Gorgeous tank, Justin. :thumbs:

Awesome project, Grimm. Great job! :thumbs:

Calgary Fasteners sells the large tubes of GE SCS1200.

Nice work Dan! Coming along nicely. :thumbs:

Cool shots, Ryan! Gotta love that first one.

Great looking tank, Jay!

Good point. I should have qualified that as "High TDS Tap Water = Cyanobacteria".

A lot of reef keepers use RO (reverse osmosis) water or have an RO/DI (reverse osmosis/de-ionization) units installed in their homes.

Tap Water = Cyanobacteria It's just a matter of time.

The folks at Canreef ( http://www.canreef.com/modules/Active_Topics/index.php ) are very helpful too. Consider it as another option to save a few $$.

Another thing to bear in mind......if you are keeping mouth brooders, the crushed coral has sharp edges that "can" damage eggs.

Community tanks (and the varying species) take on a whole new dynamic. Even species tanks depend on the species. Mbuna can be crowded, others cannot. For Tropheus in particular, I'd be hard-pressed to find better advice than that provided by RD. Good luck with your venture into Tropheus, Brad.

Looks great Justin. Keep up the nice work!

Source GE SCS1200 (Black). It is what the tank builders use and has higher tensile strength than even the RTV. 120 gallons can make a huge mess if not contained properly. -05- I have 3-4 of tubes I could part with. I would just charge what I paid plus the Greyhound charge to get them to you. PM me if you are interested.

Nice shot!
