@Da Maui life - Thanks for the info on the correct solvent to use.

Will do.. Am I'm going to wait till I have the 3 PVC pretty stocked before I set the acrylic ones up but soon it'll be 7 tanks in the garage.

Not as impressive as the last one but I have a 20 gallon DIY frag tank currently with a 36 inch t5 light, in a few days I have a 120w LED pendant coming

and to each other.

Weld On solvent cements Like #3 and #4 are not recommended for PVC

According to some manufactures depending on type of board PVC cement will work for PVC Foam Board. i.e. gluing the joint.( go by what the manufactures recommend for adhesives)

thanks for the info I called my local store in Puerto rico west indies plastics and ask them about the pvc solvent and they told me weld on 20.07? now I'm confuse lol? any suggestion

IPS Weld-On #2007, Vinyl CEMENT, is a water-thin, very fast setting solvent cement for bonding PVC, Foamed PVC and Kydex to themselves and to each other.

IPS Weld-On #10 Two part, High-strength structural adhesive for bonding PVC, acrylic, styrene, ABS and polycarbonate. Also bonds well to steel, non-anodized aluminum, etc.

IPS Weld-On #40 Is especially formulated to bond extruded, cast, and cross linked acrylic sheets. It will also bond acrylic to polyester, butyrate, polycarbonate, PVC and other materials.

I would think Weld-On 2007 would be the best as it specifically mentions foamed PVC. Also looks like #10 and #40 may work since they mention PVC. Although I think the PVC being mentioned here is solid sheet and tube PVC. You could always contact IPS and ask for recommendation.

I am noticing that zebrasoma and yellow wrasse are extremely common in these tanks. I am a little surprised considering the jumping tendency of the wrasses and that these are mostly open top. Zebrasoma isn't so surprising, but I am surprised at the preference to sailfin over yellow tangs.

[Andrew johns]

I do have 2 tanks with yellow tangs in and the other sailfin in them .

Awesome setups people!

Wait, you can use a fire extinguisher for CO2?

Im already planning a move up to a larger system (current one is a 20 long). I have a good sump tank (50 breeder), a 90 gallon angle iron stand and i can get a 48x18x12 in trade from someone who owes me a favor.

So right now im thinking, 45 low frag tank (48x18x12), dumping into a the breeder tank for the sump.

My plan for nutrient control is to use bio pellets, and if that doesnt work out to my liking ill go to vodka since i know what to expect with that stuff.

I have another tank i might plumb into this, which is roughly 30 gallons (30x18x10). This would bring my total system volume up too about 125. With 125 gallons of bacterial driven filtration, anyone have a good skimmer recommendation? External would be nice, but i can make it work if not.

[elio]

geez.. there are some really nice tanks here..

[Jmikitz]

my prop tanks nicer then my display . 120gal 48x48x12 . connected to my main system .. right around 400gl ..
