Bpb Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 Still looking! Can flex the budget some as well if necessary. I can't post anything on here but if you've got one I may have a few odds and ends as a partial trade. I'll be in town next Friday morning.

Bluemoon Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Saw on RC you snagged one of these guys. Did you end up getting it local or online? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 Semi local. Guy on MARSH in Houston was selling one. Price wasn't FANTASTIC by any means but it's fairly new, came with three new bulbs, and the real selling point is that he delivered it himself straight to my work here at the hospital in college station...from south Houston outside the loop. Not exactly a stroll down the road. That had to have been close to a 3 hour drive for him at that time of day. I haven't started running it yet though. Need to pick up a few more new bulbs and do some mods to my canopy for it to fit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemoon Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 ya can't beat at work delivery. Cool to hear you finally found one in state. Post some a picture when you get it up and running. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 Oh I definitely will. The tank journal is going to get a big update since its been fairly inactive. I'm going to be doing a major Rock rescape and getting rid of a ton of corals. Some big water changes and loading back up on acros. Some other big equipment upgrades coming as well. I am excited about trying out a few of my brainstormed bulb combinations. Most people tell me that the 17.5" wide 8 bulb is mega overkill for a 18" wide 90 gallon. But I am hanging it high and I like the bulb options of 8 bulbs more than 6 so I'm going to roll with it and hope I don't torch anything. My new rock work will kind of hug the sand and go only 1/2 way up the tank height at most and I hope to keep acropora literally at substrate level so I wanted no shortage of par Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiddyORION Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I'm glad to hear you are getting back into acros! good luck, keep us posted In other news that container bog full of CPs I set up last year is absolutely exploding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 I'm nervous! For sure! I have several people with some well healed cuts bugging me to come get them but for some reason I'm nervous to get them. That's killer about your CPs. Man I intended to place an order for a bunch of sarrs in February to grow them out over the summer but didn't get around to it. I have a massive unopened bag of peat and 3-1/2 whisky barrel planters I intended to fill with them. I suppose it's not entirely too late. Just need to get on it. I screwed up and let my VFT and Sarrs flower though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey PM me the name of any local nurseries you know of that I can visit next time I'm in the area. I still want to get this bog going before it's too hot. I am letting my barrel planters sit out in the rain and sun to rinse them as well as I can, but what ill likely do is just line them with clear drop cloth (plastic sheets, like $2 would give me two-3 layers of it, vs a dedicated pond liner which is like $100). Don't want any of the stain in the wood leeching into the peat. I was going to order some from California carnivores, but their prices seem to have gone up by 2-3x from only a year ago. I'd be interests to know any online places you recommend as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
