NAH..It's tile so messes clean up easy..Like Bobby mentioned Agri Supply or if you have a Tractor Supply near you try them, worse case you can order online.

Aha, Tractor Supply is in my area, thanks :D !

For the past year I've been running the ro in my bathroom and oveflowing a 5g bucket. I know i should've had a float on it but it was on my trash can. Anyway i would forget it's running or the line fell out of the can. It was never more than a gallon at a time. The point: eventually it ruins tile too. Mine began lifting. Of course i hate that bathroom and it is the excuse to remodel now but Glenn says not until the ro goes to the garage lol! So I need a holding tank to do that.


So what kind of fish were you thinking of Andy?

Given the beauty of your corals, it's scary to think how striking this is going to be with a fish focus on this tank. Any particular fish picked out for a showpiece?

Thanks!! Im going to get a list together here soon and you guys tell me what you think.

I love wrasses and tangs so that leaves a lot open..LOL. I'll get a wish list here soon.

Yes. One MP60. I may change out to two MP40's when all said and done but for now the 60 is doing a great job.

You should be able to find MP40s for cheap now that everyone is trying to jump on the Maxspect Gyre bandwagon

Wow man thanks. That's a lot of reading. The real fun begins soon. It's been a fun build but the enjoyment will be adding life.

[QUOTE = spspirate; 2094304] Да. Один MP60. Я могу изменить из двух MP40-х, когда все сказано и сделано, но сейчас 60 делает большую работу. [/ QUOTE]
60 - it is great. But I think the more different points of creating for the better. This is my opinion.
