Chris-

reeferindc - Very valid points, and soon, but, I know who NOT to sit next to when I get my house, finally have the freedom to go awall and have to attend Reefaholic Anonomous meetings, lol.

YHSublime - I doubt too many people look in the wanted sections, but, being as small as we are and are all in one nitch, I figured this would be the best place but wasnt sure if there was a wanted section. I want to join but that $20 culd also go to a bulb. Once I get my house, I will bath in the glory of all things fish with $$ flying left and right. As of now, I am on a house mission with a sdie of replacement halides, lol. JR-Tanked150 -Yea, I want to rejoin but I have trying to stay low out of the buying radar. I have a 125 tank and only 3 gobies in it. I have been forcing myself not to buy ANYTHING, but, for the sake of the corals I do have, I have no choice on the bulbs. Its about a year if not more and the bulbs were used when I got them.

Well, as long as you "techniclly" dont "break" anything, I always say go for it. Worst that can happen when you get stuck is you have to call someone. Glad to see "you" got her going, thats one more personal nail in the fish building coffin and feels goooooood, congrats. Dont worry about the aquascape, it will drive you basically crazy forever. There are too many options which all (okay, most) look great. Hopefully you will find one you like a deal with it. I want to change my tank around everytime I change it. I just finally had to sit on my hands.

My life has been redeemed so I am watching this thread so keep us informed.

I am looking for some 150w DE blbs in the 14k range and went to see if there was a "wanted" section. Trying to get an idea of color and brightness ( I know halides dull over time) before I buy some. Since I am not a member anymore, I cant see the for sale section. I also cant remember if there was a wanted section either. I am not really looking to buy, per say, I was just wondering if anyone was done with thier 150w 14k DE's and were gonna toss them. Would just want to barrow them for a little bit and would even bring them back when done. I know, I know, its not much to re-join, but, I keep spending all my "useable" money on fish stuff and sticking the rest of it away for a house. Being a single household income earner around here is murder and you (least I have to) count the money $1 at a time. So, along with this shamless one time plug, can someone also tell me, and refrsh my memory, if there is a "wanted" section here?

Oh, son of a bleep!! I just see this, missed the Expo show and the gathering...........I missed everything. Thats it!!! No more working for me. Working is way over rated, I am missing out on too much.

Man, sure would like to have the goniopra frag but looks like I am a little too late :(

Licensed electrician? Well, that just took all the fun out of it right there!

Was going to say a few things but its hard to dispute facts, if in fact that is fact, which I am not saying it isn't. The least TANKED (and other shows) could do would be to give proper steps and facts as they edit along. I don't care how god a company is, there not going to be able to change biological facts.

No, I think your right because I have those also and the shells are completely different. Since the baby looking ones had spiral shells like the trochus (and white), I was hoping thats what baby trochus's looked like and they would morph a little more when they got older. A good snail is a good snail though.

Well, thats good but fooo, I was hoping they were trocus snail babies. Oh well, the shrimp spawned so I guess the cigars will still be able to be put to use.

I have 3 schedule 80 1 1/2" slip/thread I would sell you for $30. One has been cut but if you cement a fitting onthe back end, it isnt going anywhere. Cut one (obviously)

Odd(?) this was mentioned as I found these on my tank sides and a few other places. Def not stomatellas. Notice the algae on them? Looks like they have been around for a while, a good 2-3 weeks at least? I sucked up 4 of them with the turkey baster and put them in a basic 6"x6" tupaware bowl. I copied and pasted one of the letering on the bottom to give you a scale size of the baby. Guess I need to go out and buy cigars???

Yea, they are really cool guys. Grabbed a Randall goby off them, good price. Need to figure out how to get hm out of my diamond gobys home though, grrrrrrrrrrrrrr, lol.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwww!!! I always seee baby............somethings. I dont know if they are stomatellas, or something else. Then they vanish off the glass and I never see them again.

lol, I was just about to ask..

Well, you could always scoop them up and sell them to a fancy resturant as snail caviar!?

Picked up a 12 x 36" bulb 72" T5HO unit that I am going to convert to a 6 bulb individual on/off setup. I was wondering if anyone has any fried 60" T5HO bulb laying around they are about to throw out? I would like to use them before you toss them as a mockup for the bulbs. I plan to pull out two of the end cap rails and adjust the other two to fit the 60" bulbs. I want to see and make sure I can set this thing up like I want it before running out and buying bulbs. If your in the Fairfax area and have a few dead bulbs, please PM me, thanks.

Show off's!!

Well, that "blows"! Get it? I guess until then, gonna have to nurse it along. Seriously though, hope you get er back on its feet soon.

Doggy vet bills, insurance, rent, groceries, gas........... I did come to the WAMAS meeting and stick around for the presentation though.

Well, i really need some today as I lost my acro and my brain is shredding. Everything else is great????? Sounds like a plan, thanks everyone.

About that time for a bucket o salt for a tank water change and I needs me some salt. Was wondering whats out there I may have missed?

Cool, thanks, I wil check into it. I really need to get me a roomate so I dont have to worry about miniscule prices, lol, but its also fun making stuff also like a mad scientist.

I cant seem to find Dowflake or magnesium chloride hexahydrate sold by the Dead Sea Works this time of year. I might not be looking in the right place, but...... Anyone know where to find locally?
