All those yellow tangs! Amazing!

PM on pseudochromis

Very cool and well done. That main tank is awesome. Thanks for sharing!

U open for trades? Have a nice torch.

Wow. I was looking for small tank for freshwater for several days and finally bought one a few days ago. Your 40bowfront would have fit the bill perfectly. You should have advertised a few days earlier. In the process of getting the other one set up right now--waiting on filter and other equipment in the mail. Good luck with the sale. Michael

Think I've got a used spare. You're just talking about the shaft part, not the magnet piece correct? Michael 970-1767 I can text you a picture of what I have. Will the montipora do anything under PC lights? I don't think it will, correct?

How about a small leather frag; I think its called Devil's Hand? Michael McDermott

Pm'ed on Sailfin and Damsel.. Michael McDermott

I already madr a claim on it, still waiting on brian 4 contact info

[still available, but it's been out of saltwater for 2 days now. Call me @ 970-1767. Michael McDermott

I've got a large piece of base rock/live rock. It's got quite a bit of coloration, but I just rescaped my tank looking for a dead fish (which I never found!) and want to make a little more space. Free for pickup-hurry it's not in saltwater right now. It's a fairly, flat,large piece--about 15 pounds or more. Give me a call as I'm still working on the tank and I won't be checking email for a while. I don't want to take a picture, but I can shoot one with my Iphone and send it to you if I must.... Also wouldn't mind if you wanted to throw some type of frag my way for it. Amazing, I lost my purple tang and removed almost every piece of rock in the tank and I can't find it!!!!! You think there would be something left? It looks like about a foot long by 8 inches a cross and about 4 inches or so thick and I think its even got a mushroom growing on it. Hurry, @ free it won't last long. Michael McDermott 250-8813

Please delete Post...retrofits are gone// MJM

Selling 2 retrofit lights (I will take $40 for either). They come with bulbs, but it's time for new ones. 1) SunPAQ, 2X96 Watt Retrofit Kits. I have 2 bulbs that are a year old. The daylight is still working, but the actinic just burned out. I priced the bulbs @ Dr Foster and they are about $35. (square pin). Comes with reflectors, ballast, etc. Kits is a couple of years old. I originally paid about $175 for it. 2) Coralvue 4X65 Watt Retrofit Kit. I have 4 bulbs. 2 of the bulbs have about 6 months less use than the other set as I only used 1/2 of the 4 bulbs for my current tank. You can probably get a few months use out of those, but I would replace the others. I can't find my paperwork for these lights, but I paid at least $150 for the kit. I will take $40 OBO for either set. Michael McDermott sunpaqretro.bmp coralvue_retro.bmp

What brand and how old? Does it come with the feet for mounting across the tank? Could you send a pic? Maybe I'll run my tank without the hood for a while. MJM

That's not a retrofit is it? Looking for something that would go in a hood... Sounds like a good deal...does it come with all the bulbs?? Michael McDermott

Sorry Dave, They are all gone...tomota clown went to RCA today. Occelaris and six line sold yesterday. MJM

Foxface is about 3.5 or 4 inches. I have a very large scribble rabbitfish that I kept. I would really like to keep him, but I have read theres a good chance they won't get along. MJM

I have an ocellaris clown ($10), a tomato clown ($10), a foxface rabbitfish ($15), a scooter blenny ($10) and a six line wrasse ($10) for sale or maybe trade. All are healthy from 2 tanks that I just broke down (converted into one and now there are some potential compatability issues that I don't want to deal with). If I don't get any takers soon, they will be going to RCA to see if I can get some store credit. I'm available during daytime (work evenings) but can possibly arrange an evening pickup if required.

Hi, I am picking up a 130 G tank later this week and plan on trying to consolidate contents (most of the fish, liverock, sand, and soft corals) from 2 tanks into the one. I have been reading through sites trying to get info, advice, recommendations to make this happen, but what I really need is a source for maybe some large containers. If anyone out there (would prefer North austin area if at all possible, I'm about 4 miles west of RCA) has any type of large container (e.g 20 - 40 gallon trash can or rubbermaid container use for water changes or livestock moves) that they could spare for a few days to help me make the move go a little smoother I would really appreciate it. I'm tentative on an actual date at this point, but I plan to pick up the tank this Sunday and maybe try to make the consolidation the week after. Anyway, anyone that wants to send me some advice (either through personal experience or maybe a good source out there on the net) or could lend out their container for a few days, I would really appreciate it. Michael McDermott

Thnks for the info...I'm @ work...so will try to get back with you tomorrow. MJM

Regarding a six line, do you think he would be okay with one? I read they (Lunar Wrasse) are peaceful fish. Also, would he be okay in a 90G tank? I may be interested. Michael McDermott
