of our favorite retailers Just a though, but give it some serious thought, as i stated i do NOT mind giving up my time and money to further this forum to GREATNESS lol Also remember that i do this for a living so i have hosting servers at my disposal I am sure i could donate a few hundred megabytes and a couple gigabytes of bandwidth

Welcome and Greets, nice to see you over here Rich, we have alot of knowledge in this forums so i am sure if you need help with anything one of us can jump to the task

This forum is awsome! you will learn alot form these ppl and make some good fishy friends in the process!!!! Welcome and Enjoy!!!! What kind of tank are you looking at (fish wise)

very nice picture

No Problem Val, just rememeber to take your time and dont rush it

:tongue: I did mine in my computer work room and J-ROC has seen how small that was, i just put a fan at the door, it worked well

Doing this on a 55gal All you do is take a good i mean GOOD razor blade to strip the silicone, take your time and make sure you get it all Silicone will not stick to silicone, so you have to clean it well then just get some aqua safe silicone and remember a little bead will do ya, you dont want to gob it on Mark

:welcome: and Greets, i also have a big family not as many but we have 3 and one in the oven, so you never know we might just catch up to ya Mark

I always thought that the males where Orange with a blue tint and the female where a very bright almost neon orange?
