Can't let my wife see this:

- starphire on three sides
- black tinted glass for back pane (avoid overfow area being different color)
- wider external overflow
- 8 feet long rather than 6
- lower stand 6 inches and make tank 30" tall
- Tile up the bottom 6" of glass though so the floor of the tank dissapears
- have sumps etc built for me to increase safety
- find way to eliminate center post in stand

Can't let my wife see this:

I wonder what my wife will say when I start cutting the hole in the wall for the tank, probably not much, but I will be ducking a lot and sleeping with my eyes open....

Ok hopefully everyone's browser will support the network cam I installed. You should see my webcam right in the thread below this text.

If you watch long enough you can see the ro/di level go up it's the AWESOME! You guys watch and tell me what you think.

Oh the excitement!

Going with a sandbed eh? I gotta say I don't blame you. I understand the betterness of no sandbed but man I can't get wrap my head around the look, it just looks better with sand. At least when it's all nice and clean anyhow..

Yeah my first tank was BB and I hate the look. I'll do whatever it takes to keep sand. Going to get an eheim sludge extractor for vacuuming.

No idea actually. I was going to look more seriously when I have things running. Trying not to abuse my wife's kindness too much...prioritizing my purchases lol.

Ok...quick search show big als sells them. If any vendors reading this can get them in please drop a note here.

Ok #2...I read the description there and it says not designed for use with sand. what gives?
