Just wanted to share some from tonight. I need to re aquascape in a bad way but Im lazy.

Feel free to comment.

did you find a trade yet

Nope, whatcha got?

Hello folks, I have an old Dr. Pepper storage barrel that I have been using as a rodi storage container. It is clean and is a big blue 55 g. barrel. It has a hole in the top so that you can drop your pump in. Asking $40.00 for it.

Be sure to check for nitrate and ammonia! Hopefully your tank is big enough to withstand the oops....Good Luck!

Sending PM on 30L

Looking for an overflow that can handle 600 gph.

I have two to chose from. LMK. I am in Kyle TX and I get off work Sat. and Sun. at about 7:45 if you want to meet after that.

SOLD...dang, that was quick!

I am posting this for my Father in Law. He is the second owner (I believe) of a very well maintained 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS. The truck is white in color, has the crew cab option with the third door, diamond plated truck box, and rubberized bed liner. All maintenance has been performed by Chevrolet and my father in law is a light footed driver. The truck runs crisp and smooth and is the Vortec 5.3 (105k+/- miles) and oddly enough doesn't get too bad of gas mileage (I attribute this to the truck being in prime condition. The truck is equipped with the heavy duty towing transmission as long with the rest of the towing package equipment. Chrome exhaust tip, CD player, power everything, cruise control, power seats and rear split folding bench. Cloth interior. (nicely kept, never smoked in)

Bads (Accounted for in asking price):

Cracked windshield. New windshields for this truck can be as cheap as $50.00 up to about $150.00 Typical "I watched the crack run across the windshield" winter crack.

A/C needs recharged. Compressor is in good condition but the o-rings have let go. New o-rings at AutoZone $8.00 + $30.00 re-charge kit = $38.00 fix.

Minor but typical "truck" dents. Invisible unless you are right on the dents or are looking for them.

KBB Private party value is as follows taking into account the a/c doesn't work right now.

Condition Value

Excellent

$8,615

Good

$7,925

Fair

$7,030

We are asking $6,900.00 O.B.O. CASH. Please call if SINCERELY INTERESTED and I can answer questions you might have or to set up a test drive. (Must be able to provide CURRENT Insurance information and valid Texas Drivers Liscence)

LEAVE A MESSAGE OR I WILL NOT CALL YOU BACK. Be considerate when calling and if I can't answer a call when you call I will call you back when I get a chance....If you leave a message.

Welcome Marc. Hows it going up there.

Alrighty folks, I am in need of an old fashioned 30 long. I currently have a 29 gallon that I am using for my sump but it is too tall for the inside of my stand. I am going to be re-doing my whole set up here over the next couple of months and this is the first step.

It does not have to be "pretty" but it MUST be water tight. Black trim would be best.

Get an AquaClear h.o.b. filter and get one of the ice probes. The AquaClear brand is a bit thicker front to back than the others and might give you the room you would need for the IceProbe. I dont even monitor my temparature but I keep my house at 77* at all times and everything in my tank seems quite happy....that reminds me to get a thermometer;)

Where is Franklin? Im very interested in the skunk clowns....all of them.I am in Kyle.

Pending deal with GKarshens. Will update if the need arises.

Kris

Wow, thanks for the responses. I think this would be a GREAT topic for discussion at a meeting.

Willow, so you just leave it out in the SUN? wow. Please tell us YOUR version of home brewing phyto.

TIA

Folks, threads like these encourage new members. Club cooperation is a great thing. Kudos!

Hello folks,Tonight I was bored and snapped some shots. I am starting to venture into some of the manual settings on my Nikon D40 and so Im asking for your thoughts on how some of these turned out. Please be kind.

Does anyone in this club make their own phyto? If so, how did you start your culture? Did you find it to be more trouble than it's worth?

TIA,

Kris

PM replied to. IGKarshens, I dont do SPS in this tank. I appreciate the offer but I have to decline at this time.

I still have this. Anyone? Will consider trades for corals and fish and even other equipment as well.

Does anyone have any red or purple mushrooms that they could spare? I have some things to swap if you do. LMK

Kris

I have a real pretty and very interesting Sea Apple for trade or sale. I have had it for about 6 months and it doesnt move much at all. It is a very striking pinkish/red and yellow color and it is awesome to watch feed. I dont know quite what I want for this but maybe some mushrooms or something.

This animal is very healthy and requires an established reef tank and a reef keeper who watches their water quality regularly. I will try to take a good pic of it but it is about 4" long and about 1" thick. A real interesting addition!

I think they offered me 100.00 or the book and since I had studied the particular fish for so long, I wanted a signed copy to show my children and grandchildren one day that I was a true fish dork...LOL. Congrats and which publication if you can say?

This is the book I am talking about

Yes, I have a six line and it's as nice as it can be. It just goes about it's business swimming in and out of the little caves and looking for food. The only thing it does that is bothersome is swim up through the holes into my mini-fuge (shower caddy) and stir up the chaeto, looking for pods I guess, but it causes a small mess.

As for the coral beauty, it's even more docile than the six line. But I don't really have anything for it to nip at yet. I have no polyps and my zoas are still tiny frags.

Ah, I thought you were abbreviating "Copper Band" butterfly. Sorry for the confusion.

Some photos of mine were published in "The Encyclopedia of Exotic Tropical Fishes for Freshwater" by Axelrod and Scott a couple years ago. I received a signed copy of the book thanking me for my contributions to the book but that was all.

pics as promised. I must say that the pics are bad but these darn 6 lines aint slow...lol

Are wrasses schooling fish? Mine is best buddies with my coral beauty. The wrasse was the first one to welcome the CB to the tank, and they hang out together all the time. sometimes they'll see each other from far away and quickly swim to together and circle around each other and kind of rub up against each other and then swim off together. I've been wondering what was up with that.

Is this a 6 line you are talking about? If so, no they are not normally "schooling" fish but they aren't normally anemone fish either so what do I know. Six lines are notoriously pugnacious when it comes to other fish, sometimes MUCH larger than themselves but I believe that each species has its exceptions. Curious, are you successful at keeping the CBB without it nipping at polyps or zoas? Again, a hit or miss type scenario.

So, I glanced over at my tank while getting ready to head out today and I noticed that my small six line wrasse is playing in my large RBTA with my percula clown fish. I have been doing this for over 7 years and have never even heard of such a thing. I will try to snap a shot later on if I have time. Anybody ever heard of such a thing?? he seems to do this a lot now and I am quite sure that he sees the anemone as his home.

Anyway, just wanted to share this weird sight.
