I responded to the PMs and majority of everyone was interested in the condition / ablility to fix the collection cup. Since I had some time last night, I decided to use some left over weldon from a previous project. From the quick look this morning when I was walking out to head to work, it looks like it was successful. I will let it completely cure and check the strength / hold water on Thursday. It looks like it should hold so overall the skimmer will be intact and ready to function for the next user. Again, just interested in a trade for a few different corals. I'm specifically looking for pink and green birdsnest and ricordia / zoos that are colorful.

So zero interest in trading so this will be free. On Wednesday it will go to the dumpster.

BUMP. Trade for corals.

Any nassarius left?

I have a Euro-Reef CS 8-1 skimmer BUT it is missing the collection cup. During a cleaning it took a tumble and broke. I still have the broken collection cup if someone wants to repair it but if not, you can always buy a new replacement from Euro-Reef. It also has two Sedra 5000 pumps (one whole and another pump body / needlewheel with it just missing the venturi). I'm looking to trade it for some coral. I'm interested in green and pink birdsnest and other fast growing SPS. Also interested in any zoo colonies that are colorful.

Responded to PMs.

I keep my Brute in the garage under my RO/DI. I mix the saltwater in the garage thus my issues with increased temperatures due to my closed garage. I use a Mag 9.5 for mixing and then for the water change attach 35ft of flexible tubing to the pump and fill up that way. My water change consists of 45 gallons and once it is at the right temperature / salinity it takes about 15 minutes total to drain the sump / tank and then replace with the new water using the Mag 9.5. It took a few times to get an accurate reading of how much water I'm removing since I just drain it into my yard, but once that was established, it is a quick 15 minutes. Before I used to do the same thing with putting a bucket next to the tank. In my case I had two 15 gallon buckets but I would have to lug 5 gallon buckets of RO / DI water to fill them up. My wife was never happy with two buckets sitting in the house, especially with a toddler dipping his hands into it! The process is much more manageable now with the RO/DI in the garage / Brute underneath it. With the float valve and auto shutoff, I always have 45 gallons available to re fill my top off or begin water change process. It was smooth sailing until a month or so ago when the temperatures were getting into the upper 90's in which case implemented the frozen bottles to manage temperature of the water change water.

I have the same trouble and this is my solution. It is similar to your bag idea but I kept having issues with pin holes or leaking from the seal. I now use juice or soda (2l) bottles that are more durable / heavy duty plastic and cap. I fill it up about 3/4 with water and then freeze it. I basically just pull them out, throw them into the mixing bucket (trashcan) the day I plan to do the water change. It brings the temperature down to where I can do a final check on salinity and then perform water change. By that time they're completely melted and just throw them back into the freezer for the next water change. You might try that.

BUMP

I didn't order hermits, but some of my livestock also didn't make it. I would send a separate email directly to John.

Someone picked up the VHO bulbs and one Halide. I will also entertain offers for ZOOS or critters to keep sand bed stirred (Nassarius snails, conchs, serpent star, etc.) List updated below: Update to Items Available: One SE Reeflux 250 watt 12k bulbs (~six months of use) - $15 One SE Reeflux 250 watt 12k bulbs (~six months of use) - $15 Two 46.5" Super Actinic VHO bulbs (~10 months of use) - $free 4 Used Maxi Jet 900's (complete with all accessories that come with it new) - $10 each 1 New Maxi Jet 900 (in box) - $15 4 Algae Free Sure Flow 1600 Maxi-Jet Stream Upgrades - Includes both props - $10 each 4 Algae Free Sure Grip 100 Magnet Holders - $20 each JBJ Ocean Pulse - QUADRA Wavemaker (4 pump capacity) - includes original box / manual - $35 4 - Used Maxi-Jet 900's, 4 - SureFlow Stream Upgrades, 4 - Magnet Holders, and Wavemaker TOGETHER AS PACKAGE - $140

As of right now they're spoken for, but if it falls through this weekend I will let you know.

I'm on my way to pick up my order. I should be stopping by in 20 minutes or so dependent on 35 traffic.

Unable to confirm when the order will deliver exactly, but the method shipped was express with overnight delivery by noon. Our best guess right now is around noon tomorrow (Thursday).

I just sent you a PM to straighten this out. Per my discussion with John, this would be shipping today using overnight method. Let's discuss further through email and get this resolved. I agree with you concerning the heat, we only continue to break records on a daily basis.

It qualified for free shipping.

Ok, just got an email from John at Reefcleaners.org. It looks like we have seven individuals: Justin, Mark, Michael, Andrew, Chiu, Matthew, and Daniel. If anyone ordered that isn't shown above, please send me a PM immediately or reply to this thread so I can get with John to track down your order.

I'm slightly confused by the question. Are you asking if it will ship on Wednesday? The order should close this evening so anyone else that wants to order needs to have it in by this evening as it is scheduled to ship on Wednesday.

It is set to ship on 6/24 and the order will be closed on Monday night (6/22).

Few days left if anyone is interested.

I requested the product to ship on 6/24, so I would assume you can order up to 6/23. Put a request into John at www.reefcleaners.org to confirm.

Thanks Matt and good luck on the custom crew.
