Enjoyed your thread JDub.

JDub,
Don't ever say it out loud, just drift off to sleep as you run all the indivudual $ through your head. That way you are asleep before you reach the total.

Well Im currently designing a new tank for the living room so am building a new cabinet and hood to go with it!!! And Ive even got my new shed (and the code ) to help me along the way
not to mention the new tools (triton etc etc) to play with
Some progress pics: Its basically the same as the 6 foot one earlier in the thread, only design change is Ive left the hood open topped to decrease the reliance on exhaust fans.
The tank will be a cubed 350L hard coral (SPS) marine tank. See here for more details: http://www.masa.asn.au/phpBB2/viewto...=357875#357875
Pics: Frame of Hood and Cabinet:

And the stucture all but complete, now gotta seal, stain, estapol etc etc
Side of Cabinet and top of hood in foreground:
Hood (again minus doors and removable side panels)
And all the doors and removable side panels (to be fitted after finishing/staining etc)

Mate you need help! You are obviously suffering from JASLT syndrome.
That stands for Just a slightly larger tank...
Looks great so far, you will have to be more careful spraying mossie spray around with the open hood.
Will your tank have drain pipes and topup connections or do you siphon by hand, (sorry I'm ignorant about marine tanks)

SWMBO wont let me spray mossie spray in the house even I wanted too, she hates the stuff.....
Top up water resevoir will be plumbed in via float valve to deal with the evaporation.
The overflow into the wier and then to the sumps will be via a manifold (with ball valves) that can be turned on and off for water changes
Eg turn off valve from tank to sump and turn on valve from tank to water change buckets. make sense? Will post a pic when its done.I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming in terror like the passengers in his car.

LOL, MASA is slow today and im wasting time at work
Its a replacement, have sold the 6 footer and am going with this smaller but more specialized system Eg. Eurobraced, more powerful lighting, more flow, lower fish loads, heavier skimming, higher end corals etc etc.
Im sure most of this crap is boring the hell out of the WW's here... 'stupid fish geeks' is what they are thinking right about now.... arnt ya? Righto then, I will go read a thread about SCMS and Sheds so I get my mind back onto WWing and other suitably blokey matters.I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming in terror like the passengers in his car.

Sooooo your down sizing ....... this could be even more serious than I initially thought.............
I thought your 6 footer was pretty dagned nice, which means we have very high expectations for this one.............no pressure mind.
Ps I hope Dorey and the eel didn't get sold with the tank.
