    I understand, your pain. My wife was the same way. I had to beg to get her to let me have my 40 breeder. Would love a bigger tank.

    So how does one go about cleaning acrylic (as in getting coraline or algae off of it)?

    It didn't. I was in the kitchen refilling the bottle when it happened.

    Thanks

    Having the tank built was going to cost about $2500. Materials and cuts will cost me $1250. The sump was $500 because I went with 3/8" acrylic.

    I will be using 2 Reeflow dart pumps hybrids. One for return and one for the closed loop.

    I dont have a wifey but my significant other totally approved of it as long as she can pic a fish that can go with the reef.

    Credit card or acrylic mag float has worked.

    Thanks

    I am hoping it will to myself.

    I know a proffesional (his business is acrylic aquariums and skimmers) who can build you a better skimmer for probably a lot less money. Will PM you.
