What is everyone's ideal tank temperature? I try to keep mine around 80 but wondered if it would be better to lower it a bit. Just looking for some input on what everyone else keeps there's at. Later Ryan

Was I suppose to bring someone stomatella snails? I remeber someone posting about it but dont remember who. Later Ryan

Nope looks like it sold. Thats RC for ya. Later Ryan

It doesnt look like i got it. I pmed the guy 12 minutes after he posted. I guess I wasnt quick enough. Later Ryan

The only reason I thought about it was that it was a really good deal. A couple hundred bucks off MSRP. Lets see if i get it though. Later Ryan

Keep up the good work Miles, keep us posted. Later Ryan

HAs anyone had any expierience with a Deltec MCE600? I found a real good deal on one and was just wondering. Heres a link. They are supposedly from what ive read the best HOB skimmer money can buy. Later Ryan http://www.deltecusa.us/proteinskimmers/mce600.php

Looks good Miles! Sweet Job. How much flow do you think your getting out of them? Later Ryan

Hey Drock if you cant make it I could pick it up for ya. Just talk to James if ya cant. I think the meeting is in Tigard. Next Sunday the 23rd. LAter Ryan

Hey Jansen look at this setup. Looks in nice shape. http://portland.craigslist.org/for/151242109.html Later Ryan

I just checked the mail and I got mine too. Weird looking stuff. I felt like i was opening a bag of drugs. LOL. Anyway ill try it soon. Later ryan

Hey if there is any left after Drock takes some, I would be interested. I wanna make a HOB fuge for my 20! I would be happy with anything. LAter Ryan

I got home early today and finished the stand. Heres some pics. Little Closer Side This is actually only the second "woodworking" piece I have made. I'm techinically a framer not really a finish carpenter. Even though I help a gy out every once in a while with finish stuff. Its just something I enjoy. Just kinda getting the hang of it. Later Ryan

2x4s. I know its overkill but I had access to free scraps form work!! I'll post more pics tomorrow after im done. Later Ryan

They probably didnt expect to have so many people find out about it. Good thing we talk to each other. Later Ryan

Man that sucks about your wrasse! A cube would be cool. I love the look of cubes. It wil get a cube when I break down my 75. A Aqua C should work good from what ive heard. Im gonna try out a PM HOT+1 on my 20. I got a good price on it so I thought I would try it out. If money is no prob look at the Deltec MCE600. It seems to be a nice unit. Anyway, Later Ryan

I said I would start a thread when I get ready to do this so here it is. Ive got most everything already. Heres a equipment breakdown. Tank- 20G AGA 24x13x16 Lights- 4x24W T-5 Retro Flow- 2 MJ1200 Skimmer- PM HOT+1 w/MJ1200 I have all equipment bought just waiting on the skimmer to get here. Im working on the stand right now. I was gonna be done but ran out of trim. Here are some pics of it. Keep in mind i still have to finish it but you can get a good idea. I will update tomorrow with final construction pics. Then its ready for stain. Heres one of the side. Still have to put a piece on the bottom, but thats the jist. Thats it for now, tune in tomorrow!! Later Ryan
