Corey,
 
I will trade you a bag or two of the black sand for that oolitic you won.

It's all in the silicone joints, and good quality glass cut to exact size. I'm not the best at joints by all means.]]> Thu, 11 Nov 2010 22:55:41 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40238&PID=384752&title=new-75-project#384752 <![CDATA[New 75 project : I am really impressed.

I am really impressed.  I would love to build my own tank soon.  anyway you could teach me some of the tricks of the trade?]]> Wed, 10 Nov 2010 10:51:10 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40238&PID=384413&title=new-75-project#384413 <![CDATA[New 75 project : I won two bags of black sand at...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40238&PID=383648&title=new-75-project#383648 Author: Corey Price

I won two bags of black sand at the reef fest today, so I'm really tempted to use it... I need to do some research on that stuff for sure. I also won a bag of sugar-fine aragonite sand and a gift certificate to Air, Water, and Ice, which is where I bought my RO unit, so I can buy new stuff for it!

Overflow weir is done. I notched the acrylic using the table saw and a jig I came up with. Shane Silcox's laser cutter was my second choice if the table saw jig hadn't worked, but it was fine and I don't have to bug Shane. Notice that the acrylic isn't black, but smoked. At first, I realized I grabbed smoked acrylic from the scrap bin, but I thought I could make this be a feature. I will be valving the drain and using a secondary backup drain, so I think this will be a great way to check levels. I am going to use 1" black PVC, so no problem seeing white PVC through the overflow.

If I get a wild hair, I will go and buy some black acrylic, though, and re-do it. I realized that the smoked will still let enough light through to grow stuff in the overflow. Also, the glue job wasn't the best on this one.

Corey

Yes, the project is still going. I had to take a break for a few months from everything, and when I came back, this thread was moved and everything changed on the board!

I bought the rough-sawn maple, some acrylic for the overflows and a new saw to build the stand.

I don't have pictures, unless someone wants pictures of scrap acrylic, some 6/4 maple and a table saw.]]> Mon, 07 Jun 2010 07:51:58 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40238&PID=362439&title=new-75-project#362439 <![CDATA[New 75 project : OKCorey, It has water and a light....]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40238&PID=358548&title=new-75-project#358548 Author: Mark Peterson

OK Corey, It has water and a light. What are you waiting for? Throw in some coral and fish.

Ryan,

I am using a Poseidon T4. I think there is a high pressure lower flow T3 that might flow less than 600 gph. You need some wattage to add heat, probably more than a 250 gph pump can produce.]]> Thu, 13 May 2010 13:59:14 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40238&PID=358506&title=new-75-project#358506
