Lockrookie - that was a good movie
 thought my family was the only ones that quoted movies lol.I have tons of moisturizer. Calgary is rated dryer than a desert, its a constant battle with dry skin. I didn't even think about dealing with salt.I bet your wife wouldn't enjoy cracked and rough sailor's hands  Thanks everyone. I can hardly wait to see it Salty. Ill get a vacuume hose today (someone threw mine away!) and do a water leak test. Sorry Nano you are on your own for your sump! although I can't imagine it is as nasty as this tank was. What brand/s are good for water test kits? Last edited by magikof7; 07-08-2012 at 04:50 PM. Reason: typo

Well I ordered a few things today. I didn't get a stand, it looks like Im going to have to build one.
Media Basket, Tunze nano skimmer, RO/DI unit and clear plastic mesh (since I am upgrading lights and wont be using the canopy) I wanted to Order more but must show restraint since I'm new! I don't need all those toys right away.  There was a Vertex refractometer for almost half price at the LFS, are they any good? $99.99 down to $56-59. I want something reliable I think the plastic float ones for me are going to be a pain.

WOW! Got my Skimmer today! J&L are FAST! I will definately be trying to order what I can through them!
 (I placed my order Sunday)another peice of equipment to taunt me lol. I have drawn up a design for my stand to accomodate a gravity fed 10 gal fuge. I might try to find a granite shop and see if they have some scrap granite that would fit for the tops. Tank passed the leak test. It crossed my mind that maybe it was leaking, got torn down and thrown in the garage quick with how filthy it was. I should have more faith in people.

I got my Ro/Di unit today! So excited lol.
I got the Media basket, skimmer cup and fish saver. last couple of weeks have been like xmas! I'm hoping to have the Stand built and Saltwater ready by Monday. I have been unimpressed with any liverock I have seen while touring the LFS' so I am not sure what to do, Having it shipped is looking like it's the way to go. I wish there was word on RedCoral if they had planned to re-open soon I'd wait. I bought a Vertex Refractometer the other day. I still have to grab test kits and get a larger return pump. I am still not sure what to do about lights. I was leaning towards a Radion. It would be nice if I could keep my hood. I have a big hairy Giant dog and 5 other small dogs. Staying on top of the Dog hair is a constant battle I would like it to stay out of my tank TYVM! Can a Radion be Mounted in the canopy if I Mod it?

Right on. Let's get some water going.
Either a AI sol or radion could fit if you moded a canopy. There is a fan in both so that is a consideration. The radions guts are seperate so it's smaller profile. I have both and they hang 10" above water so that's another thought. As for rock put a ad on here looking for. Somebody will sell some
