How about a small piece of the yellow/red favia you have? No money needed, I put in the ad trade a frag for the RO/DI and Litermeter. Lee

Hey all, I have a Spectrapure CSP RO/DI unit with pressure gauge but NO filters (DI, Carbon, or Sediment) or RO membrane. I also removed the flow restrictor as I was planning on increasing the output capability. I figured this would be great for someone who wants to get started with their own RO/DI water. I am only looking for a frag in exchange, but if you don't have that no problems. It is still yours. I do have some extra 1/4 tubing you can have as well. You can check out spectrapure's website for more information on their membranes and filters. I also have an original Spectrapure Litermeter body only (have no idea where power supply got to). It is free to whoever wants it. I live in Georgetown. Lee

I would like the Pumpkin zoo's, rugosa and maybe 15 to 20 lbs of live rock. What is your paypal? Lee

broke?

Ok, I think I am figuring it out. I was making adjustments way to big with the valves instead of tweaking and fine tuning. I will post any further questions I might have. Lee

Hey, anyone in the Georgetown area or Round Rock area good at plumbing? I have a little too much noise from drain and some bubbles n return. I have never used a sump before and could use some help. email me at [email protected] or call 512.869.5792 Thanks, Lee

Well, I bought a used one for a great price. Plugged it in and it is producing bubbles up into the collection chamber at a ridiculous rate. I went to the website and downloaded an owner's manual. I have the rubber gasket set as low as possible so as to maximize the bubble column. After reading the manual, I did realize the microbubbles in the tank is normal for a few weeks during break-in. It does have the optional drain plug which I have going to a container, but it will be filling certainly within a day at this rate. Is this normal for a new one? Thanks, Lee

Wow, two offers from people who don't even live in Georgetown!!! I hate the thought of someone having to drive so far to take care of my tanks. I have a friend who lives close (just not a reefer). Let me check with him before I have someone drive in from out of town. What an awesome group to get so much offers from out of town!!! Lee

Judith, Thanks and have a safe Christmas!! Will definitely keep you in mind for future trips. Lee

Is there anyone in the Georgetown area who can watch, add top-off water, keep an eye on my tank from Dec. 25th - 29th? There are a couple of frags in the deal for sure!! I live in Georgetown Village. Lee Hoy Georgetown

Very interested in your sump. Lee

And so the dream ends and reality begins. ; ) Lee

Man, if we got GreenMako coming to Austin from SA we will have be fortunate!!! Great to have you. Lee

Well, I thought I would share some photos of my favorite tank. It is a venomous only (for fishes) tank. It is a 20L with some zoa's, a flower anemone, a green Sinularia, and a few other corals. Good clean up crew and the look is a rubble filled tank and sandy bottom to try and represent where these guys stay. Here are the fish inhabitants: 1.) Longspine Waspfish 2.) Ambon Scorpionfish 3.) Leaffish Some photos: Will add some more photos later. P.S. - Anyone recognize the Montipora and Xenia frags? Both are doing great although the Xenia was closed up for the photo. I will hopefully have some Sinularia frags at a meeting to come. Lee

Generally, you can take what you paid and start at 50%. Unfortunately, that is the case with systems. You can always do better by parting the system out. Lee

I see you found the club. Welcome. Lee

I think I can make it. Lee

Forgot to mentiont that Carlos has a smaller yellow one at River City Aquatics. Lee

Actually, I have had the yellow for a while. Just decided to change avatars. Here are a few more: I am still looking for a black, red, or blue one. Lee

Sounds awesome, I would buy a ticket. Lee

It was a pleasure meeting everyone. The frags are awesome. Thanks to Kingfish Aquariums, Steven, and the others who brought frags. Thanks to Joe for the food and opening your home. I can't wait until the day I can host a meeting. Lee

I'll take some. Lee

Is it just me or does it seem impossible to "truly" create live rock that has never been in the ocean? I have been reading Anthony Calfo's book "Invertebrates" and I just don't see how something we make can ever really replicate what is made naturally? Now, having said that, I'm not against the idea, just curious I guess. Of course, when you see some of the "live" rock at some LFS that looks as base as all get out for $6.00 a pound making it sounds pretty reasonable. Just thinking. Lee

Andrew, I would love to get one as well. Lee

Welcome!! Did you know the MACNA conference was in Houston this weekend? If new to the area, you might want to go Saturday just for the trade show. http://www.macnaxviii.com/ There is the website for the conference. A bunch of the members will be there. Lee
