      There is this new invention called shipping. You can try it out when you buy the rails..

      Ebay is working although it's not the Bosch brand.

  10. Anyone got, or know of, a nice, cheap 6ft long (preferably 180) tank/stand for sale?

      Still looking. All the livestock is in tubs and, so far, doing fine.

    3. FarmerTy

      FarmerTy

      Can we get a FTS? Full tub shot? At least you got an excuse for an upgrade now!

  11. May the Fourth be with you! And on that note, my Jedi Mind Trick (from Clint no less) that I was worried was gone started showing polyps again!

    1. fishypets

      fishypets

      I think I forgot to charge you for that frag. When can I come collect?

    2. Robb in Austin

      Robb in Austin

      Heh. Not much to look at now but once it comes all the way back and you want a frag...

  12. My pistol shrimp and high finned goby paired up after being in the tank together for 3-4 weeks! And in the front of the tank!!

      Of course, since I bragged, they moved to the back. Still got a pic though.

      Mine seem to have a vast network of tunnels and move front, back, side to side constantly. I think it's neat.

  13. I need a Windows expert. PM me if you are.

      Home Depot is very helpful with those kind of installs/repairs!

  14. Anyone using those Cree light bulbs? Thoughts?

      They're good. Turn on instantly and the color options are great. I have not used them on a dimmer but wouldn't even consider using CFL's again.

    3. Robb in Austin

      Robb in Austin

      Thanks. Did you get the 2700 or 5000K one?

    4. jestep

      jestep

      We did 5000K's, as we thought the 2700's were just too warm. I know the 2700 is closer to a normal incandescent if you prefer that color. Home depot had a demo display setup at one time, not sure if they still have them but there's a pretty big difference in color.

  15. Is Ty having a Black Friday sale tomorrow?

      I heard that he has trained his corals to grow in the shape of his business card and is going to be giving them away.

      Which Pluckers? And before or after RCA?

  17. Anyone have a .110 female spade connector I could buy?

    1. jestep

      jestep

      Radioshack, home depot, or lowes has them. The lowes shielded ones are some weird proprietary size though.

    2. Robb in Austin

      Robb in Austin

      Forgot about Radioshack. Thanks, looks like they have it. HD didn't.

  18. Water change done on office tank. Let's see if the 6 line dies this time? I hope not.

      My corals love them! I always swore I would never go LED, but I had to fall back on one when smoke got out of one of the halides. I am seeing some very nice growth under them. And you can't beat them for the price. I know folks who are running Sol's who have dumped them for the reefbreeders fixtures because they got better growth.

      I think I will try one over the frag tank I am building. Its 36x24 so it should work perfect.

    4. Sherita

      Sherita

      I'm running two over my 5' frag tank full of zoas and chalices. And they are crazy for it. Picking up two more next weekend for another tank, and I've already got a single for the new wrasse tank.

  24. Clarki eggs hatching! Scooped some up and dropped in fuge.

  25. Is it me or did we loose a few days of stuff?
