  1. I have been twice. To Houston and then Atlanta. The Houston one was outstanding! Atlanta would have been a big let down if not for the Aquarium. If it is in Dallas I would definitely go. I don't know what ticket prices are these days, but it is usually significantly cheaper if you buy them when they are first released.

  2. An update for all of you. I am still living with just the Beta. He has been named Stephen by the way. I have started to miss the smell of saltwater lately. However, work is unsure and I can't afford to get back in yet. So all of you shooting for 2012 dates keep your eyes open!

    I hope everyone is doing well!

  3. This sump was built by Brian Carlisle at Kingfish. It is built in 2 sections for easier install removal in a stand. One side has the return/fuge section (which has rock rubble in it) and the other is the skimmer/overflow area. Baffles are built into the area that bulkheads the 2 together. It worked beautifully on my old 125g. It didn't fit under the stand on the latest tank so that is why it is separate. The dimensions are 48" long x 14" front to back x 17" tall. The actual usable volume is about 30g. It used to have a tray for a filter sock, but I routed it out to give room for a bigger skimmer. The skimmer section will fit a skimmer with a footprint up to 13" x 18.5". I will also include 2 5g jugs. Please call me at 512-657-5472 $50

  4. Here are the dimensions of the tank: 36 w x 30 d x 18 h

    To all: If you are really interested please call me at 512-657-5472 I have a hard time getting to PMs sometimes. I have had a lot of interest already so if you are serious you might want to hurry.

  5. I have decided to leave the hobby for a while. Too many sticks in the fire. So I am hoping to sell this as a complete system. It is an 84 gallon acrylic cube tank with a custom built stand/canopy. It has a few very minor surface scratches that could easily be buffed out, but they are not noticeable unless you look for them. The ballast just went out 2 days ago on the 250w MH. I will be looking for a replacement today. It also has 2 x 24" T5 actinics driven by an Icecap 660. It comes with a Reef Keeper 2 controller. It has an ASM G2 skimmer with the gate valve mod. It also has a full size Tunze Wave box. It creates about a 2 - 3 inch wave in the tank. A Jebo titanium heater. The light is a luminarc mini with a Hamilton 14k bulb that is about 8 months old. There is about 75 - 80 lbs of live rock in the tank and I have about the same amount that has been sitting in saltwater in a Brute for about a year. I will also include 2 brute trash cans with lids and one dolly. The sump is just a heavy duty rubbermaid, but I have had no micro bubbles even without baffles. The return is an Eheim 1262. There are also 2 x 2 Little Fishies reactors. I have magnetic scrappers as well as a 12" scrapper with acrylic blade. I have Elos test kits. There is a 150 gallon a day RO/DI with a 30 gallon reservoir with an auto top-off system using an aqualifter pump. I also have a spare RO filter that has never been used. I also have a ton of spare pumps, parts, hoses, and all kinds of stuff.

    The livestock includes:

    2 ORA True Percs

    1 Mystery Wrasse that is about 4 inches. He has been kept by me for about 2.5 years. A super healthy and beautiful fish! Worth about $150 on his own.

    1 Green Bubble Tip Anemone

    2 Large Palau Nepthea leathers

    2 small Acan colonies. 1 Green and Purple and 1 Rainbow.

    A couple small frags not even worth mentioning.

    2 Serpent Stars

    1 Electric Blue Hermit

    Many different snails and hermits for a CUC

    Going to keep this as an all in one sale for 2 weeks. Please don't ask about parting stuff out until I post that I am willing to do that. I am asking a steal of a price at $1000 for everything. I know I could get a lot more parting it out, but I would rather not have to.

    Please call me for info: 512-657-5472

    This is a really old photo, but shows the set-up pretty well
