I'd be glad to split 100 Ceriths with you.

Bill

Maybe this is something else but I thought you were suppose to use styrofoam for something like that. Get a big piece like they use for insulation 3/4-1" thick, cut it the size of your tank, paint edges if desired, and put the tank on the styrofoam.

Bill

I want in on this one. If anyone from the LCP area is also ordering let's go together on shipping.

Thanks

Bill

what about RODI?

If you are talking about the RODI unit itself, I got my BRS unit off ebay (from BRS) and saved about 20%. However, then I turned around and decided I wanted the filter canisters for chloramines and gave most of those savings back. The components do get a discount. Most of the individual items get between 10 and 20% off. It seems oftentimes the price they are quoting right now as "As low as" is what we usually get, once the GB go in effect.

Bill

That really sucks Cindy. I have only had one instance that was even the least bit 'shady' since we have live here, but nothing like that. Just make sure that guy runs off to the east or west and not the south

Bill

I removed all the sold stuff (which is a lot, thank you) and have lowered prices on many of the things left.

Bill

Thanks for checking Derek but Scott is scheduled to come this weekend to get the rest of the Euphylia I am selling. I am sure he will come.

Bill

I will try to snag some pix of the euphylia's. I turn my light on very late so they are still pumping up.

I have lowered prices. I still could provide a few pics. Will try to do that soon, but lights are again off now. Thanks

9) 1- Green Stripe Watermelon Shrom Rock - 8-12 shrooms of various sizes, color not great right now - 5

10) 1 - Brown Hairy shrooms rock - 4 polyps + a painted shroom. I think these will get large, but only silver dollar size now - 10

10a) 1 Maroon Shroom Rock - only has 2 or 3 adults, but must be 8-10 babies, unique to me - 10

11) Giant Cinnamon Palys - Most polyps still growing out, but still at least quarter size - These get humongous - 3 polyps - 15, 3 w/ baby 20, 2 polyps only but largest size 15

12 ) I have a number of eye or rah or blow pops 2-10 depending on frag $1/polyp; demon eyes 4-10 polyps (orangish center, yellow shirt) $1 polyp:

13) - several frags with 3-10 polyps of Purple Death - Possibly just the lighting but mine look more maroonish under my light. However the mother sold for $100 for 15 polyps and I bought my original 1 for $10 . WHEN I post pics I will be very surprised if it captures the true color. - selling for $2/polyp

15) Yellow Polyps - The common palys with long lashes - many polyps (25+) - $10;

I also have a few button palys, some anthelia, and xenia that will be little or nothing (probably nothing) with purchase.

I live very close to the Lowe's in Leander, 1913 S. West Dr. I will be in and out all weekend. 784-4475

Bill

I'm curious why you are switching, please.

Bill

Pending to Josh.

I've got the Spring Cleaning bug a little late, so there will likely be more stuff coming.

I have two of these bank of 4, complete with converter. They really move the air, but definitely are not whisper quiet.

Asking $25 each or both for $40. Marine Depot

Bill - 784-4475

Gone

I have a 75 gallon canopy to give away. It would need to be painted, I suspect and there are too big holes in the right side where I had cut openings for 110mm fans.

I can post pics later if there is any interest. 784-4475 if you want to see/get it today. I'm working outside.

Like most of you probably I also have some 5 gallon buckets to give away (3-6, have to look). Most are salt bucket, some with lids.

Bill

ok i need to clear some space. just moved and live out of town now

Hey Quinton

Where have you moved to? Heck seems like just a few months ago you were moving in up the street. I assume the tank move went a little smoother this time:)

Bill

I'm glad y'all met numbers. I'm gonna have to bow out.

Yes, I have noticed that just giving us a name to enter or the group buy, is the biggest contribution. It seems, after 'buddy shipping' we must only send in 3-5 orders per group order.

I would like to piggy back your order kind sir.

I just want 2 of these Catalytic Activated Carbon please.

I imagine they will be $8.00 each + my part of the postage.

Thanks

Bill

? - If I paypal as a gift and withdraw from cash, are there any additional paypal charges? I thought there was a way to eliminate most if not all of them.

That would have been quite eerie if that was me in the picture. I know them though. This year I believe the smallest pond is closer to 1000 gallons. We do not have any quite as fabulous* as Lost Creek but many are really nice and I believe there is 6 or more ponds that are over 10,000 gallons, including the spring feed pond in Westlake that's 40,000.

*Do you remember Lost Creek actually had half a full size tugboat coming out of their fence line, which doubled as their kids 'treehouse'?

btw folks - that is someone's back yard, and their two ponds are unpictured in the foreground at an even lower elevation.

Bill

Maybe we could ask an op to move us to the group order section, so maybe we can get our 10.

Sounds to me like you've been talking with Shane. I thought his eyes were going to pop out of his head when I once told him I had just under 500 gph on the return for my 75. I'm sure his methodology works for him but I'm sure it's not the only way to do stuff.

Bill

Well, too late now but the only other thing I shoulda added is it always takes longer than you think it is going to.

Bill

The Austin Pond Society is having their annual pond tour this weekend. Pre-event tix are just $12.50 for the whole weekend and can be bought all around town or online at Austinpondsociety.org. Of course more info is available there also or I will be happy to answer questions here.

I am wanting to get some catalytic carbon that was out of stock during the group order. If we could get one or two more and get the postage down to 3 bucks or so that would be great.

The main thing I would do differently would be to move the livestock to a holding bucket (s), move all the sand and live rock; fill and then put the livestock back in, perhaps adding the corals first then the fish = less stress on the fish so their new habitat is just there and not getting assembled around them. I also subscribe to the thoughts that say you put you live rock in the sand not on the sand. If rock is sitting on the glass you don't have to worry about something burrowing under it, dislodging the rocks above and possibly crushing the critter.

Bill

I not trying to be rude but you might want to reconsider the hobby. I suspect you have a fair amount of livestock in your tank that is wild caught. Same thing. You just don't know the people who caught it.
