    Good luck, Marc. I imagine that you were not able to get any sleep last night. Hopefully, you can figure out a short term patch to keep things up and running until a solution can be found.

    Marc, I am soooo sorry to hear this. Hasn't been up that long, hopefully still under warranty. But besides that, such a pain to have to scramble to move fish, corals.

    And to think, we were just talking about your good luck. This SUCKS! All I know is that no tank warranty can replace that sinking feeling when your tank is leaking and your livestock is in jeapordy. I hope it can be fixed!!

    This is not good considering I have a similar tank on the way. I wonder why the seem split right in the middle? Seems like any buckling would split it at the top or bottom. Is the tank still level in all directions and not twisted in any way? I am very sorry to hear this Marc, I wish I could help in some way.

    oh man, so sorry to hear that... i cant believe it.. tank is just over a year old. I am sure you are going to contact the manufacture about it, what kind of warrantee do they have? I know that really dosent help you much in this sutiation, but i would like to see if the builder of the tank will back up their work. Keep us updated..

    I can't believe it! That is so much worse than what I expected to see!!! Can you say FREE CUSTOM 800 GAL FROM MARINELAND JUST FOR ALL THE BAD PRESS THEY ARE ABOUT TO GET!? Marc, wish I was closer to help out. Good luck!

    I just don't post all the times I win nada, nothing, zip. So it may look like a windfall, but if it weren't for the LED fixture, it might not have been as dramatic.

    Yes, I got Pohl's Xtra and Tropic Marine's Elimi-Phos. These were in goody-bags, lumped in with other items.

    I spy a bottle of phols Xtra in there too? I dang near ordered that last week but decided to start with the zeobak instead. I'll have to post up some reviews on these dosing products I'm trying out once I've got a few more weeks under my belt.

    I am sorry for your loss of the two. I have a single one (the other member of the pair died in QT a year ago when they first arrived), but it has been the most entertaining fish in the tank.

    Albeit, he spends most of his time hiding in a rock, but he comes out to take a cheap shot at the Tang every once in a while if he gets too close.

    They are great little fish.

    I can't believe you are finally giving me the final dimensions. You must have built the stand at last, right? If you wanted to run an external pump, the Snapper Hybrid would be a decent choice. Problem is that it uses a 2" bulkhead and that means a 3" hole in an area that is barely 3.5" wide if the refugium is 14" wide. Best make it 13.5" then. So, don't drill it; just let you use the Mag 12 for now right? You initially placed this order 7/25/10!

    Of course I do Marc lol, here are the measurements for one of your masterpieces: 42 x 18 x 16 Model G-Modified Skimmer section 11" wide (skimmer 14 x 9) you can double check my measurements for the skimmer section since you have the skimmer. External pump type? (I was planning on using an internal pump, I have a mag 12) I need to know what size bulkhead you will use and what size hole I need to drill for it. Refugium 18 x 14 x 12, I'll bring the 50 for the kit when I pick up the sump. I will forward you the messages I have on our discussion if you want me to. I'm really looking forward to seeing it once it's completed.

    What? You still want that sump?! LOL - you need to get me some dimensions after all. The kit is $50.

    Hey Marc, how much do I need to give you to include the Top-It-Off kit with my sump?
  19. matt_longview's Avatar
    Haha. Yeah repeat business would be nice. Can't wait to hear about the future shop. :-)
  20. melev's Avatar
    I think I need to start building biodegradable sumps that need to be replaced at three years. lol

    The future shop will have some acrylic accessories. The announcement will come soon.

    Yes, that's a Next Reef protein skimmer.
