Love the stand D how close are you to setting it up??

Nice finger pic by the way.

I did that same thing, cut the tip off and grossed the wife out when I brought it into her

She wasn't amused though.

lol. I got the stand in the living room. Thankfully the skimmer barely fits under the tank. Damn thing is so big. Im painting the back of the tank tonight and will hopefully have it on the stand for pics by tomorrow. Now I just need to pull money out of my arse to get some live rock. I stopped by homedepot today to get some playsand but on the bag it says not for aquariums. Looks like I have to make a trip to lowes and see about that newcastle stuff everyone metioned. Skinz can I paypal you some $$ for shipping me some of that sand from the trade?

You can go to HD and get replacement rods for blinds. http://www.blindsparts.com/servlet/Detail?no=1724

I looked at them and was alittle leary. I ended up ordering some 1/4 rods online for like $8 for 20 nine inchers.

What were you leery about? the strength of them or what they are made from?

D3monic · All powerfull drifter

both. Since the ones lowes had where hollow I didnt trust them to hold the weight.

WTF Too bad im not setting up a reef tank.....http://cgi.ebay.com/48-760-watt-MH-P...item2ea882e17a

Not a bad price but supposedly those units have really crappy ballasts

D3monic · All powerfull drifter

Ok I might go with this unless you guys have some negative input about it.

It doesnt say anything about ballast so I dont know if they are built in or what.

D3monic · All powerfull drifter

Trying to get a list of Macro algaes together.

So far I am liking.

Botryocladia
Gracilaria
Ochtodes
Padina sp
Halymenia
Dragons tounge
Acetabularia sp
fuzzy calerpa
Neomaris sp.
Fauchea sp.
Scinaia sp

Of course these depend on availability and compatability.
