This is my fire place, they boxed out the corner posts, its only 1 piece of pine, but the crown compounds the look.
Not suggesting that but simple is sometimes elegant.

Send some my way. We had a quick downpour here in northern IL then blue skies... disappointing!


Of things NOT disappointing. I won the R2R cabinet from Coralvue!

Also, Scitronix sent me the files for the Cerebra/Littleblue. I have an operating controller again... for my new cabinet...

Congrats on the win/win! Very cool that Scitronix sent the files to you. Speaks well of them.


It'll be another 2-3 weeks until I pick up the tank.
I have 40lb of sand & 40lb of rock to go with the sand and rock already in the 40b that will get transferred over.
Figured the 10# of live rock will add biodiversity with my current rock while switching from the 40 to 120.
Only thing I'm debating is building a new stand.
Tank comes with a stand but there's a center divider and I'm not sure how much room I have to get a decent sump under there.?!
Hoping to use a 40b with a baffle kit for a nice cheap sump.
This dry rock I got from petco is amazing!!
I got THIS 40# Carib Sea dry rock from petco

There are also deals to be found on Amazon for CaribSea rock.

Looking forward to watching this come to life. I cannot recall if you have another build thread or will be adding this one to your existing thread. Which will it be?

Good morning. I had to catch up on the night shift's postings.

@Katrina71 The inspiration canopy looks "pieced together" rather than flowing together - if that makes sense. I am certain that yours will be tastefully done and turn out much better.

I hate this ******* 40b and almost smashed it this morning!!
I will NEVER get an external overflow ever again!!
I'm sick of constantly adjusting my gate valve 6 times per day.
I woke up this morning with a small leak from the overflow box that trickled down onto my power supply for my MP40 frying it, just had to order a new MP40 power supply.
I'm giving in and going to pick up that 120 this weekend.
That needs to be setup sooner than later before I do something I shouldn't.

Liked this for the 120 pickup but sucks about your MP 40. I wonder why you're having such a problem dialing in the external OF. I've run many of them and, once dialed in, rarely need to be adjusted.

I can go to bed with the overflow under half full and making gurgling noises, because of the strainer for the drain.
I'll wake up to silence and the overflow box full and leaking...I hate it!!
My office tank with internal overflow is silent and the gate valve hasn't been adjusted since i set it up!!

Wanted to wish everyone a safe, happy day! I will spending mine trying to scrape sponge & vermitid snails off of some of my zoa frags :mad:
I have asternia starfish eating my zoa's right now. I'm in need of a harlequin shrimp. I'm guessing fish stores are not making orders right now. And I'm not sure that getting one from online would be wise now either.

Gurgling noise sounds like there is air not allowing the water to go down. Strainer clogged? I had one and never had that pronlem.

have you checked for a snail shell in drain?
