Manny Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 There used to be a guy on here by the name of Patrick, who used to aquaculture large amounts of live rock. Hopefully someone here will have his contact info. I saw a few pieces from him and they looked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's awesome. We may have to swap horror stories about the great white north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbaxter Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 We sure will. Im getting ready to start a build soon. I ordered a DSA 225 tank, stand canopy and am on the waiting list for a complete Lifereef Sump, Skimmer, reactor setup. I just have to live patiently with an empty tank for 5 months. I should have the tank next week Ill PM you my contact info. It would be great to swap stories and get a better idea of what I got myself into. Ive wanted a reef tank for years and finally have the right house to do it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reburn Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Manny, Your thinking of Patrick (subsea) http://www.aquacultureranch.com/home he is no longer active on the forum and I'm not sure why. I wasn't privy to the details of his departure and don't need or want to be. DHerlbert, I don't know Patrick and have never done business with him and am no way endorsing him or his business. Just simply pointing you towards his website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan H Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Absolutely. 5 months? I don't think I could hold out that long. We've been planning this tank for probably about 6 months, but once we pulled the trigger, things started moving fast. My recycling bin has been overflowing with boxes from all the stuff. If you'd like to chat about what you've gotten into, I'd love to dispense my wisdom. I'll check out Patrick's site. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like they had nice LR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan H Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 No progress on the stand today due to the weather, but we did drop by and check it out. We chose a finish for the walnut and Robert thinks it may possibly be done next weekend. Yay! I also swung by tank depot on 620 this morning and picked up a 55 gallon tank for water changes. Ryan, the guy working there turned out to be a former salt water hobbyist, so we ended up reminiscing. Really nice guy, and I hope he gets back in to the hobby some day. Ryan, if you read this, feel free to shoot me a message and you're more than welcome to come check out the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan H Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Woohoo! The tank is here! The shipping box was pretty badly damaged on both ends which scared the poo out of me, but only 3 tiny scratches were there from screws rubbing against the back corner.I must say, the tank looks amazing! Thank you Lance and GPS Aquariums! You built a beautiful tank.[emoji41] I may have to ask some of you fine people for help moving this sucker inside this weekend assuming the stand is done.
