I am selling all of my MH systems off. Currently have: 3 Lumatek Bright reflectors (SOLD) 2 Sunlight Supply 400w Ballasts (AVAILABLE) 1 IceCap 400w Ballast (SOLD) 2 ea/ Hamilton 14k socket bulbs (1yr old) (SOLD) 2/ea Radium 20k socket bulbs (1yr old) (SOLD) Dave

I have a Deltec AP 851 for sale. It's part of my 225 gallon setup. Has not been used in over a year. Price 'em ....make me an offer? Dave

I have a ton of this in my Fuge. Great for filtering. It's loaded with Red Algae that you can feed to your Tangs and lots of pods living in it! I would like some LR rubble or something in trade but if you don't have it, that's cool too. Also looking for an Urchin(not Long Spine). Dave

Oh Crap, you are right around the corner...literally! I'm at 303 River Ridge Dr.

No problem. I'm in Gtown anyway. I'll be home Sunday afternoon if you'd like to come see it? It could use a brillo pad rub down as it has some light rust from being outside and a slightly bent leg but it can be straightened out and balanced.

I think what I may do is buy a ton of clams...very small ones and raise them for people in the area at very reduced rates.

Do you have a pickup? It fits in the back easily, that's how I got it from my restaurant to home. I can help you if not?

TTT...one time. Put all of your aquarium equipment in one place!

I have lots of Cheato, LR, and sand in my sump/fuge. I even have corals and sponges in there. Lots of pods on their own. What I don't have is a protein skimmer. So, everything washes over the ATS and down into the sump. What I feed the fish/inverts eventually filters through the sump.

Mussels.....good idea! Any thing that filter feeds is good for the water quality. I may just go to the market and get 2 lbs of live mussels!

Too bad you can't get like a quart of live pods? Ah, just found this: Copapods Maybe a bunch of clams? Where can you get clams cheap? How about live Mysis?

Don, who did you go through for your AGE pricing?

I was thinking of adding something cool to my Sump in the Fuge section;It's about 50+ gallons. I was thinking this is a good spot for a really cool crab or Lobster or Mantis Shirmp (Although, I doubt it would be easy to view a mantis shrimp in there?). I only have top-down viewing in my sump. Renman's Blog Any Thoughts?

Lots to determine here and that's a good question Chris. If I don't do a bowfront the tank on one wall would limit me to 30" in width. This brings the tank down to 785.4 gallons. Placing it as a peninsula, I could go as wide as 36" making it a 942.5 gallon. Ha ha....100 gallon water changes (10%)! Wonder what Kingfish is charging for this?

This is all hypothetical at this point. We have been looking at moving and are interested in a new home. One plan that we like will require me to sell (not really, I just want something bigger!)my current 225 gallon with external overflow. The potential new home has a wall that I would like to incorporate a new tank with Sun-Tunnel Lighting, and an ATS. Supplemented by Actinic lighting. This new behemoth will be a "Bowfront" measuring 144"L x 30"W x 40"D x 42" Max Width (bow included). It calculates out to 948.5 gallons, 5478 sq inches of surface area, and "Main Content Tank Weight in pounds = 8121.3. I'm not sure yet what thickness of glass will need to be used and that will effect the interior volume. If this is cost ineffective, then there is another wall in the same room that will allow me to use a standard "rectangular" shape with a "peninsula" look. Of course it will be rockin waves and only using EXTERNAL pumps for water movement. No more powerheads! The other cool thing is, this room in the house will still allow me to drill into the garage and house everything (sump, ATS, pumps, chiller....)there just as I am now! Just preliminary for now....watch this space...! Dave

Ah, perhaps some pics of placement of your sump would be helpful? I'm not sure why you are drilling anything? Do you have an overflow? Is it internal or external? Is the sump located under the main tank or someplace else? Feel free to look at my setup on my blog (or come up if you like) Regards, Dave

$500...final ????

TTT Anyone? $300 for 3 MH Ballasts & Bulbs at 400w and wiring harnesses!

My pleasure, and thank you. Good meeting you. Speaking of meeting...I need to host another meeting here???? Dave

Kenya tree yes, waving hand? Not sure? If blue, then yes. Just come on over!

I have some branching Monti or some Digi if you like? Also have some Devil's Hand Leathers? Dave email: [email protected] 303 River Ridge Dr. Georgetown 78628

Mine did that once...and walked right into my Tunze Stream! DEAD. I'm getting rid of all of my powerheads that are open to this happening again in favor of pumps.

Very nice...Are you interested in trade for anything? We'll work out the meeting details.

My pleasure, good meeting you!

I have a ton!
