  1. Thanks for the offer Bret, very kind of you.

     

    Being these aren't going to see a lot of heavy duty use I think I'll just go hit up Harbor Freight... Hillsboro is quite the drive from here and it'll probably cost less than the gas to get out there... Freaking $4.00 a gallon just blows me away

  2. Usually ammonia in those levels, in a well established tank, means something has died and is rotting away. You probably have some Nitrites also.

     

    If your newly mixed SW is close in parameters (PH, Alk, Cal and Temp) to your tank IMHO you could a 40%-50% change

  3. No not my first time but I love seeing them. I am looking at doing a dive or two while I am here. I have been a certified diver since I was 12' date=' so almost 15 years now. I will defidently be checking out this places everyone is recommending. Here on my honeymoon so I don't get to spend all my time in the water this time. I would love to go to jamica. I also want to make the red sea and great barrier reef at least once. Should do pnwmas dive trip.[/quote']

     

    Grats on the Honeymoon! That's where myself and the wife went for ours... Last year we did our 4th trip for the 20th anniversary. I think Kona is on the list for the next trip

  4. Black Rock is a great little spot but there's always a lot of people there (It's on the beach at the Sheridan In the Kaanapali Resort area) I was told last year that it's mating season for the Spotted Eagle Ray after seeing two (on consecutive days) swim directly under me there.

     

    There's another great spot not far from there.. Honolua Bay, just head north on the highway out of Lahaina. Once you're past all the resorts and such look for a paved parking area on the left, it's right on the road, and you're there. Not as much coral as places like Turtle Beach but there's more fish diversity than you'll see at Molokini (mostly black tangs... lots and lots of Black Tangs) or Black Rock

  5. I just did a lighting upgrade so it's time to get rid of the TEK light

     

    Used 10 months, in great shape, comes with a splash shield and hanging kit.

     

    Asking $150: Total Retail is over $350 new

     

    (Does not come with leg kit pictured on the tank)

  6. I drilled 8 holes in my 120 with no problems. I have a couple bits around here... I think for 3/4" and 1.5" bulkheads (I'd have to check to be sure I have them both)

     

    If you wanted to borrow them you'd be welcome to.

     

    If you wanted some help/supervision I'd be happy to come by being you're so close. Of course you'd have to do the drilling as I wouldn't want to be responsible. But, like I say it wasn't a problem on my tank
