I've been a wamas member for around a month now and have really met some great people in this short period of time. My dad had a SW tank when I was young but didn't really know what he was doing, kept fish only, and ended quickly. I have now been keeping Freshwater for quite some time but finally took the plunge into the saltwater hobby a couple months ago. I am currently running the following equipment: 56g Marineland Column Reef Octopus bh1000 skimmer (3) Koralia 750's Aquaclear 70 running Chemipure Elite only. 2 Crappy Fluval Heaters (2) Kessil a150w 15,000k LED's I have purchased a sump and overflow kit, not I just need to get my hands on a return so I can get a sump going. The tank is stocked with the following: (1) Foxface (2) Juvenile occ clowns (1) Six Line Wrasse (2) Peppermint Shrimp (1) Acan Crab Some Mexican Turbos Some Hermits Some Nassarius Snails Random other snails 75 lbs live rock Purple Clove Polyps Unknown Acan Xenia RBTA Pink Tipped Condylactis Anemone Many heads of Frogspawn Many Zoas and Palys Grinch Monti Rainbow Lobo Gold Torch Superman Monti GSP Sunset In July Chalice Trumpet Green Birdsnest Hollywood Stunner Chalice Dragon Soul Favia Crappy iPhone pics to follow.....

Ugh. Except sideways.

Much better in person. Crappy iPhone pic. This one should be better:

I'm being told it's a rainbow oxypora chalice named "Streamline Dream". $275 for the horizontal striped one and $300 for the other, plus $50 shipping.

Next question..... Can you guess what it's being sold for?

Really? It's not looking too hot right now. I thought it was a goner for sure. But that's for a separate thread I guess.

My new RBTA has decided that Xenia has no place in this tank. Poor Xenia.

Honestly, its not much trouble as they deliver to my office every few days and I have a simple way of ordering. Also, no need for you to pick up at my office, I live in Montgomery Village and my office is in Columbia.

Shoot me a list via PM. Part numbers will make it easiest.

Lets hope her little brother that I just picked up from Almon doesn't have the same "restless foot syndrome".

Thomas Summerville might help too.....

I'm in the pool business, forget about pool stores. I'm thinking you might be talking about Browning Pools? I don't think they'd have it. Go to Harringtons website if Furgesons doesn't have it and if you find it there I can get it at about 50% of list and free next day drop off to my office. You could pick it up from me in Gaithersburg if so. If you ever need something from Contemporary, make sure you ask for Howard, he owns the place. Hopefully he wasn't the one you talked to but he makes mistakes sometimes as well.

Furgesons might carry. I use a distributor that's in Elkridge called Harrington Plastics, they'd definitely have whatever you need.

I have a couple offers from people that have done it before so that should help. Also, I have drilled quite a bit of tile for showers and it shouldn't be much different. Honestly it might be easier.

Plan B is to store in buckets/rubbermaids while I run like a bat out of H-E-double hockey sticks to purchase a new tank.

Thanks!

Do you have any Asian grocery stores in the area? H Mart is one of them. The one by my house has it.

It is, I went through that and it was a B. Still a good one

She can pay for my gas..... PA is far

We'll see, I'll just bring a 50 pounder with me and we can break into the rest if need be Do me a favor, shoot me a text tomorrow morning to remind me to throw a bag in my car.

Or could we have the ability to add a starch to our fish's diet,

I got you covered on the chlorine removal. I have a couple thousand pounds of sodium thiosulfate. We can mix a highly concentrated batch inside the vat, let that sit, which will eliminate any chlorine residual, then we can rinse that.

Lol irritable foot syndrome, that's a good one.

I want one of those!

Sweet!
