  1. After running a shop i can say you would need a HUGE shop to keep 40k worth or coral in it unless you had nothing but high end stuff. And as far as insuring livestock... aint gonna happen. even for vandalism. i checked with every major insurance company when i was starting and not a single one would cover livestock in ANY situation. This suck for the shops involved, especially for OIB who got hit once, tried to build back up, and got hit again. We need to help these guys out if we can. it just isnt right.
  2. Im sorry, but i didnt get any PM's. Im still working on the skimmer pictures. i dont have a brand name for them. I will try to get it up here soon. i'll drop you a pm when i do.
  3. I have some more stuff, will get it on here soon
  4. LMAO, i thought i did but then realized i had sent to clear. should be good now
  5. Bump. i still have these items. let me know if interested. prices negotiable.
  6. the single tanks are roughly the size of a standard pallet. they also have rails on the bottom so they can be moved like a pallet. the rough dimensions are 39" x 47" x 30" tall. They are roughly 150 gallons to the top of the bulkhead then another 4" to the top of the bin. I dont have any large acrylic tanks but i know where you can get some. I do have 11 smaller tanks and a commercial rack system with sections like you see in shops sometimes. I need to unbury the pumps but i think they are the 3500gph models.
  7. So i have acquired a ton of stuff over my time up here but sadly i am moving far far away so i need to get rid of what i cant move. the stuff i have is big but can be used for smaller reef keepers too if you have room to use the items. all prices are obo and of course i am more than happy to sell everything with a little discount if you want to start a shop or something. This full system was used to hold live fish in a wholesale environment. the tanks have been pre-drilled for a 2" bulkhead and were set up on bricks. they are for sale as singles or all together. we have 6 single and 2 double size tanks. We also have a 1100 gal water storage tank and a 300 gallon tank used for mixing water with salt. we also have 2 skimmers that worked amazingly well on a 3000 gallon system. this setup also comes with 2 barracuda circulation pumps, 4 sedra pumps for the skimmers, and 2 pumps for the large water tanks. if you buy everything you will also get a lot of pvc valves and misc parts to make reassembly much cheaper. Buy it all for $3,000 or make an offer if you buy pieces then prices are below and you will need to wait to see if we can sell it all together. this is a great chance to build out a massive system if you want to do fish sales. Single size tanks $80 double size tanks $170 Protein Skimmer w/2 pumps $400 Barracuda Pump $230 1100 gal tank $750 300 gal tank $400
  8. I never said they were the same thing, but both are created by waste going through its cycles. and a remote DSB is just as dangerous because it will eat all the oxygen even faster than the tank and will go toxic. then when the water starts flowing again it will send the toxicity to your tank.
  9. or you could always reduce your fish amount :p
  10. I will disagree with some of you but oh well. Sand beds are not a good/safe choice IMO/IME for a few reasons. 1) they trap waste and the goal to reduce nitrate and phosphate is to remove waste BEFORE it has a chance to break down in the water column and create these problems (BTW, this is also a problem with algae scrubbers and refugiums, trapping waste and holding it in the water) 2) in the event of a low flow situation (power outage/pump problem) a deep sand bed will eat all the oxygen in the tank very fast and then go toxic. this is why you usually only see a sand filter on large commercial systems with backup generators. 3) the bacteria that populate a sand bed will also make it necessary for you to buffer your water more to keep up with demand my suggestion is the same as it has always been, high flow with large efficient skimming. if you use filter socks make sure to change them every day within 20 min of feeding to remove the waste. stop the nitrate issue before it has a chance to enter the cycle and become nitrate (or phosphate).
  11. for some reason i read the title and waterboarding (torture) popped in my mind... could you imagine being strapped to a board while a st Bernard drools on your face for hours...
  12. I've got a project/business going on out in Hillsboro and i need someone who can come out on a daily basis during the week and do some work for me. There is compensation available depending on what i can have you do. this is not a full time job but could grow into it. person needs experience with saltwater aquariums and the ability to lift salt buckets and stuff. I Don't want to go into too much detail but PM me if your really interested in the position. Mods, feel free to move this to a better place if needed. please let me know by PM where you move it.
  13. keep in mind this weekend we have a full moon and the next day is a tidal moon. make sure you have your 72 hour kit in your car outside with extra cloths, matches, food, and medical supplies. I've had mine for a long time. it is nice knowing you have something to fall back on.also wouldnt hurt to have some water stored.
  14. Looking for a 100 gallon acrylic, nothing else. lemme know by PM
