  1. i have PMd yall my #, call n set-up time if u want
  2. yes, im gonna cut the colony down to the base, its interfearing with other corals. I wish i could take it out completely cause it grows so fast but its melted on a huge rock that doesnt move. what doesnt get bought will go to RCA if Jake wants it.
  3. No, it meant free, advertising strategy. That catches your eye then you look!!!!
  4. Neon green slimmer, FRESH cut sizes will range from 1"-3" or 4"s. $10 a piece. LMK
  5. very nice Jake, bring your camera when u come over. I got my new lense today (28-300MM F3.6-5.6), just playn with it a little and seems pretty nice.
  6. You must be forgetting about my 2x250's I have over my 90g...!! My thought will be to measure PAR ratings and place some SPS frags in similar PAR areas to the MH. That way we can try to level the playing field as much as possible. I thought that you had 2x400MH? When was the switch or was i just mistaken? Interesting to see what happens, i had some donor frags if needed. Was contemplating switching to 250w MH to save energy and heat. Just dont know.
  7. wondering how long the economy is going to last B4 the dollar isnt the world currency of choice?

  8. i gotcha covered, LMK how much u wanna spend and i can accomidate within reason. Live Aquaria doesnt have any in stock either but i can cut u a piece a little bigger than this picture. They are wanting 79.99/plus shipping. LMK PM me if interested the 2nd pic is a pic of my colors in tank.
  9. i sent a pic to Speedway Motors and they found it with there vendor, they had to print it and it took a week more to get but i wasnt in a hurry so no biggie, Thank you for the compliment, im tying to be the best father i can, this is my 1st go around so....
  10. i didnt spray the base and clear, but was in the booth during the process, its been 6yrs since ive painted and didnt wanna mess it up. I put probably 20-30hrs of body work and prep work into it and realy wanted it to turn out nice. WARRANTY...no, but it did cost a pretty penny. And the answer to the other question "is he gonna ride it" YES, i will be a little heart broken at the sight of the 1st scratch but its a toy that i gave to him so that he could enjoy a REAL toy from the day. I want nothing more than him to play and have fun and my wife and I be able to take pictures of him doing it. Thank you all for looking.
  11. Finally got the decal in today and they defntly finished the project. Now it all my boys, bring on the damage....LOL
  12. +1 for what Robb said, Thats where most ppl go wrong. I have a Mag9 on the main return with a ball valve back down about 1/2-3/4 way and a Mag12 running to chiller and back to tank wide open (but it has about 13' of head) so i use the Mag9 to adjust the flow threw the sump. Contact time for the FUGE and SKIMMER is pertinant. Looking like its coming together well.
  13. its all in what u like, reeflux or xm. those are the only 1's ive tryd
  14. I have an email to SPEEWAY asking them if they sell the decal, i have looked on there site but cant find one that matches. If they have it i will be buying it to make it complete. @FISHYPETS-not that much but its over the $600 mark. They sell NEW ones for around $275 but then its not an old one, i wanted to take an old toy and fix it then give it to him as part of history. If that makes sense. You just dont see kids anymore playing like they used to. Maybe this will start a trend and get kids outta the house and off the game console. JK
  15. I guess that i wil start from the beginning, about a month ago i bought a late 50's earlie 60's Murray Fire Chief push pedal car. To say the least it was VERY rough. 1st came the dis-assembly, 2nd came the sandblasting, 3rd came primer. Then i straightened out the metal and welded the area needed that were cracked due to wear and tear. Body work was in order next. After that was the 1st coats of primer surfacer to level all the bodywork out. Then the teadious task of blocking it the 1st time, WOW. The second and final coats of primer before paint were then added. Back to blocking it again for paint. The rest was the tipical paint procedures of applying sealer,basecoats, and clear. FINALLY reassembly, and for this i relyed on EBAY and SPEEDWAY Motors for all the original MURRAY parts i could find. I still have to add the string that rings the bell, but thats easy. After a month or so here it is: The last picture is what it looked like when i got it but was in alot worse shape than this one. Thank you to all who enjoy Fatherhood as i do, I brought it home yesterday after work and my son was all smiles EAR to EAR!!!

  17. thnk u all, ive been cleaning up coraline. gonna post another video soon with a glass free of coraline. it makes the colors stand out so much better
  18. just NOT red enough, to orange 4 me.
  19. i thnk this is a lesson we have all learned, well those of us who keep SPS. Your gonna loose a frag inevitably at some time. I just did and have no reason to explain it but u cant win them all. It wasnt a realy pretty color red anyways so no big loss.
  20. check the price out on this site. I have ordered a few pumps from them and u CANT beat there price or customer service. Scroll down about half way tothe Pondmaster Mag pumps http://www.aquatictech.com/pumps.html
  21. a lttl YES, i would shoot for 1.024-1.026. Make sure and calibratate your refractometer with 100% pure RODI water, or go to the store and get a bottle of distilled water. Sometime they are off.
  22. Here is a video i took of my tank tonight, its in HD but the camera isnt realy high quality so its not perfect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuJLlZUtx-w
  23. Thought that id see what yall think about some growth after 1.5 months give or take a few days. The dates are on the pics. Pretty excited to see this one get big.
