well im not going to stay in the nano build so ill try this one.this is not a perminant build if it starts to go no where im going to stop building it so i have to stay motivated
heres what i want to do ive been covering my 90 into a sps reef but i want to start over. my sps allways fall down, i need to have alot more flow and im tired of the sand plus i dont like my stand
so im going to go bb with a cuttingboard fsb and a "fly guy" ivisible rock lift.
im going to order a pump for a cls maybe a sequence.i need to order a ice cap 660 for actinics. i allreadt have the sump adn dont want a new skimmer so im good there.

No sense of PSing them out.

Good luck with the rock lifts. You should have it pretty easy as you only need to drill a 1/2 inch into the starboard to hold the rods without glue.

Where'd you order the board and rod? I've been tempted to build a lift, but can't find the materials in my area - go figure....

[chrischris]

i bought the board from a place called the cutting board company and the rod from uspc

Good call, I bought all of my acrylic sheet and rods for my lifts from US Plastics as well.
