    Default Questions

    Just a few questions:
    Right now I have a 30 gallon long tank 50 lbs of live rock, two maxijet powerheads, a cpr hob skimmer, 40 lbs of live sand, and a 192 W pc light fixture. I'm living on the second floor of an apt. complex and was wondering if it would be ok to add a 10 or 20 gallon sump/refugium? Would this be too much weight? It's placed sitting in the corner of my living room if it matters.

    Second part of first question:
    If it is ok to add a sump/refugium considering the extra weight, would it be alright if I got a new 30 gallon, drilled the holes and everything and then capped em off until I could get a sump/refugium built and do all the plumbing after it's built?

    Third question:
    Anybody know if there's any aquarium specials (just the tank) goin on around town since it's Christmas right now?

    Manny you'll be okay on 1&2. I had a 65gal the third floor of my old apt.

    Check with Fintique, they usually have good prices on tanks.

    Ok, thanks guys. Checked Fintique the other day and all they had was the brown trim on the 30 gallon they had there. They had a 38 gallon with black trim but I don't know if it's the same footprint as mine. Are AGA ok for drilling? What tank brand would you guys recommend?
