Man Joel I am jealous what a setup, well done, keep up the good work.

Thanks Doran

Did the illegal macro algae rhyme with Barijuana? If not then I assume noone will be knocking down any doors to get to it.

It is 20k 250 watt, price is very much negotiable, I have really no clue, sorry.

I have just taken my MH off of my 35, it was retrofitted, comes with quick disconnects and a quite new bulb. Here are the pics, sorry they were taken with my phone so they arent very impressive. Shoot me an offer.

Thanks!

Sorry if I am becoming a pain, I just want to get a good setup. I am seeking advice on where to go from here: I have the 55 setup as a reef right now, I have a wet/dry under it that I have taken the bioballs out of and turned into a sump. I am thinking of taking my 35 and turning it into a refugium, running the 55 to the sump to the 35 then back over to the 55. Is this a good idea or no? I am assuming the sump is just overkill and will be needless to the setup but I figure since it is already there I might as well use it. Any thoughts?

Thanks again for all the help!

No, but sort of, I guess he will for a couple days to a week then I am giving him back to Patrick. I have had these guys before in my previous 350 setup, fun with a couple of them.

My classroom tank has pcs, the first bulbs blew about a month ago so I have just been running 1, the last 1 went out today. Does anyone have a loaner for about a month I could use?

Thank you! Oh and the kids saved up for a shark egg which we picked up for super cheap from Patrick at Fantaseas today. I am sure they will flip out when this thing hatches.

Update: "Sold"

Looks great, what size sump are you going to run down there, 1 of the 55s?

Thanks everyone! This will be a great start, I will be happy to frag these off for more people in the future.

PMs Have been sent, thanks again!

Nice Krux, when you frag a few clams I will write a story about it for you. Think about it: you can be the first

Here is a wish list of corals I would like to get for my home/classroom tanks. I would like to get some faster growing corals for my home tank that I can frag for my classroom in the near future. I am still waiting to transfer my 40 out and 35 w/halides in, so they will all be going to the home tank until I do the switch.

1. Ricordea(s)

2. Softs, leathers

3. Clam(s)

4. RBT or frankly any anenome known to have luck hosting with clowns

5. I have never had experience with SPS and run T-5s at home so I would prefer to wait on these until I feel more up to speed on them

I already have frogspawn I can frag for the tank, a hairy mushroom, green star polyps, galaxia, some xenia, so if you have anything else you would like to frag at a low cost I am all ears.

Thanks and God Bless!

I am an idiot, thanks for noticing. DOH! They are PCs, I dont even know how I came up with VHOs on this one. Sorry

I have no idea what I could/should get for it. My wish list in terms of trades:

1. New T-5 Bulbs

2. Have my aquarium buffed

3. Have my T-5s retrofitted

4. shrimp goby/pistol shrimp (or other reef safe fish for that matter)

5. A refugium setup 20-40 gallons

I understand this is pretty detailed but this is all I am looking for for my home tank. My school tank isnt set up yet so I dont have a wish list that includes it.

I just got a T-5 in a trade from Kris today and am looking to sell my PCs. It is made by current and has a total wattage of 260 (4-65 watts) Shoot me over an offer.

Thanks!

I would possibly be willing to give you my 40 gallon setup that I am trying to sell. It has a refugium and actinics. Shoot me over a pm and we can talk.

Thanks and best of luck!

last pic is sweet, its an ulua (the larger blue fish next to the threadfin butterfly), thats the prize spearfishing fish, I stoned a 110 lb one a couple years back, brings back memories, thanks for showing these.

oh sweet and some weke in the 4th pic (white goatfish), also a good fish to spear, man this about makes me emotional and hungry.

jeez CA20R, I post a lot and only have 33 posts since I joined last month. How in the world do you have over 1900 and you have only been around a month more than me? That is wild, is that true?

It most definitely is acrylic and I am using a buffing kit starting tomorrow, but from the people I have spoken to, it has been stated that I am better off using this as a sump and looking for a new tank. I don't expect to find one for cheap but I thought I would put the feelers out there. I can live with a badly scratched tank, just not at all preferable.

I got pretty much the shaft on the tank I just bought and am coming to realize that it will take about a year to get all the scratches out of this one. If anyone has a 55 glass or acrylic with built in overflow that is in GOOD shape and would like to get rid of it: please shoot me over a pm, I am interested.

Thanks!

I have had quite a few of these straight from the ocean in Hawaii and they were probably 1 of the easiest fish to care for. I never had any problems with parasites, no problems with them competing for food, they were a great addition as a top water fish and were always a presence in the front of my tanks. I can't recall ever losing one and I probably owned over a dozen all together.

awesome post JADAMS. Thanks for the help everyone.

Nice man, looks great, keep us posted. (Im the guy from Fantaseas yesterday)
