    I posted my initial conclusions in one of my blogs last month, but the full review will come later when I mix up a massive amount for the new tank.

    cool. first reactions i guess are good. everything mixing well, and parameters are within check?
    (im guessing you will do a review on the new salt later, so if you want to hold off or keep your first reactions quiet till further testing is done, then that is very understandable.)

    I've done three water changes in October, and two of them were with the Sybon salt. No issues at all.

    Marc, have you done a water change on your living room tank system. (i dont know the technical name for it)
    and have you used the new sybon salt? or are you sticking with the usual salt that you have been using to prevent any change or stress? just curious..

    dang..... I have no college classes on thursday.... but if it doesnt arive till 6 or 7, plus install time, and then a 5 hour drive back for 8:00 AM classes.
    if it were a weekend, i would drive 5 hours to do anything to help (and to meet face to face with a legend!)
    if plans change, update, because i could see myself driving!!

    Tentatively, I'm looking at 6pm to 7pm Thursday, but that won't be locked in until I speak with the shipping company in the A.M. tomorrow.

    I'm going to need some help putting it in place, and am trying to determine the exact time of arrival.
    Marc, I may be able to help you. I live in Carrollton, PM me the time of arrival and I may be able to swing out that direction to give you a hand if needed.

    For that sized sump, you could use 1/4" for the entire project. If you prefer 3/8" and want to use 1/4" for the top and bottom, that's fine.

    Mark,
    regarding sumps in general. Let say I want to build a 42"x19" sump that is 16" high with 10" baffles. I guess I need to use 3/8 acrylic, but can I safely use 1/4" acrylic for bottom and top brace parts?
    Thanks,
    Oleg
