I could house a lot of your stuff if you like?\ I will only be home till 1:00 pm today (daughter Gina is playing a gig at Hutto for "Field of Faith"). Otherwise, I will be here tomorrow after 12:30 (Gina has another gig in Georgetown). Let me know if I may help?

caferacermike Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I should be available after 4:00 to help in any way you might need. Do you still have my suction cups? I haven't seen them in many months and I was wondering what their current condition was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don duncan Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 yes I have them now. I will return them if you need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caferacermike Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Oh no, as was said I'm even down for helping on Friday after work. I was just wondering if you had them and if so are they still in good condition? I had someone tell me that 2 of them didn't work but I chalked that up to user error.

don duncan Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 They seem to work just fine. I will let you know if I need help. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisfowler99 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Oh no, as was said I'm even down for helping on Friday after work. I was just wondering if you had them and if so are they still in good condition? I had someone tell me that 2 of them didn't work but I chalked that up to user error. They worked great moving Chad and Belinda's tank to my place. Would have sucked without them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisfowler99 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Spoke with Don about 20 minutes ago and he was still north of Waco. He's going to move the tank from his truck inside tomorrow, it appears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don duncan Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 tank is moved in. We moved it at 11pm. Got it on the stand and began to set it up. Found out the hayward bulkheads were not the same. 2 slip by thread and 2 thread by thread. Resolved the issue by just glueing the two slip by threads to the omni flex. Here are some pics of the set up. Stand and tub holding corals for about 3 weeks. Had some die off and some necrosis Tank in front yard at 11:30 pm. What can I say I'm obsessed.

John was a great help. He even offered to make up for the mismatched bulkheads. Tank with some water to test for leaks. Only one small one in the 4way Will post more as I progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don duncan Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 Well the tank is up and running again. Here is a pic and here is the bucket of death (corals that did not make it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisfowler99 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 It's impressive that you were able to keep so much of that stuff (mostly) alive and (mostly) unbroken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acropoorer Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Nice looking tank Don, and once again I'm amazed at how quickly you've set it up. Still no where near done with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
