Yes we can ship

Very nice!

 

My Regal would love your tank

would probably explode from over eating!!!

Meant to ask what camera/lens combo and depth of water were the shots taken.

My old Canon Rebel with a 17-85mm Canon lens..... shots were either top down or from the front..... at least 20" + away.  

I would love a new camera body and a 100mm fixed Canon red line lens!!!  that would give me the close up ability with a way more modern sensor!!

I'll snap some pictures, and send them to both of you. Something pretty simple prefer a more modern look to match the rest of the house. Either replacing the current paneling, so more of a skin, or a complete new stand. Either works for me, and depends on what is suggested by someone more knowledgeable than myself. 

 

 

I bought the tank in the classifieds that is 30"x30", but the stand is 40"x30"x43"(LxWxH). It holds a 40g breeder, hence the larger size. 

Honestly... i suggest you have spectra build you a metal stand and then have Brian skin it.  You WILL NOT be unhappy, and will own a furniture quality stand that anyone would be proud to have in their home!

i have done enough myself to know that if you want a quality good looking stand, it takes time and skills...... i don't have the skills.... so it takes me forever!!!

Thank you for the kind words!!

Here's a few more...need more practice!!

..  I eventually will get around to posting our full system....  but yeah...  need to finish building it first.  

Been quite awhile since i have busted out the camera on the tank.  I had forgotten how much of a pain it could be...  so 3 million shots later.... a couple turned out ok.  

Thanks for lookin!!

I know some people with plumbers crack!!

These are great lights....  GLWS.

Some info about the lights....  Mr Bret and I have been running a set(s) of these Alphas now for a couple of years...  0 diode\fan\power supply failures.  These can be altered to fit whatever diodes you want as well.

16"x8"x2"- 120w

Full spectrum LED light- 9 different color diodes.

- One piece all aluminum body. 
- Module design- great for upgrade and simple to work with. It is like a really nice DIY unit.
- UL approved Meanwell driver
- 4 channels ramping capabilities, so blending spectrum is endless.
- True sunrise to sunset effect.
- Flash mode, cloud mode, show mode, DIY mode, manual mode, and sunrise mode.
- Glass cover to protect diode from saltwater
- Diode is mounted on MCPCB board- better heat transfer- better cooling- more efficient the diode works.
- Brushless fan speed is controlled by LEDs intensity- so at night you with the low light intensity you will not hear the fan.
- Light unit comes with hanging kit that can tilt and adjust height. 
- Hanging point that is able to slide for adjustments and works with the rack system for multiple lights.

Hope you had a wonderful birthday!!!  

Thank you!

All i did was make some posts....  i need to take some pics!!!

What size are they?  24"?

I am sure Mr. Bret will chime in as well,....  But i want to say....  THANK YOU!   I appreciate the kind words about our corals.  Sorry i couldn't make it today.

Hi Softy,

 

That would be most excellent, if something doesn't make it, it doesn't make it. When would be a good time to bring everything over???   

I will ping Bret.... i had a really rough day of travel last night coming home from Indy..... 

Can you ship? I'd be into a nice JoL frag and maybe a nice lil zoa frag. I live in grants pass. Dm if possible

Sure do...  i believe it's $25 for overnight in OR.

Hey softy,

Well it's been 2yrs and the rain still feels like.....rain.  Thanks for the encouragement.....any room in ya'll tank for a few coral's??

We have the room..... But like I said, I do t want to be on the hook if something doesn't make it. Our systems are actually better than ever right now... Still scurred

Cool, I did not know that!  Something I can actually buy in Longview without driving to PDX...

Yep. Glue and applicator.... Used it to build my PVC photo tube

nope.... last one will be the October Pics....  and those  I will require multiple pics... and clean enough to be able to see every head.  No blurry shots on the last set of pics.

Ace Hardware will have everything you need if you have one of those close by.

yeah....  IMO that's a roll of the dice on whether you will end up doing more harm than good. 

I cannot rise to that challenge without serious photoshop skills, but will post pics!!

LOL o man.....  you know I will now edit your pic..... just cause!!!  

Might be easier and less stressful to just sell and start with new corals when you settle in.

Would have to agree with this!!!  I would offer, but I am scurrred that something would happen and I would be on the hook to replace the corals. 

Let's see some friggin awesome growth!!!!

hey Bimmerzs....  you are a gypsy aren't you!!     didn't you just get up here from Texas!?!  lol  best of luck finding a temp home.

Apologies Softy, you were right there with him and showing me the collection.  Also got the Oregon Mummy Eye.  You two had a treasure trove!

No apology necessary!  There are quite a few of you new peeps around here.....  Which is freaking awesome!!   Just giving a heads up that we are a zoa hording duo!

What really sucked for us for the expo....  most everything did not open up!  they waited until we got back to the shop and set things back up until we had a chance to get the coral back into the frag tank.  As soon as we set the expo tank back up....added the same water from the event back in the tank.... then... only then did they start opening.  I guess we have some shy corals!!  

ok... officially derailed this thread!  Sorry.....   So yes... we have some Jack o lantern.....  we also have some burning banana frags..... and a bunch of zoos...
