Entropy

I am trying to picture 250g in the back of your car and it is not coming together for me. 2000 pounds of water would definately adjust your ride height.

You can find Mrs. Wages online as well. The shipping kills the price though unless you buy a lot of it.

Anyone have a 24 inch T5 or T12 actinic laying around? I am trying to setup my lighting currntly and I just want to see what it will look like before I invest in new bulbs. They can be 1000 year old bulbs, I just want to test fit and get a ball park of how they will look. I only really need one, but two would be great as well. I can also mix and match.

LOL! The only probelm is that the only free time to mess with tanks seems to be at 10:00pm. It took forever to take that tank down Saturday. I don't think we got it over to the house until 7 or so. Good luck with the setup!!! Oh and SOLD....

Sold...

I ended up with two of these units, so one has to go. RK2 with temp probe, ph probe, and the expansion socket for higher amp items. The only problem I have had with it is the backlighting went out so it is kind of hard to read during bright sunlight type times. Digital Aquatics said they could swap it out for $40, but I haven't gotten around to it. The unit is about a year and a half old. $175 I will also sell the expansion socket seperately for $25 if someone wants it. If that happens the price for the RK2 will be $150, but the expansion socket has to sell first.

Wish you would have told me that yesterday. I have two coralvue eballasts sitting in the garage. $20 for either. Ballast only this time though. I think only one is wired up with a plug,

SOLD

I have the reef octopus recirculating 150. It works pretty good IMO. I think my old EV-150 worked better, but this skimmer does almost as good a job while using a much smaller (less power) pump. I just gravity feed it from the drain and the little pump on the side does the rest.

Sold....

I am not at that point yet. I am going to dump them on RC today, I just wanted to give ARC first look.

250w ARO Eballast for sale. Comes with the ballast wired for standard 110v, a batwing reflector, standard mogul socket (attached to reflector) and a 1000 year old 20k bulb if you want it. $50

I have two Koralia 4's for sale. $25 each. I think they are about two years old and work like champs.

I am down sizing my current tank so here goes: Oceanic 135g, reef ready 72L"x18"Wx24"T dual overflow with a single 1.5 inch drain in each overflow. It has some pretty good scratches on the front. Not enough to ruin the view, but enough so that it definately isn't a show tank. The overflows are missing a few teeth but still function fine. It has a glass centerbrace. It comes with a stand and canopy that are currently mocha brown on the front, but redish elsewhere (in my room you can only see the brown). It basically needs to be refinished to look pretty. It has a older three chamber sump (48"Lx16"Wx16"T). I am not selling any of the equipment with it so it is just the tank/stand/canopy/sump. No lights/pumps/heaters/etc. Tank/Sump/Stand/Canopy $250 It will be ready for pick up this weekend.

What kind of lighting are you using?

(a week late) Depth is what I didn't like. The 90g is two feet tall so you have a lot of height (which is good), but you only get 18 inches front to back to aquascape (which is the same problem in my 135g). I like at least as much depth front to back as height and preferrably more which is why I like the 120g (24x24). Then again it is hard to pass up a deal.

I got mine out of the backyard. We have quite a bit of really nice limestone in Round Rock and if you drill the crap out of it with a masonary bit it looks pretty good. Then you just let it color up with coralline and it is hard to tell the difference. You can find huge pieces that are bigger than your tank on the side of the road (or in the middle of the road around my house ). You can burn it with acid to make better look holes and make it look more pourous. I am not sure how economical it is factoring the cost of a drill, bit, and maybe acid, but if you happen to already have the first two I think it is feasible. I have one piece out of the ocean in my tank and it has colored up the rest (at least 100 pounds in my 135g).

I would get the 75g or the 120g. Both have better dimensions than the 90g. I had the 90g and regretted it.

Depends on how cold you let your house get IMO. I use one all the time on my 135 (45g sump, so 180g total). I let the downstairs drop to about 60 before the heat comes on since we are upstairs at night.

I think I have a spare EboJager in the junk box if you ever hang out in the Round Rock area. I think it is a 250w version. I can check tonight when I get home.

I am 99.2% sure it is actually 3x175w halides and 4x65 CF actinics. Cool Breeze was nice enough to point out my typo (65w x2). You could run two Workhorse fives (128 watts) or Workhorse sixs (140 watts). for about $50 + shipping. A IceCap 660 would be great but the price tag is going to hurt. Even used the rarely fall below $100. You could also run two ARO Part Number MR192 eballasts. They are a litte more money though ($35 each). I guess it is going to come down to what you can find and how much wiring you want to do.

I don't trust heaters at all. Too cheap to be reliable. I would run an EboJager if I had to run it stand alone, and I would size it just big enough to do the job (or better yet get two smaller heaters). I have a Won Proheat titanium heater which I really like because it is difficult to break unlike the glass Ebojagers. I wouldn't trust the Won heater stand alone though and only use it because I have a RKII controller. If you don't have a full blown controller I would get one, or at the least a good single stage Ranco controller.

Sounds like 2x55w bulbs (130w total) which is pretty standard for PC's. A Workhorse 5 will do nicely IMO. You can pick one up from www.Reefgeek.com for about $30 I think or maybe locally (or eBay). As long as you are comfortable with wiring it up yourself it is a pretty easy swap. You need a power cord for it, but you can probably splice right into what you have now.
