He may be looking for a place in the sand bed to plant his foot.

Whats up Chris,this is David.I recently joined the club. I liked the photos man.Anyways what kind of MH's did you get?

No not yet I need a good carpenter and electrician.Know any good ones that can give me a good price ? OHHHHHHHThere's another side to this. :sunny:

I did join read my post.

I forgot to mention I have a piece of white PVC for trade or sale.If trading I need 1.)more live rock or 2.)a pump to run my Kent Nautilus TE skimmer or 3.)some clean -up critters.If buying I am looking to get $30.The PVC is about 25" tall with a 6" diameter.I was going to use it to try to build a skimmer but I have one now.LMK if anyone is interested.

Cool Thanks I have actually met Chris and he was a big help .I would like to know if there are any electricians or carpenters that are members as well.If so could someone refer me to them?

Hello and thanks for the reply I live in N.E. Washington,D.C. My tank is still in the planning stages and I am gathering my items before I jump in That is what I have so far.

Hello fellow reefers I am a new member.I just joined and I am excited to be here.Currently I am in the process of setting up a 180 gallon total water system( 125 gallon main tank-w/55 gallon sump/refugium).I have 2-175w MH retro lights and a 55 watt compact flourescent light set-up I am putting together.I will be running a Kent Nautilus TE Protein skimmer and about a 2-4 inch sand bed.I have about 100 lbs of live and base rock now(About 30 lbs of it is live rock the rest is base).I will be adding about 20-30 more lbs of live rock.This will be an in-wall set-up.I want this to be a reef set-up with fish and a few corals tossed through out the rockwork.Haven't decided on what fish yet.But I just wanted to say hello and tell everyone about my soon to come set-up.

Is the live sand still available?If so I can send you a shipping label to cover shipping to me if possible.LMK.My email address is dmward99@yahoo.com

I think I like the sound of a 1.5" size hole for the 900GPH flow rate.Thanks both of you for your help.Although if I am not able to get that size hole drilled I may take the 1" hole offer.

Hey thanks for the reply Gary,I was wondering if you think the 1 inch hole(which will be my overflow from my main tank to my sump) would be enough to handle my 4-3/4" return lines?I was looking for a 2" overflow hole or very close to it.What do you think?

Hello all I have been reading your site for a while ( will be joining soon :D )and was wondering if anyone out there had a glass drill to drill holes into tanks?My dad gave me what he said was a glass drill bit to drill holes in my tank but I have no clue as how to do this.If someone could drill a few holes into my tank and has the drill they are welcome to use the bits to do some drilling of their own tanks.Since I am not sure if this is a glass drill bit I can snap some pics of the bits for anyone interested and you tell me which way we can go with this.Email me at dmward99@yahoo.com

You can also try Ultimate saltwater aquarium in Fort Washington .They do custom design aquariums as well.There website is www.usaquariums.net..They recently did the saltwater tank at the new Caps Boulevard,Magic Johnson Theater up in Largo.

Bump for somebody in D.C.

Cool, is there anyone else a little closer or in DC that can help me out with a little sand or good algae to get my sump started?I don't want to ask a fish store for fear of introducing some disease into my tank and then having to treat it.

Can I pay you guys for shipping to 20019?How much?

Bob I replied back to phil about where exactly he is in regards to D.C. I am not familiar with that area.Sorry But I would love to meet one of you or both of you somewhere closer if one of you work in or closer to the city or maybe a mall or something.I don't want to worry you but in your travels around that area maybe.LMK

Thanks Phil for the offer.Can you tell me about how far from D.C. you are exactly?Not real familiar with that area?maybe I could meet you somewhere out there in your travels.Do you work closer to the city?

Hello to everyone on this site .I am pretty new to reefs and all and I need a little help.I am setting up my tank( 125 show and 55 sump/refugium) and was wondering if I could get a cup of some live sand from a few different tanks to help seed my rocks and sand and get it cycling along.I would prefer peeps in D.C. or within a 10-15 minute drive of D.C. so that I could pick up or meet.I really want some from a few different so that I could get a variety of life.Thanks.I can be reached by email or phone at 202-645-7167.I am David ,email is dmward99@yahoo.com
