I wonder if they sell these tanks when they change the design of the display.

May I ask what you upgraded to?

I was at Seaworld Orlando and saw this tank. It has an opeing in the bottom that you crawl into and they take your picture. I blurred out the lady's face since I dont know her.

John, can you call me please at 680_7742, I'm sending this from my phone and can't figure out how to PM you and I'm in san maros right now.

Np, I like honesty! I'll keep you in mind for when I am going to south austin and ping you and hopefully we can hookup.

I have wayyy to much Xenia in my tank, and I will gladly give you some if you would like some off the glass or off a non-rock surface. I have a bunch on my rocks as well and I was thinking if youse guys and gals would like to buy/trade for the ones on the rock. I'd like to get a reasonable amount for the rock with the xenia so I can get more rock to replace what I sell. i took a few pictures and some are kinda crappy becasue my coraline algea is going nuts and growing on the glass and I havnt scraped it for a couple of weeks. These are white/light grey pulsing pom pom Xenia and are short and thick, but some are a little longer than others. I'll be out of town starting Saturday and be back Monday. Rey

OMG, where were you guys 2 weeks ago when I was looking for a new 660? I have 2 dead 660s that I can sell for 10 bucks each, and 1 used wiring harness and one new/unused wiring harness extender for 25.

Hi again! I'm looking for a Powder Blue Tang, preferably young, but should be at least an inch long and 2 inches would be better (isnt it always)

Hi all, I'm looking for an Icecap 660 ballast, but it needs to still be under warranty. These units have a date stamp on the bottom that shows when it was made, and I'd like one that is less than a year old please. I may not need a harness, but if you have one, thats cool too.

I've sold and bought items on ARC and MAAST, and I have a question: buyer "A" PMs you first and says "I can come over this weekend". Buyer "B" PMs you after buyer A, and says "I can be there in an hour". what are the rules on who you sell to? First with cash in hand? Do you have to wait for buyer A since he PM'd first? I know I've been beat to the sellers house before and it wasnt a good feeling to go over there and what I was going to get was gone before I got there, even though he knew I was coming for it. What are y'alls thoughts on this? I'm leaning to the cash in hand gets it first, but it seems rude to do this if someone PM'd the seller first. Rey

Perhaps I'm slow to learn, but I just noticed that Marine Depot has a link to Petstore.com on their website. I'm looking for an icecap 660 ballast. On MD, its 149.99 plus 9.99 for shipping, total:159.98. For Petstore.com, its 149.99 plus .70 cents for insurance, for a total of 150.69. Not a massive difference, but almost 10 bucks. Why is that? My understanding is that MD owns Petstore.com, so you get the picture.

please put me second for the plate coral in case gonzo doesnt take it.

I went ahead and left both of these powered up and running just to create flow, and they are working very well. If anyone sees this (misspelled) posting and you would like to have these, let me know. Until then, they'll be running in my tank

pretty much like any pump, the impeller is riding on a shaft (down the center) and sits in a "well" or socket and when the K4 turns on, the impeller literally lifts up about a 1/2 inch as it spins, then falls back down into the socket, and it does this a few times until it has come up to full speed, then it sits all the way down in the socket and runs normally. This is normal behavior and many sites talk about sliding a piece of airhose on the shaft to prevent this, but I really dont want to mess with that. This manual for the Koralias will show the exploded view better than I am describing it. k4.pdf

bad spelling on my part, should be Koralia I dont suppose anyone can edit that for me? it wont let me edit the posting anymore.

I just bought these (2) Kroalia 4s from Don Duncan (beautiful tanks!) intending to use them as a replacement for (2) Koralia 1s that I have now. I didnt research these well enough, and Koralia says these were not designed to be used with a wavemaker. The problem they have is when the Koralia starts up, the impeller literally tries to jump out of the socket they are in, and it makes a rattling noise until the impeller is fully running. These pumps really do make great flow in my 90G, but I dont want to mess with having to slip airline on the shaft to keep the impellers from jumping at startup. I've cleaned these 2 up and they run great when they are on. I'll take what I paid for them, 30 bucks cash each (firm). I'm in Gtown, but I work in RR at dell, so I can meet anyone in this area at my building, or in Gtown. I live up by the highschool.

I wonder if a cleaner shrimp would help here?

I would like to get 2 of the Koralias please. PM sent.

PM'd you

The icecap ballast can be sent into iceap and they will fix them for about 50 bucks. if its under 3 yrs old, they will fix it for free. There is a date stamp on the bottom of that ballast that shows the date it was made. Its about 50 bucks to get them repaired if its older than 3yrs, and you get a 90 day warranty. A new one is 149 at marine deport, but ocassionally they sell them for 119.00.

Great article, but keep an eye on it, I had a clam go south once, the toxins it released wiped out alot of stuff, and it made the house smell horrible! But like someone's signature said, only bad things happen fast. Dont over react and start changing everything to fix it.

ok, nm I see it.

whats an OM 4 way?

whatcha got left?
