obrien.david.j Posted March 11, 2023 Author Share Posted March 11, 2023 Teaser for the Gear Swap(or sale). I'm setting out: three Neptune SKY LED lights, used a total of 3 days. Bought at MACNA off the floor, and decided to go another route. big purple arch rock. I really like what this structure looks like in a tank, but I've never setup a tank going that route. So It's on the table. Reef Octopus 200-INT skimmer. FANTASTIC skimmer. Ran my 120 gallon heavily loaded system, and then I supersized my setup. Pump is a Varios4, runs great Old trusty K2R calcium Reactor. Used for Years and does the job. Not fancy, and not expensive to the next person who wants to try their hand with reactors. Recirculation done by an Eheim pump, which means it'll run forever. and of course, my GEO CR818 calcium reactor (bump to @caolewis ) Anyone else bringing Gear to swap or sell tomorrow?

Sounds like July or August on the coast. Thanks for offering, I'll take it to the board. Do have dates to consider? you're welcome to PM me if you want to go back and forth on this. Any other club members want to consider hosting a club meeting at their house, show off your tank and setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other club members want to consider hosting a club meeting at their house, show off your tank and setup? I don't think anyone wants to drive to the coast unless it is HOT HOT HOT in Portland. Its a 90 minute drive from Cuttlefish. Perhaps we could figure out something else to do so its a family event/whole day afair. I don't know. I'm willing to host a full brunch/beach/River trip..... Perhaps we could get a coastal speaker or something..... If people are going to be asked to make this trip it needs to be worth wile. My tank is not worth a 90 minute drive.....yet. If we have a few people that want to do it, Ill do it. Lets see what people say. If I could time the weather I would do it.
