Maybe I missed it but why do you need sch80 pipe? that's pretty thick for aquarium plumbing, wouldn't standard wall be thick enough?

For my Gate Valve mod, it was a strictly cosmetic reason.

I think the extra thickness helps reduce vibration which would make everything quieter. I could be wrong on this though. Based on the price I paid, I'll be using sch. 40 for the 125.

Bulk Reef Supply has great prices on Sch80 plumbing. We have a local source here in Saskatoon with great prices too...there is no "Beautiful British Columbia" tax here.

Not a whole lot on the new tank front. Moved a few corals around in the 75, starting to grow into each other.

I'm also thinking of trying to do a Bonsai Style Aquascape, however I'm not sure how the logistics of it would work since I want to use my existing rock. Anyone know where I can get Acrylic Rods?

Attempt 1 at removing scratches = Failure. DIY Kit at Princess Auto did nothing.

I'm on the fence about trying Jeweler's Rouge or just living with it. As long as I keep it clean it shouldn't be that bad. This tank will also only be set up for a max of 2 years, so I may just live with them.

I busted out the Camera and my snorkel mask for a couple tank down shots tonight.







This coral was always brown, until about 3 weeks ago. Starting to show some promise.
