What are the specs on a 30 long? Is it a "30 breeder" ?

4x4's are overkill.. taken to a whole new level. 2x4's are overkill for anything less than 75 gallons.. Look at what the manufacturers use.. 1x4's.. stapled and glued.. and they carry a warranty.. Truth is.. its all in the design.. you could use 1x4's in your framing and skin it with a...

Actually.. you've just confirmed to me and anyone that knows something about a good RO/DI unit that the unit you are touting is complete garbage. They advertise it as an all mighty 6 stage unit with dual DI's... I'm sure they've sucked alot of customers in to thinking these units are the real...

Yes.. your RO/DI may work with the low well pressure... but here is something to keep in mind: the best rejection rate of your RO membrane will take place with the higher pressure. Also that $87 RO/DI unit posted above looks like garbage.. looks like its made of cheap canisters and...

A 40g breeder is such a perfect "small" tank. Thanks for sharing.

The advantages of DI added to your RO system are explained as follows: An RO membrane for the most part does not reject 100% of the bad stuff.. The good RO membranes might get you 95-97% rejection.. So your output RO water will still possibly be above 0 TDS.. this really depends on how bad...

How-to: Make your own 70w MH Pendant - Nano-Reef.com Forums Here is an older thread where I'm getting the general idea of about using the halogen housings.

Countersunk and ready for screws & glue:

Prepping to cut a straight cut with a circular saw:

Even though it is a Metal Halide.. it is of 100w variety. If it requires a 100w bulb, then the ballast can only fire a 100w bulb. As far as I know, there are no 100w bulbs that are targetted for the aquarium industry.

Stand is being designed around a template that is in huge discussion on RC. Here is the design template. For the bottom and top boxes, I am using 2x3's. For the upright legs, I will be using 1x4's. The green parts in this design are "screw strips" and their only function is to screw the...

China imports, from the looks. CADLIGHTS

Love that cherry colored stand and canopy.

Had intensions of going to Lowes and getting my 1"x4"s, wood glue and screws and walked out $70 later . Always happens.. :) Had to grab a square, level, couple of clamps, Mini Kreg Jig, etc.. etc.. Skeleton/Frame will be built from 1"x4"s.. pocket hole joining, screws and some Titebond...
