FateX9 Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 thing is ive use both kinds and never had a problem with either its ge silicon 1 and silicon 2 2 is the bad one but ive used 2 in my tanks before without a problem, and they only have 2 in the squeeze bottles dont want to get a huge caulk tube of si1 for a few spots, and im also only using it on the outside so not a huge issue Link to comment
glennr1978 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 So you need to cut the pvc length-wise? That shouldn't be to hard, just mark a straight line, clamp it in a vice, and start cutting. You'd be amazed what you can do if you go slow and just use a decent hand saw. Link to comment
bdare Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 If you have an ACE hardware they sell "aqaurium silicone" and Lowes has it. Home Depot does not.... At least by me. The anti-mildew is what's bad.... Link to comment
nanoty Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 the pvc parts connecting to the scwd is a threaded 90 and the thing connected to that is an mpt x barb fittingFINALLY GOT A COMPUTER so now i can take as many pics as i want to and upload right away only problem is theres nothing to update... lol No I mean the PVC INSIDE the tank that connects the two out flows TOGETHER. I don't get it. BTW, not yelling just trying to explain myself better Link to comment
FateX9 Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 i wish i could go to homedepot or lowes anytime i wanted but its 30 minutes away and dont feel like going out to get one thing but ill be going that way tomorrow so ill probably get it tomorrow but wont be back until sunday night the top one is going to be the overflow like uhuru's and the bottom one is supposed to be a spraybar being fed from both sides via a scwd not sure if im still going with the spraybar Link to comment

Not hatin' just curious.. Link to comment
FateX9 Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 itll spray from side to side gradually instead of from one side to another if that makes sense i dont have a reason for doing this just trying something new out Link to comment

Type whatever you want to call it then hit the "insert link" tag (its the button above that has a little + sign) Paste your thread link in the space and click Ok and apply the new sig.

TJ_Burton Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Can't wait to see that beast with water in it! Link to comment
FateX9 Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 lol you and me both have a quick question, should i just dump the sand in without rinsing? its dry sand so its probably alright its been a while since ive had a tank with sand so dont remember what im supposed to do im pretty sure i used to just dump and add water without rinsing well, ive been thinking up a fish list i know i had one before but its constantly changing currently i have an onyx and picasso clown pair and a single white cap clown as of right now, i want to get another white cap, a pair of rosy fin fairy wrasses (C. bathyphilius) and a pair or trio of sunburst anthias then, when i go with the 90 get a pair of bellus angels Link to comment
ProFlatlander15 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 NO! Don't put the sand in without rinsing it! It has alot of dust and particles that will cloud up the water quite a bit (even longer than usual)! Rinse in like 1 gallon increments, that way you can get most of the dust out, and have a clear tank faster. EDIT: Tank looks awesome by the way. Well planned. Keep up the good work! I love 40bdrs.

FateX9 Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 sooooo bummed right now, i hate everything right now my freakin onyx clown jumped today ive been looking for this particular kind of onyx morph for years, and the worst part is i dont even have a good pic of her she was paired with a picasso and the onyx was always the bully so i have no clue what could have happened to startle her enough to jump! DAM YOU LIFE! now i may get rid of my picasso now that i hate everything and just stick with the white caps dont want to make any rash decisions so no decision making is going on today except i will be getting water in the tank today since everything is set up Link to comment
