because 48x20x30=28800in3 divided by 231.0087=124.67 gallons thats why

BTW derek tank is looking super sweet. love it dude

Any of those frags for sale or trade?

thanks for the math Terry!!! And yes the tank is looking pretty good for a guy who knows nothing...lol

I might part with a few. you will have to stop over and we will talk.:lol:

Consider it done. Last time I saw your tank, you were just starting to set it up.

sounds good.

Sorry when I did the math I must have put 40" but to go to decimal point... If you tank the inside dimensions of the tank it holds less water. I would agree more with 125 gallon then 124.67 as the later states an exact amount, where as, 125 is an approximate, or 120-110 would be even closer depending on the size of the glass. For example my tank has outside dimensions give my tank a "displacement" volume of 364.68 But the inside dimensions are closer to 320 gallons. I guess most aquarium manufactures like to make their tanks sound bigger so they put the displacement volume rather then the volume they can hold... /end rant. Sorry about that, I' just jealous of the life in your tank. :mrgreen:

hey no problem....thanks for looking:smile:

Most big box retailers probably just use the outside dimension and then round up making the tank sound bigger for sure.

Tanks looking good Derrick. Are you dosing any additives? Mg, Calcium or trace elements?

Not dosing anything, but want to get myself a profulix dosing unit and start dosing two part solution. i think i might get myself one very soon:lol:

I recently picked up a Profilux 2ex controller and hope to get a GHL 4 pump dosing set-up as well. Just cant seem to keep my levels up to par without a lot of work.

"Ya maan....da tank looks smokin":hat:*said with a Jamaican type accent*:wink:

Ya I here ya man, do you find them easy to operate, or do you have to be a scientist to run them?

wow you been practicing:lol:

I found it to be fairly easy, I downloaded the PC program and just played around with it. Slickfork as one as well so getting help with it is easy.

cool thanks.

Hey Derek! You take awesome pics-really nice collection of corals! :mrgreen:Your tank is looking superb! Nice seeing ya on Saturday!

Ya thanks Carmen:lol: was nice seeing you this weekend take care and nice job on the web site...:wink:

hope you like:lol:

I really like the flow of the land you've got there... nice and natural it looks great man.

That green digi is like a plague I find. If yours is anything like mine it will fill your tank and encrust every last square inch if given the chance! Annoyingly enough mine usually wins sps battles where they occur if the other sps is not a digi.

Your saramentosa looks awesome too. Mine's just a little guy I'm looking forward to a colony sized piece like yours.

Thanks man, as far as that digi it has taken a long time to mature very slow process,but my saramentosa it is a very fast grower would like to start fragging it soon its getting pretty big.

Lookin real good Derek. When did you pick up the copperband?

Thanks, I picked it up about 3 weeks ago.

Last picture just left of center, is that the little piece of rose milli i gave you?

You bet it is...its growing pretty slow but is doing well:lol:

Tanks looking sweet Derek, but I didn't see those kick arse rhodatis shrooms in you FTS. Where did you get them? I want some :biggrin:

:redface: I thought they were ricordeas.. lol just cause of the bumpiness

Thanks man,I still have them Can't remember where I got them from:redface:

I have some:twised:...... tanks looking really good "D" man:biggrin:

thanks Doug:biggrin:

Yup, some real nice pics there
C'mon tank order ..........

Thanks.:smile:
