  1. Here is a link to look at what this chalice will look like when grown out. YUMMY... http://www.zoaid.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=7383
  2. duncans still available...one head was having a stinging war with another coral, but managed to survive. FIRST $20 gets it!!! Will only hold with Paypal payment.
  3. These frags have been cut and are bigger!!! Most of them are about 2" plus, and some have up to 4 eyes. I brought back a few extra from SA. These should be ready to go Wednesday or Thursday
  4. I still have 3 individual polyps
  5. Sounds good.I have other acans as well, I just wasn't able to get good pics. Let me know when you can pick up...I really need the space.
  6. Need to make room on my sandbed. As much as I hate to...I need to sell some of my larger items. Will hold with Paypal payment. Best way to reach me today is by phone. 512-934-4974 All Sold
  7. Brooks...They would go perfect with those acans of yours! Don't hold back. You know you want a frag. Cyrus...got you down.
  8. My friend is trimming her Psychedelic chalice as it's getting too big for her tank. It's a beautiful chalice and has many colors to it including pink, purples, blues, reds etc... She is gonna be making 1" x 1" + frags. Will hold with paypal payment. She will deliver frags to me and pick up will be at my house. You can also see it at coralpedia.com Here are a couple of pics. One of it is close up (not sure the lighting specifics on this one) and the other is in her tank. She is asking $50 per frag. All frags will need to heal before picking it up.
  9. Just an FYI to everyone, if you have dead bolts make sure that the screws that hold the stike plate are LONG. You want those screws to get as far into the frame as possible. Wilco, where I work, and like many other departments offer a free security audit of your house. They provide excellent tips and a lot of insurance companies offer a discount on your homeowners insurance. For those of you that are serviced by the Williamson County Sheriff's Office should call 512-943-1300 and ask to speak to a deputy in the DARE department. The last time I checked they were still doing this. Lights are the best prevention, as well as knowing your neighbors and their habbits. As many of you know, that doesn't always prevent crime but it does a lot more than you may think in stopping it from happening in the 1st place. Digital camera systems have come a very long way. They have a much sharper image and are very affordable. Fry's and ebay offer inexpensive systems. State law does allow deadly force to protect yourself and/ or your property. What you need to consider is if what they are doing is worth the end result. Something that you must live with for the rest of your life. If it is to protect yourself or someone else, I believe it is a no brainer. Property can always be replaced (and I know a lot of folks including other cops that would argue this with me) Also consider some people simply do not have the ability to follow through even though they swear they could. I know this is an extreme example but since protecting yourself is really what this boils down to I thought I would take this from a-z. Chris, I read about all of this on the status updates and I understand where you are coming from in that a lot of people believe this too. However, when it comes down to it and you are put into the position of using deadly force because you believe that by not acting in such a way, it would end in substantial injury or death to you or someone you are protecting, do you really want to hit a leg just so they can still shoot at you. We receive a substantial amount of firearms training every year as well as tatical training. We are never trained to shoot to hurt. You want to completely stop the agression. Remember, they put themselves in this situation. Plus, it only takes a second for someone to advance towards you from across the room. Try seeing how fast you can run across the room. Most of that time, you will spend it processing the information of what is hapening. Hopefully you will have time to actually react properly. Take this from someone who has had a gun pointed at his head. Anyway, sorry to have taken so much time on explaining this but I really do care about about our ARC family.
  10. Never seen one before. That is one awesome looking sand sifter. I want one too!
  11. It's that box shaped part that has 4 ports in it. http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/store/auto-shut-off-valve.html
  12. I got the following from BRS. It is for a auto shut off valve. "Automatic shut off valves are used with float valves or pressurized tanks to shut off an RO unit. It utilizes the back pressure created by the float valve or pressurized tank to shut off the water supply to the membrane. Without an automatic shut off valve waste water would continue to run out after the float valve is activated or tank becomes full." I have one on my system. Will this work for what caferacermike was talking about? If so, I just basically need some sort of shut off valve (i.e. float valve)...correct?
  13. I am looking for an ATO. It's going from the RO/DI system to our barrel. The ATO we have isn't for this kind of use. Can anyone recommend a decent ATO that will shut off the water coming from the ro/di line into the barrel? Thanks...Chad
  14. RO/DI has been running less than 24 hours and we have already had our 1st flood.

  18. I have 2 T5 vho retro units for sale. The 1st is a 36" and the other is a 48". The 48" was new when we installed it in our tank less than a year ago. Here is the link to the 48" kit http://www.helloligh...ROD&ProdID=1369 The 36" is at least a few years old and comes with a work horse ballast. Both come with reflectors, wiring harnesses, end caps, ballast and mounts. As a matter a fact, you can have the wood strip that they are mounted to. To sweeten the pot, I'll include the following bulbs: for the 48": Current 54W actinic - Giesemann pure actinic 54W - Giesemann 54W actinic plus - Power Glo 54W for the 36": Current actinic 39W- Giesemann pure actinic 39W - ATI pro color 39W - and if I can find them 2 URI daylight lamps All bulbs are good and are not in need of replacement. 48 inch is $75 36 inch is $55
