thanks for the heads up beckie

ill go ahead and describe the frag tank im looking to build, its going to be an AIO, 30"x12"x12", overall, with 20x12 of that being used for frag trays, and then the final 10x12 will be split into 2 compartments for filtration, its kinda hard to fully describe, but, when its fully done, i think you guys an gals will be quite impressed by it.

if the sponsor around longview is jj's its gone, they had a going out of business sale this weekend, and after being in there and dealing with the rudeness of the person working in there, i can honestly say that even if they werent going out of business, they will never have my business again

rick, this is a [language filter] nice set up, i might just have to enlist your help when i start building mine, my frag tank for sure is going to be acrylic, simply because it is a frag tank, and with the design im using, acrylic does work the best, but, im not so convinced on acrylic or glass for the DT

thanks for giving me the heads up to this

sweet, thanks rick, i was actually told today at the home depot in jansen beach to check out tap plastic, and im pretty sure thats the place my father in law suggested to me, thanks for the heads up man.

and glass is an option, i was lookin at the acrylic simply because of the weight, im trying to save as much weight as i can on this since it is going to be upstairs

about 15-20 minutes north of battleground washington, roughly 30 minutes from vancouver and roughly 45 minutes from portland, about 20-30 minutes south of lake merwin/cougar area

thanks michael, im just really hoping to find people near the yacolt area, having to drive into portland to go to stores just aint fun you know? it'd be nice to have a store near me, but, i doubt that'll happen anytime soon lol.

im hoping to convince my better half i can attend this so i can meet all of you guys an gals, but, getting her to agree to that might be like paddling upriver with no paddles

if you guys can afford them, id suggest looking at multiple, 2-4 vortech mp 40's, with the controller that allows you to control all 4 of them, if you go with that many, it will make things extremely simple, and allow you to alternate, simulate, and adjust flow with the touch of a button

thanks for the heads up ciao, unfortunately, i cant go nearly that big, about the biggest i could do is a 40x18x18 at the tallest tank, and im looking at making it no taller than 12", thats why im wanting to custom do it

hey guys and gals, im quite new to the site, just joined yesterday i think it was, and just wanted to introduce myself.

ive got a 20 long saltwater reef tank currently that im slowly working on putting the pieces together to upgrade to a 40 breeder, or something similar, looking into possibly building it myself out of either 1/2" or 3/4" acrylic, with a 20 long, or similar, sump, along with a custom built frag tank that should be capable of holding 50-100 frags.

im still looking for places to buy the acrylic along with the weld-on #4 that ill need, so if anyone in the vancouver/portland area knows of a good place to pick up acrylic sheets, pre-cut would be nice, please let me know.

my current stock list on my 20 long is a bar goby and a melanarus wrasse, with purple deaths, purple fisions and standard brown button polyps, along with hairy mushrooms, regular mushrooms, and 2 yumas, with roughly 30lbs of live rock.

all that will be moved into the new tank, and my new frag tank that i plan on building is going to be an AIO that ive designed myself, i know it will work as a friend in texas has the exact tank, just on a larger scale, and its working perfectly for his frags.

im a frequent customer of rose city aquariums, for me, they're the nicest store around, both stock wise, price wise, and most definitely customer service wise.

once i do get the new tank set up, along with the new frag tank, ill be doing a large order from vivid for some of their high end zoas, as that is my thing, and once i get them growing and have them fragged up, i will gladly sell them to anyone here, at a much discounted price from what vivid charges.

like most of the people here who do sell frags, im not in it to get rich, i just would like to be able to fund my saltwater addicition by selling the frags, so you will not see outrageous prices on my stuff.

thanks

ive found that the rods food is simply spectacular when it comes to coral growth i purchase mine from rose city, an nick always seems to have a great supply in, and on top of that, he's a great guy to deal with
