Wiping drool off my screen now!!!

I can't take the suspense any longer. What did you bring in today? Any pics of what you got yesterday? Thanks, Ron

Some cool zoas.

Orion, The diameter of the base of the pump is 1 7/8" and the pump is about 4" tall. I've had the 3152 for about a month and it works great so far. Only problem is if you have a small tank with plastic trim at the top. With the magnet mount, the water level will be about 3/4" below the top of the magnet. I have a standard 10 gal Perfecto tank and the bottom of the plastic trim is only about 3/8" below the inside plastic lip. So the water level would be about 3/8" below the bottom of the plastic trim. I don't like to see the water line below the trim, so I built an acrylic housing that hangs on the side of the tank and allows the magnet to sit higher so the water line is hidden by the plastic trim. This would not be a problem with a rimless tank or when using a sump. My 10 gal is temporary and I will have a sump on my new tank, so it will not be an issue once I upgrade. The 3152 only has one float switch, but the controller is programed to shut the pump off after 1.8 minutes to keep from flooding in case the float switch gets stuck. I tested it before I hooked it up to the tank and the pump shut off as it was supposed to. Hope this helps, Ron

I'll take 6. One of each color please. Thanks Richard. Ron

Visited Richard today to check out his set up. He had lots of nice corals, especially LPS. Picked up a couple of zoa frags and some nassarius snails. Prices were great and he was a super nice guy. I will definitely be buying more corals from him in the future. Very happy to support a local business that is friendly with great prices. Best of luck with getting a store front set up later this year. Now for a couple of pics of the zoas that I picked up. Zoas are not open all the way yet in the pics, but you can still see the nice colors. The first frag has 5 polyps and the second frag has at least 20 polyps on it. Sorry for the crappy iPhone pics. Thanks again Richard. I'll be back for sure. Ron
