Hey Dustin if you still have that awsome acan I would love to take it off of your hands. Just let me know the damage and I will be there to pick it up. Does this mean no more drives to Austin LFS? Thanks Alex.

I remember you mentioning this at the last meeting. Great information to share with all of us. In my last visit to Moody Gardens a couple years ago there was a couple of small windows allowing a person to see some of the pipes and filtration for the building with the aquatic livestock. This was before all the hurricanes so things may have changed. If I remember right the protein skimmer I saw looked like it was 4ft wide in diameter and about 12ft tall. Of course I may be wrong with my visuals but it definatly looked to be a skimmer. There were lots of pipes. I do remember clearly seeing coral frags on plugs in a couple of holding tanks off to the side of the windows. Makes me wonder if they give frags to fellow reefers. I'll ask next time I am down in that area for a vacation. Nobody hold their breath though.

If you have it at the meeting I would love to take it off your hands. But whomever gets there first should have dibs on it. Depending on the time, maybe I could just swing by and check out what else you have in your tank ready to be fragged after the meeting.

My wife said she would attend the meeting with me so now I will be there with a wife and two kids. By any chance will anyone there have frags for sale. I figure its my birthday and since the wife holds the money she may let me leave with something nice in my hands if the look and price is right. Please God let her be in a good mood.

Wow the meeting is on my birthday also. I have been very interested in the scrubbers so I will try to make this meeting.

Thanks for the sand. Your tank should turn out really nice. Let me know when your ready for some frags.

I would like to take it off your hands. I am unable to get it at the moment and was wondering if you could hold it till tuesday.

I am interested in the Aqua C Remora protein skimmer if you part out.

Not as nice as the others, but heres a pic of a couple snails of mine.

How about a nice sized colony of pink birdsnest for some of each of the polps? Its all I have at the moment.

Here is a dated pic of my mixed reef 55 gallon tank. The tank is totally differnet looking now as more live rock and corals have been added, plus the removal of the center powerhead and tons of cheato. It has changed quite a bit since this pic was taken, but this old pic will give you a general idea of the old layout. Nothing touches the glass, the LR is pretty much designed as 2 islands with a joining center bridge like area. Consist of modest sized pieces of LR (nothing big) and Cheato growing in the same tank. The current design mainly has the top portion consisting mainly of SPS, the middle being LPS and low areas being whatever. Of course some things are not in those places due to corals liking different flow and light. I use a Tunze Nano skimmer which seems to do fine for me but does take up some room in the tank. I realize I proubly should upgrade, but wife aggro is high and pocketbook thickness is low. I am in the process of setting up a small sump/fuge to help make more room for more corals in the future. This system currently works for me but could be lots better. Hope this helps.

Thanks Dustin, gonna look into setting it up soon. Gonna look into the lifereef overflow. again TY. alex

I can come by and pick it up after 5 if thats ok with you Alex

dustin can I pick it up tomorrow. I think you have my number.

I am still interested. Can I pay cash in a couple weeks because I will be out of town and cant pick up for two weeks. If it will be a problem please call me again.

Capt. Obvious Are any of your zoanthids ready to be fragged yet. I still have an empty spot for some. Let me know what kind you have again and when they are ready. I missed you at the last ARC meeting. By the way how is the orange spotted fish doing? I am guessing that he only pecked at the birdsnest colony I took to ya.

I just wanted to say thanks for allowing me into your home for my first ARC meeting. Your tank is awsome and everyone there was really nice. Remember when you hit the lotto I get dibs on your BLEEDING APPLE coral. Oh and if you feel generous I'll also take the WHOLE TANK. haha!!!

I really dont know my way around, but I have National Guard drill in Austin for a day and might be able to make it to this meeting. Hopefully they let me go in time. If I show up I will proubly be in uniform. Hope that is not a problem for anyone.

My jawfish used to always come out and swim freely. That was until my evil Lawnmower bleenie decided to kill him. I think he is now wanting to kill my sleeper gobie. redrum

No problem. If anything it should give the frags more time to heal up. Hope things work out.

Are these the same ones in your avatar? Do you have a name for them?

Hey sorry I did not call you. Some last minit crazy stuff came up and I never got to make it out there. The worst thing is my schedule has me busy for like the next two weeks. Its good to hear the fish is eating. Well hope to see some pics soon. I will give you a call the next time I attempt to fit a trip to Austin into my schedule. Hopefully I can come by and check out your tanks.

Hey how is the fish doing? Did he start eating that big ball of ORA Birdsnest and ORA Didgi that I gave you? Hope its doing ok. If not post some pics of the bugger before he dies. If he is eating that is one hell of a lunch for it. hahaha. I may be able to spare more.

PM sent yesterday with my number. give me a call to plan pickup. I would love a frag of zoas or palys if you have any to spare as I have now became addicted to them.

Wish I could help you out with some acro frags. Thats an awsome fish. If you could meet me at my home in Belton I could give you a nice golfball sized piece of Pink Birdsnest to hopefully keep it fed and happy. I would really hate to hear about another one of those pretty fish being flushed down the toilet because it starved to death. I hope you get it to take some other foods, but you would proubly have better luck in keeping a Moorish Idol alive.
