  1. no complaints here

     

    granted I dont spend too much time here, so there could be soem bugs i am unaware of, but I do know that this new format runs way, way faster(for me) than the old one.

     

    I live up in the sticks with a hughesnet connection and this new format actually runs really well

     

    that is all. thanks :)

  2. anybody have any that have outgrown their tank, or planning on breaking down in the near future and want to find a good home for them now??

     

    will buy or pay in frags

     

    Pretty open to type....the bigger the better

     

    prolly a long shot....but ya never know

  3. Just wanted to make sure you understand that. Your last post made me think you didn't. HTH

     

     

    and you would be correct in that thinking haha

     

     

    so does that mean the everyone who posted wants this stuff?? which stuff??

     

    hrmmmm

     

    ok.....new rule......you have to post SOMETHING that makes me smile, chuckle or laugh out loud......and post what the heck you want please

     

    I suppose at this point, cellowwithgills gets his pick based on his James Brown response :)

  4. ok...not high end...and not perfect......but if someone can make use of them I have the following up for grabs

     

    pcx-100 external pump- a little nappy with some rust on the housing but seems to run fine when plugged in dry. I have never actually used this thing. had it sitting around for a couple of years

     

     

    dual PFO 400 w ballast-One side is dead for unknown reasons, other side works great. This thing is big and heavy for anyone unfamilar. You might need to rebuild your canopy in order to support the weight if thats where you plan on putting it

     

    Icecap 250w ballast-has problem. Sometimes takes a couple tries to fire. Has been this way for over a year and I had it over a sump. Moral tot he story is I woudlnt trust it on a timer over a display as when it doesnt fire the first time...it needs unplugged and replugged back in in a few minutes. Can throw in a used bulb or two if you want them. reeflux 10k and radium 20k for choices

     

    If patrick doesnt mind.....lol...I can drop this stuff at saltwater fantaseas for pick up later this week when I am in town.

  5. I have had her for 5 years, him for 3 from ORA. She is pretty large

     

    they have been actively spawning large nests for the last two years and dont miss a beat, even after moving tanks

     

    They are hosted by a condy. The condy didnt take the last move so well and was looking rough for a few months but lately has been improving. It certainly doesnt look as good now as it does in these pics. The clowns actually left it for a spell, but recently returned. I have had the condy for 5 years as well.

     

    Will trade for nice ricordia yumas or high end polyps we dont already have. If I dont find a trade open to selling as well

  6. Holy crap where have you been? I thought you were dead :)

     

    haha good to see ya ryan :)

     

    nope...I still got a pulse. Just busy doing the survival/dad thing ya know

     

     

     

    Does it need to be a certain dimension???

     

    not really

     

    4x2, or 5x2 footprint-20" high with no overflow box is perfect. Pretty unlikely I will find all that in one package

     

    anything with a similar footpint to what I stated will work

  7. Dear abby,

    I've never written to you before, but I really need your advice. I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs. Phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up. My wife has been going out with "the girls" a lot recently although when I ask their names she always says, "Just some friends from work, you don't know them."

     

    I always try to stay awake to look out for her coming home, but I usually fall asleep. Anyway, I have never approached the subject with my wife. I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to really check on her. Around midnight, I decided to hide in the garage behind my golf clubs so I could get a good view of the whole street when she arrived home from a night out with "the girls".

     

    It was at that moment, crouching behind my clubs, that I noticed that the graphite shaft on my driver appeared to have a hairline crack right by the club head. Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it back to the pro shop where I bought it?

  8. I will get a pic or two up tomorrow. didnt think it mattered much at this point. First thing I have to do is actually find someone who has a 72x30" tank or is willing to have one built. that said, unforunately its not very likely I wont end up using this thing for scrap wood, but figured it is worth a shot

     

    as far as dimensions....haha. are you kidding?? :) As the title said, it fits like a glove over a 72x30" tank and is 21" tall

  9. i would want him but dont really have a way of getting there to get it...dont trash it...someone will want him...i love these weird inverts...i have a few mantis' date=' dardanis hermits, conchs, cowries, urchins, stars, etc...just saved an 8+inch fireworm today![/quote']

     

    I right now have a few polyclads you can add to your collection if you want. They killed my 10"gigas last month. Ive had them in a measuring cup ever since to take soem pics of and play with....I change the water every few days and they are still tickin for soem reason

     

    they are one iof the coolest moving contortionists you will ever see. :) Ive wanted to for some time set up a couple of pest tanks to keep the weird critters like that in

     

    Rick-did your trigger really die you think as a result of the crab?? feeding him to my trigger would be the first thing I do with any crab or odd snail too. sorry to hear :(

  10. I paid $800 custom built for just the canopy a year and a half ago. I needed to replace the current one to match the stand as I wanted more height. it is 21" high.

     

    Its really nice. I will take some pics if I actually find anyone interested in that dimension. Id like to get a hundred ro two out of it, or trade some corals I want or something but to be perfectly honest I have zero use for it and would rather see it used and give it away than cut it up for scrap boards.

     

    I could be persuaded to get rid fo the set, but unless someone wants to pay me a little something.....like $350 or so for the pair I am keeping the stand.

     

    If anyone is interested in that dimension send me an email

  11. Not sure if this falls under the stupid category...stupid reefer maybe. But I had a little accident a couple of months ago with my large niger, who is incidentally one of the most personable fish I have ever had. I have anouther in a different system but this guy really means something to me.

     

    I had recently caught him and took him from the display in order to add a new large fish........he has killed a coupleof new additions recently as he has been getting more aggressive, so I cant add anymore fish to the display without getting him out for awhile.,,

     

    anyway......I had him in the overflow drain half of a hundred gallon sump......I blocked entrance in to the baffle section with eggcrate layed horizontally over the first "over" baffle, weighted down with a 16 oz pyrex measuring cup full of water. sounds pretty solid one would think right?? Then on the other end of the sump the 2" intake bulkhead leading to a hammerhead I had 2 more pieces of eggcrate up against it with a rock weighing it down. I should have had an spa type intake strainer like usual, but it was being used somewhere else.........didnt think he could ever even get over there in the first place so I just put the eggcrate up against it to be sure in case he did.

     

    Well he somehow did not only get through the weighted down eggcrate, but also moved the eggcrate blocking the pump. It was a well set up guard I thought.

     

    I dont know how long he was stuck head first in the 2" intake. If you have ever stuck your hand in front of the intake of a large pump you know how much force is there.......enough to suck your hand in and hardly be able to pull it out and its gonna hurt.

     

    I couldnt get him out his head/body was wedged so tight into the 2" bulkhead. I had to empty that side of the sump and then cut the pipe in order to free the bul;khead, and even then I couldnt get him out and ended up having to cut the bulkhead in half with a dremel to free him.

     

     

    Although still breathing somewhat, I all but counted him as a loss when the ordeal was over. The massive amount of flow torqued backwards through his gills and the extreme bruising and creases exposing flesh......

     

    a week later he was back to letting me slap box him and taking pop shots at my hands if he hadnt been fed that day

     

    believe it...or not.....
