  1. I will second that.... If i had to do my 300 again it would be acrylic for sure..... 6 guys and it almost didnt get in the house.... and youve met me, Im just a little guy
  2. Well bro If you need anything welded just let me know.... My 300 is 3/4 glass and its 30" high. 8x2x30" If you were going any wider I would say 24" is maximum height. Also euro braces..... As long as you have the know how to seal it and silicone it I dont see why it wouldnt work all glass. But is it tempered? What are the sheet dimentions? And how are you going to cut it? 3/4" is a bugger to cut in a home garadge with hand tools.... If you get cheap glass theres no reason why not..... And Ill have the bits to drill it (as long as its not tempered) in a few days as I have to do my 180's for the rack..... Also there is a tank builder that may be coming to town from calgary in march to build a monster in my friends house if all goes well... But he dosent work for beer like me.....
  3. Awesome guys, Ill have to check em out...... I have such a hard time leaving princess with any money tho lol
  4. I think im gonna tackle the overflows on a few of my tanks over the holidays and I need some larger sized glass cutting bits. Anyone know of a good cheap place to pick them up? Im scared to ship anything from china right now express or not..... Also need a good cheap place for 1 1/2 and 2" bulkheads Thanks for the help guys
  5. Im happy now.... Tanks are a good deal too but the livestock is one to watch out for..... that and prime/stability
  6. The only reason I brought up beefheart in the first place is that it is still commonly used in asia and lots of Gro Outs around the world due to remarkable size growth when its fed to catfish IE Paroon sharks..... Much like discus ect ect. Its still all over google and this is the first I have actually heard of it causing a negative with this type of fish..... Dont get me wrong..... I would never feed it to an arowana because it increases the risk of dropeye or abnormal body shape with such quick growth rates.... I never put much thought into it after that. But after being corrected I have taken it out of all my catfish/gar/gourami feeding routine just as a precaution. It is going to be a battle getting them to take NLS and I cant find any bulk massivore anywhere but this is all for the fish anyways........Right?
  7. I remember a few years back buying 3 fluval 404's at $75 each at a petcetra on boxingday...... Do places still do this? Anyone know who may be doing what and when this year ? Do they do whole store sales? Livestock? Thanks in advance
  8. Ive heard of a local car stereo shop that will do alarms and full stereo installs...... Then go to the address left on the invoice at 2am and just take it back.... Its a crappy deal about the tank..... theres 2 or 3 120's on kijijji now? Hope you find it.
  9. Glad to see they came through Ok Looking great
  10. are there alot of welders on this site? lol I was gonna offer services but....Gotta love Oil Country
  11. Big tanks like that are always fun If you get a sump system make sure you have a lid for that aswell. You may get a bit more moisture but a great filter for such a tank. Also you can run a bathroom fan on a timer or sensor in the small space (cheap and effective) Also did you want the front glass flush? I have seen a few tank designs now that have a 4 inch lip in the front so you can fit the stand behind and Ontop of the studs and headder and have the glass flush with the drywall, Then its just a frame around the tank on the drywall side and its done on that side
  12. Great to hear he made it in ok and good lookin pair too. Still cant believe my baby gator ate that elephantnose lol Should put up a tank shot
  13. Well the next time I keep em Ill have to try that.... My tig, tiger shovelnose and redtail cat wont touch NLS at all.... And it makes such a mess in the filter I try to feed it sparingly for just the fish that will actually eat it. Never seen 2 gents turn there nose up at beefheart like that before lol..... You guys have a bad experience or are you vegetrian or what? Its been recommended to me since forever.....and thus far i havent had a problem adding it to anyones diet? But if theres a reason..... Ill gladly pull it from my regieme
  14. That is crazy.... Never seen one eating pellets before.... congrats
  15. Paroons./....... And I LOVE THEM....... Good job bro...... they get MAssive...... Feed em beefheart and prawns and you will get 2-3" a month I had 6 get 24" in less than 8 months from the 5" i bought them at
  16. No tanning either eh? What farm is this one from? Great looking gill plates and rims
  17. I want to get one sooooo bad..... That is one sexy stingray
  18. Looks Amazing as always Bro That is one spoiled pair but it sure is working eh
  19. The gourami moved back to the big tank with the shovelnose after the snakehead tried to eat them.... He has turned out to be my little super predator..... Also put a 14" clown knife in there for about 15 seconds
  20. Ill have some comming in friday If anyone is interedsted PM me
  21. lol yup.... When i switched all my bulbs from cool white to 6500k My old lady didnt even notice.... I had to put a corkscrew flourecent bulb of each kind into a Y adapter just to show her the diffrent colors and how it changes what it illuminates.... and still.... all i got was..... Cool
  22. Golds, riverfront and Big Als they are usually the big hitters for exotics
  23. J When your ready for a young aro you just let me know brother..... Jardini, black,even asian i can get a good deal on from time to time I had a friend that did a tour of all the shops in calgary and I just called ahead getting things on hold The Indo dat came from golds. Phoenix thanks for all the help wish i could have made it down there too.
  24. He He..... I got my fill of gars today 3 baby true gators and 2 more 12" floridas
  25. This to me would also make the most sense. I haven't had the chance to play around with any chloramine problems so others will probably be more knowledgable. The only other thing you could look at is there are a certain type of fliter blocks when used with my one housing the water seems to bypass the filter which I solved by adding in another gasket at the top of the block. I had chlorine issues for awhile when this was happening. I have tested the water coming out of the drip and it tests perfectly clear for chlorine and chlorimines.... Im sure the filters are seated well and the gaskets are pretty thick on this system. Its really odd as even the .05 ammonia isnt terrible for the hardy fish i keep and its fully cycled with ALOT of bio media so Im sure it can catch up..... But every time i run it a few days the fish look stressed, fins start to clamp, diet starts to dwindle ect. I can do the exact same amount of water change with my 5 gallon pails and a pinch of prime and everybody is just fine..... I dont suppose anyone can point me towards a video or walkthrough on the doser setup?
