I think my first SW tank was online in 1998, so 16 years now.

moved to salt water in 2000, took that tank down in 2009, looking at starting up another (but smaller) tank now.

well to tell the truth I have been to busy with other stuff, now life is slowing down a bit, and I have come to terms with not being able to do a big tank.

I have to do a vibration text downstairs, we live a little to close to the tracks here and I wold hate to have a tank fail on me because of my own stupidity, so I want to see how much they will make the water move in the basement before I start into it again. then it will be a long process as I am building my own reactors and skimmer and such, I still have about 1500 bucks of raw acrylic tube in the garage that I need to use up, and 4 reactors and a monster skimmer than just need me to finish them up.

Doug, how close to the tracks are you? and does it move your water?

Steve

Your just going to either tell the train the move or slow it down, nothing a little speed bump won't take care of

Just curious as I have seen you post that before how close to the tracks are you?

well there is the tracks, then about 100 feet to the road, then the house behind me and mine, so 700ish feet I would guess.
