    I've had this skimmer for about 2 1/2 years, previous owner had it for 4 months, I believe. Anyway, the reason I'm selling is because I just don't pull a ton of skimmate out of my tank. I don't know if it's due to my sloth or if I don't have a ton in my tank to pull out, but I just don't think I need one on my tank. So, I'll get pictures of it up here soon. I'm asking $350. I live in Pflugerville, work in Austin, so I can meet anywhere within a reasonable distance.

    SPS/ZOA frags

    Any interest in a trade for the garf bonsai? I can trade you some combination of a 1" x 2" frag of idaho grape, 3 or so polyp frag of nuclear green palys, or 2 polyp frag of darth maul zoanthids, or a few polyps of the zoas below: I can send pictures of any of them if you need. - Mark
  3. Hey guys/gals. I thought I would check to see if anybody local has any of the frags mentioned in the title. I'm looking for a frag of oregon blue tort, garf bonsai, and pink lemonade. Willing to pay cash or offer up a few frags as partial payment (idaho grape, nuclear green zoanthids, amongst a few others). Thanks, Mark
  4. Jack: We have another pointer, but don't have any pictures of her on my computer.
  5. what happens when the mangroves grow too large for the tank? Is it a perpetual replacing the mangroves with smaller ones? Oh and I made the move from FL to Austin as well, Creon.
  6. I am in the process of building my first guitar (east Indian rosewood b/s and cedar topped small body guitar based on the olson body style). I sold my guitar to fund the buying the tools, and have just started building #1. I will post some pictures when I make progress.
  7. Thanks for the link. That looks like a pretty simple and effective setup.
  8. Looks like the zoanthids are gone. I would also be interested in trading for a small sump.
  9. Indirectly through them. I called Jeff at ADG, and he pointed me in the direction of Aquatek to save on shipping. They are going to order it next week. I'll start up a thread to document the process when it gets in town. I would love to hear a quote. The tank is 30 x 18. I would like the stand to be 36" tall. I really like the look of this stand: http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/photo-al...-diy-stand.html with a different color finish (not sure what color exactly though). Thanks
  10. I now live in Pflugerville, and would prefer pickup, but I am willing to meet people as well. I am selling off a few things to help pay for a new tank. Here they are: Demon Eye Zoanthids [$20] The colors have faded a little bit in my tank, I'm not sure what their best placement in the tank should be. I got these from Copps on RC, and this is the picture from when I first put them in my tank. There are more polyps now: Green encrusting monti [$20] This is the frag when I first put it in my tank. It has grown quickly, so the frag I cut will be very similar in size to this picture: Clam [$60]: About 4" Give me an email at markaburton at gmail dot com or PM me on here if interested. Thanks, Mark
  11. I am getting a 30" x 18" ADA tank, and need a stand to set it on. Does anybody have anything, or have any ideas of places to find one? Thanks, Mark
  12. Found what I was looking for. Thanks for the interest.
  13. Posted this on MAAST as well, but in case others were wondering: http://www.zoaid.com/index.php?module=Gall...;g2_itemId=2976 There are a few pictures on there. They are fairly big polyps.
  14. Hey guys/gals. I have an orange yuma for trade and I am looking for nuclear green palys. The yuma is just a baby (slightly bigger than 1/2") that was laid by the mother a few weeks ago. Here are a few pictures of the mother: I'm looking for the real deal Nuclear Green Palys. Any interest? -- Mark edit: All those pictures were taken under the 250 watt 20K AB bulb I was using at the time.
  15. Yours was actually one of the tanks that I really liked this on. Did you have the steel part powder-coated? Does anybody know people in Austin who do this type of thing?
  16. I notice when looking at the big tank forum on RC that a lot of the tank stands are made from steel tubing and skinned in wood. I'm thinking about setting up a new tank (roughly 80 gallons). Are these style stands quite a bit more expensive than just a solid wood stand? I like the idea of using a steel stand and attaching the wood with magnets or something along those lines so I can remove the entire wood skin for full access under the tank. Any thoughts on this? any idea of potential costs for doing this on an 80 gallon tank?
  17. Any interest in a trade? I have a solid orage-ish colored Yuma that just laid a baby (only about 1/2" big now) I am intereste in the Red Chalice. Here is a picture of the mother:
  18. Your best bet is to ask Roger over at the Tunze forum on reefcentral. Try: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/forumdis...p?s=&forumid=92 I think Roger lives here in Austin, and he is the Tunze distributor for the US.
  19. any updates on this project?
  20. sorry, forgot to say it, but PM me for my phone number if you need to borrow a pump.
  21. Was it your only source of water flow? If so, I would suggest getting something else in there ASAP. If you don't have anything lying around, I have a pump you can borrow. Its not a powerhead, but it will move water to keep the water oxygenated. What is the tank setup like? Reef tank, Fish only, etc?
  22. I got a chance to stop by there before I moved away from Florida. Absolutely stunning display tanks. I am going to have keep an eye out for a re-run of this.
  23. I have the 600 on my 30 cube. The only reason I went with it over the 300 is because I found one used for only 2 months at a pretty good price. I have had it running for a few weeks now and am getting good skimmate out of it considering my low bioload. Let me know if you ever want to come by and check it out. I had problems with microbubbles for the first few weeks, so I turned it off for a few days. I turned it back on yesterday, and its almost microbubble free.
