I got out of the hobby a few months ago. I need to get rid of all the miscellaneous leftovers. I have 2 five-gallon buckets of various chemicals. I also have a large container of various tubing, a pump or two, filter media, etc. All of it is free. First come - first served. Whatever is leftover, goes in the trash tomorrow. five one 2 - five 8 five - five ate three ate in Hutto. Please don't come to cherry pick. Please pick up the stuff and sort it out somewhere else.

It's gone. Thanks Jason

Rocks are gone.

I will take the brs dual reactor. Does it have the a pump with it?

No pump. Call me for address and come get it. I am not holding anything. First one here with cash gets it. I will post when it is gone.

I have a BRS double canister - SOLD

I have two 5 gallon buckets of mixed dry rock/coral. All of these rocks were used in my tank at one time or another. $15 each or both for $25. (BOTH SOLD)

Email me at [email protected] or call five one two - 5 ate 5 - five 8 three 8.

I have a home depot bucket 2/3 full of live sand. It's free. I'd like a home depot bucket in exchange. Call or Text. I am in Hutto.

I need to get out of the hobby for a while. I have a 75 gallon setup with a 20gal sump. This tank was built at "Fishy Business". It has three overflows to the sump. All fish, lights, and miscellaneous equipment goes in the sale. I have 6 fish - 3 tangs(sailfin, scopas, and unicorn), a blue chromis, false percula clown. The clown is about 15 years old and is very attached to the big red anemones. There are 4 large red 'nems and about 20 smaller greens. There is also an assortment of other softies including about 20 orange mushrooms. You will have to move it.

I started with one RBTA is got from Mark Callahan and now I have 4 that are rather large. I also got one green one about the size of my thumb at ARC. Now I have about 12 or 14 of varying sizes. My tank is becoming a 'nem farm. If I knew how to get them loose, I'd sell some of them.

In, I have a brush that I use. I will scrub them a bit as well.

OK that's all doable with stuff on hand. Thanks Ty.

I have a home depot bucket full of what used to be live rock from previous iterations of this tank and from earlier tanks. I would like to re-scape my current aquarium a bit. What do I need to do to this rock other than soak it in tank water for a few days? Some of it has been dry 4 or 5 years I guess. Any advice or ideas would be helpful. Thanks.

Any chaeto left? I can stop by tomorrow, Saturday, most any time.

Thanks guys. I wish coral came with little labels on them so old people like me could remember what they had.

What kind of coral is this?

When I traded out my tanks, I bought a 100 gallon water trough from Tractor Supply Co. in Taylor. It is resin and easily cleanable. When I was done with it, I took it back 3 days later for a full refund. I didn't hurt it - it wasn't even scratched.

Found it but it's missing a barb valve.

Not a problem. How much you want for it?

I pulled my 150 reactor out today to add bio-pellets and I noticed the head is cracked. Has anyone got a used 150 reactor they don't want anymore?

where did you get the good cheato? I want some.

I'll be there.

If all else fails, amputate the digit immediately.

I vote for monthly but quarterly is ok. I think reminder emails might be a good idea, especially to the people who RSVP'd. I know I have had senior moments Saturday evening where I remembered that '****, the meeting was today. " An agenda is always good and pre-posting it here might help generate interest.

I went to a couple of San Antonio meetings at a Bass Pro Shop. Ours should be open soon.

Is there a meeting this month?

I do have a small maxijet in the tank to aid in circulation. I think I will upgrade to the max 12. I am a little afraid of the 18. I don't want my return to be a fire hose. If I went to the 18, I'd put the T back in the return line and use 2 outlets the way it was originally.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I appreciate it. See yall at the meeting.

We haven't discussed this lately I don't think so I'd like some opinions on how much circulation I need for a mixed reef tank. I have 7 fish, some softies, and several medium size anemones, red and green. I am looking at getting a new return pump and as usual I read too much.

My tank is 75 gallon rectangle plumbed by Shane at Fishy Business and has a 20 gallon sump. Most of yall are familiar with his design. I bought the tank used and it came with mag 9.5 that used two returns. The flow in the tank was poor so I added a couple of water pumps to increase the movement but these require cleaning every week or so. That's a lot of maintenance as far as I am concerned. I took out the two returns and am currently using just one. This improved my flow enough to remove one pump. My flow from the return got weak so I swapped out the 9.5 with another that I had. Things are back to normal but I think I need to replace the old pump.

Since I am buying a new one, I started looking into how often the water should be completely circulated. I read in a couple of places that the water should be completely circulated 20 to 30 times an hour. By the specs, a 9.5 raising water to 5 ft yields about 685 gph. By my calculation that results in 7 water changes an hour if I figure the tank and sump at 100 gallons to make the math easier. Is that sufficient or should I go with a Mag 18 which would yield 1100 GPH or about 11 changes an hour?

Man, this got a LOT longer than I intended. Ideas?

Put up a pic if you can, please?
