Would I be able to get 6,7, and 10?

That is if I can convince Ty to help with shipping them to me... I will also pay for the shipping.

I see 3 frags I want.... Think we could work something out with @FarmerTy to get the frags to me?

how much for the Salinity probe and module to run it only?

Hey everyone, Looking to see if anyone has frags and is willing to ship to me in Orlando. Looking to start getting frags into QT so that they can get ready to get into the tank once it is done it is done with its cycle (im doing a 3 month cycle just cause). @FarmerTy Per your instructions I have gotten some local frags and they have been in my QT for a month and still alive.

I got 2 icecap 3k gyre pumps and placed them on opposite sides of the tank and got them working to create random chaotic flow. I will say I am very please with the lack of noise and the amount of water they are pushing around. Also pleased to report that my QT tank has kept a small birds nest colony and this gorgeous frag alive. The second pic is of the birds nest while I was playing with the polyplabs coral view lens for smartphones.

Hi, let me try to sell the set first if I can’t sell it in a couple weeks I will let you know. Here is the dowsing pump, one is pending for pickup  

Ok, let me know how it goes cause I would be interested in the probe pm2 module to run it. I'm also definitely thinking about the dosing pump. Trying to figure out if I'm going to do CaRx or 3/4 part.

would you be willing to part out the Salinity probe and PM2 module for it for me?

Would also like pics of the dosing pumps

Been a while since I got an update in the tank so here it is. I got the tank plumbed and started the cycle. I am using a RS-300 sump and a 20G long for a refugium. 

Cyano can be brown as well as red and orange... not 100% sure if this is cyano based on the substrate picture... but the glass and rock make me think cyano. 

Ok so update on the build so far and QT. Both the frag and the fish are still alive and doing great. I got sand (carabsea special grade) and the most salt (Redsea blue bucket) I have ever purchased at one time. 

Got a tester frag in my QT tank along with a yellow tail chromis who didn't want his picture taken

I got a quarantine tank set up... DT is still in the process of being put together 

Put a tester acro frag in there. If it does fine, we can chat about getting an order ready for you bud.

Cool

Hey Vernon! Of course! Is your tank stable from the move already?

Was our thoughts on it too... I will add that a 180gallon tank with about 40-45 gallons of water in it is heavy cause (though some trial and error) a couple of times had to lift the whole system to pull the shims out and start over. Even with the weight the carpet and foam was causing some issues and had to stack some shims to level the tank.... two guesses who was the one picking up the heavy beast and who pulled the shims out.

Thanks to the advice I recieved and the help from one of the reef club members around here, we got the tank just about as level as humanly possible. I know its probably hard to tell but that is 5 different points on the tank.

Per a recommendation of one of the Reef Club members that is here in Orlando... I am putting some water in the tank to make it settle a little bit into the carpet. I'm going to put about 4-5 inches of water (35-40 gal).

Ok not a problem. Lots of beautiful corals you got there.

I would like #s 5, 17, 57 once my tank is set up and would help pay for shipping them to me.

I am in need of some help, if someone is able to video chat with me who has any knowledge of shimming a tank it would be appreciated. I have shimed things before but the tank seems to be a different beast

Ok so with the help of the club I got the tank off my table and onto the stand. On that note I have a small issue and could use some advice on how to fix it. It seems that the tank is very slightly off level.... not sure if I should shim it or if there is a better option to do to get this thing level. What do y'all think?

I finished painting the back black and decided to cut square holes instead... though since apparently I couldn't find the jigsaw I used a hole saw and sandpaper to do it.

Can't wait to start getting things in the tank. Going to be great. 

Great to be back, was sad to disassemble the tank in Texas but glad to start this tank build.
