WAVES

If the tank is Glass, it would be a death wish to move it with anything at all still in the tank. It would even be taxing on acrylic if you tried to move it with 400+ of sand (thats dry weight!).

I wouldnt move either with sand in it.

I dont think you would have to buy new sand, simply wash part of what you have.

I would remove all the sand and rinse it with saltwater, if you can remove all the sulfer dioxide (or whatever it is) then you wont have as big of an issue, you will have an ammonia spike from all the buried dying critters though.

I would just keep like 5 gallons of the sand and rinse the rest out really well in freshwater, unti it runs clean. Put that sand back in and reseed it with the live stuff...

IM with Travis, Ill give special pricing for this event as well. Contact me off list if you like and we can discuss a package.

Bob, what is it that Patrick is selling?

Can someone list where the next few months meetings are located?

I dont think he had them in there a year,, sounds like the story is a year old!?

they were between his eye and ear,, no way they where there for a year...

Still major darwin factor going on here though, they should have handed him a crow bar and let him deal with it himself.

get some fake cop siren thing,,, so you can make it sound like the cops are on there way,,, make it get louder and louder till everyone runs!

Jordan, Id go so far as to say not "slots" but rather huge holes might be more suitable.

all you need to be able to do is have enough material to have enough stregth to be able to push the reducer down, if you do it carefully, you would probably only need like 1/4 of pipe as strips on each side, kind of like what is shown.

Obviously they cant controll themselves, why should they be able to control us?

Too cluttered,,, its a step back IMO, I like clean sites. Thats why I still use TRT alot, its nice and clean, not 5000 links all over the margins.

Obviously too each his own, some like clutter with options, others like it clean.

SeaStar aquariums out of canada, 3 year warrantee, built like it it wouldnt break if it tipped over....

Jordan, I drilled a tank yesterday, no problem at all,,, we will be all set.

I hope they can work it out to be controlled by an aqua controller,,, that would be sweet.

I doubt at this point anyone knows the price, Carla at PFO swore she didnt even know yet, only Pat.

Maybe she is a good lier, but I dont think anyone knows at this point how much it will cost.

Looks like the snapper is only going to be a few bucks less than the dart,,, somewhere like $10-15 less.

well if anyone has seen the LED moonlights from PFO, you should know what to expect for brightness, they are NUTTY bright.

Well,, PFO has a new light that is being released at IMAC, its an LED fixture that can be run from 6.5k to 20k. Not only that but you can program the output to change throughout the day. want 20k in the am then to a crisp 10k at the days peak? Want to have clouds move across the tank as you view it? All this is available. LED bulbs are expected to last 5 years so no more replacing halides VHO's and T5s on a regular bases.

Available from 12 inches to 6 feet.

The output is being compared to a 250wHQI.

Unit runs on 24v DC power, so no more big power hogs either.

Price to be released in the next day or two at IMAC. Ill let you know when I have an idea of what they will run.

I just checked the website,,, looks like they do have a new pump out, called the snapper. didnt find much info, but its worth looking into.

Dude look at it,, thats not Ruben work, its way too nice. I bet this one works too.

whats with the PVC?

I did some of that man made rock,,, I did about 3 batches and every one of them turned out,,,,,,, man made. I could do cool shapes, but the texture is just not the same. I suppose if you used a ton of sand, and not as much shell it would be better, but then you dont have any buffering capacity, would suck even worst for the BB folk.

Hate to get serious,, but Brad diamonds are not rare,,,, but large clear colorless ones are!

(Im a Graduate Jeweler from Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts, so Im biased)

I have a customer with a corner tank with a round front,, SUPER cool. Very expensive furniture required though, to deal with the round front.

where is it keith? outside?!

Mike if you give me warning I can bring in some cheato from home, its in a fuge so Im sure its FULL of pods.

Ill be bringing some in for the newly set up Cube at Waves, I can bring extra if your wanting some.

Hey Jansen I can get cylindar tanks if you want something really crazy

secretive wrasse the same as dissapearing?
