I am thinking of getting an ATB Deluxe (8.5 or 10.5). Does anyone have a some pictures or detailed specs? I have read some good reviews and am trying to figure out what about its design that make it work well. -height and width of cone (top and bottom)? -height and width for neck -whole size...

Nice Tank! Great deal on a great setup. If you end up parting out I will take the skimmer.

Hi, Does it come with the pump I C in the photo?

Thanks CFG for the feed back. They do look like great skimmers. I wonder why I don't I hear much about them. For the price of one of them i could get a nice BK.. Personaly I like the longer body as i think contact time is important. This combined with the reserculation make me think this is...

Does any one use a Reeflo skimmer? They look very well made but I don't hear much about them? Is there something people don't like about them? This is the unit I was thinking about getting.

Thanks every one! Any sugestions on a sand size or place to get starboard?

Thanks for all the feed back everyone! I guess a thin SB is ok as long as it is stired and cleaned regulary. Should I get some sand sifting critters? Does anyone know where I can get a 2' x 4' sheet of starboard localy? Is there any problems with junk getting stuck under the starboard or...

Thanks. I guess that is my first question then. How thin / think should my sand bed be if i dont want a DSB.

I would like to go with a very minimal layer (.5") of fine sand with my new 140 gal mixed reef. I have heard stories of falling rocks breaking tank bottoms. Any sugestions on what I can easly cut to fit the bottom of my tank to protect it from falling rocks?

How much for the dart?

Thanks Alex!

Any contractor types or tank builders have any ideas?

Thanks everyone for all the ideas on the center brace. I ended up adding a removable brace. My next problem is to get the top of the stand flat. I am primarily concerned about the edge as that is where the tank will rest. I was thinking of adding a thin layer of vinyl paneling and gluing...

Stand Pict. Thanks Albano. Sent PM. This is a picture of what I have so far. The top front member is 10" h and 3.75" thick.

Albano, Thanks for the invite. I would love to see your setup sometime. Just to clarify. Are you saying there is not center brace in the front? About how wide is the opening?

Thanks! I will post picts soon. I was thinking about having a door on the side but don't have much room. If I have a door on the sided the I will only have 2 inches of wood btw the door end the edge of the stand.

This is one for all those engineer / builder types on the site... I am building a stand for my 140 gal (2' x 4') tank and am debating if I need a center brace in the front between the two front doors. The stand is made out of 3/4" hard wood ply double thick. I have also added a third pc...
