well if i remember, ill deffenantly be there.

i cant read the clown/anemone map.

would someone be willing to take my phone # and call me on the morning of the 10th to remind me about the meeting. i WILL forget as evidence of the last meeting, and i really want to make it! im serious, pm me if youll actually call me ......

gosh dangit dude.... everbody is at the meeting right now, and i completely forgot about it! i was sitting there reading electrobs k.i.s.s. 40 breeder thread on RC, and in the thread he posts "its saturdday and im going to my first meeting today" then all of the sudden my heart jumped as i realized that it IS saturday, and its already 3:00pm.... son of a gun! i recently washed out of the austin fire departments hiring proccess, and for some reason i cant think straight anymore... i was really looking forward to going today.

ther's a fee to join the club and attend meeting right?

WOO HOO!!! congrats!! and great tank by the way

do i have to be a male humpback boxfish??? couldnt i be a female inverted-back triangle-fish?

hey, thanks for all the kind words sean, and thanks for the extras! it was really nice to meet you! enjoy the stand, it should be able to hold anything you want to put on it! and im pretty sure im going to keep the rolex. so the stand is gone, but the x-box is still up for grabs if anybody is interested?

i have a custom built stand that i had made for a corian tank i built, but the corian tank broke. at that point i was going to custom build an acrylic tank, but ran into financial troubles when trying to buy the tools. long story short, i have no use for the stand anymore, and its a nice stand! brand new, never been used, made from standard framing 2x4's, birch ply, crema bordaux granite, and stained the color golden oak... all the outside of the stand is stained gloden oak, all the inside has been nicley caulked, and painted/sealed with white kilz. the top of the stand is crema bordeaux granite from africa. and the entire front and left side panels are removable for easy access. the stand cost roughly $200.-$250. for all the materials, and the granite alone is worth $250. all the dimentions of the stand are as follows: the stands outter dimentions- 30.5" width, 23" depth, 32" heighth. the interior dimentions- 26" width, 19" depth, 26.25" heighth. the granite top dimentions- 27.5" width, 21.25" depth. the front door opening dimentions- 22" width, 26.25" heighth. the left door opening dimentions- 12" width, 26.25 heighth. there is no back to the stand so if you have an external or hang on back overflow box, you can run plumbing right through the back without having to drill anything. if you plan on putting a reef ready tank, or tank with an internal overflow box on the stand, ide be happy to drill the holes needed in the granite so you can pass your pipes through the top. i will not charge you to drill the holes. although, if you didnt like the granite, it is removable. the largest tank foot print that this stand will accept is the same size as the granite, (27.5"x21.25") or smaller... here is the build thread of the stand on RC http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.p...hreadid=1282850 i also have an old x-box game system that i dont want. it comes with 1 controller, 1 video game, and all the cables to hook it up. there are a few things that i have in mind for a trade. these are some of the things i need... i need a nice pump. pan world, gen x, iwaki, or the like, with an output of at least 1000gph. an auto top off unit. a ph controller. an om squirt or similar current switching device. im a fan of controllers..... i dont know, just make me an offer! i wont take any live stock. no corals or fish! although i might take some live rock?

greenish slimy huh... sounds like cyano bacteria. is it a disgusting mat that has bubbles in it, or is it green slimy leaves?

i would agree with aaron. did that algea grow while the rocks were in your tank, or did the rocks come with the algae? the first type of algae that should be seen in a newly set up tank is diatoms. diatoms are not green though, they are brown. what you can do to help creat a nitrogen cycle in your new tank is throw a cocktail shrimp in. when the dead shrimp starts to decompose, its going to feed the bacteria needed to establish the tank. from there the bacteria will proliferate to a level that will sustain the biological filtration process. either way you look at it, its still going to take inbetween 2-4 weeks untill you will be able to safley add anything into your new tank. at that point you can add your clean up crew.

i bought an SCWD because im poor but im workin' on an om squirt though

geez! who knew the ocean contained almost every element on the periodic table? thats insane!

how old is the pump?

how much you want for the om squirt?

by the way, i wrote ph monitor, i meantt ph controller....

hold onto that top off switch for a little bit. let me see what i can dig up as far as cash... i might be able to afford it next weekend?

im trying to set up my 75g and i need a calcium reactor w/co2 tank and regulater, a high volume pump of 1000+ gph, om squirt or similar device, ph monitor, phosban reactor, tds meter, refractometer, and an auto top off unit.

well if the sale falls through, i might be interested. im just worried it will be more than i need for my 75g system...

what would i need to get this thing running, in the condition your selling it in? fill the c02 tank, and add media? every thing else is there?

oh my god! i know what company ill never use for a custom tank!

i would agree, starfire is that way to, at least for the viewing panes.... if you can afford it

i had a 1.5" purple psuedochromis that i watched get eaten by 2 hermit crabs (from my CUC) in easily under 2 hours! the fish had gotten stuck in a hole in a rock while i was cleaning. i looked everywhere for the fish and couldnt find it. then i saw 2 hermits rummaging around on a rock, and then realized that they were eating my fish, starting with the head that was sticking out of the rock... what sucks is that i know that fish was alive when they started eating it, because it all happend very quikly.
