Guest Rileyporter August 25, 2006 August 25, 2006 Hey guys, So I am still very new to the reef scene but am learning alot here. This weekend the wife is leaving and its just me and my tank stuff. I have got 2 setups of pretty much everything from 2 different people and was wondering if there was any memebers around the silver sping area that would like to come over this weekend on SAT for some pizza and a few beers to help me get this all setup in an efficient manner.(rock placement and stuff) I guess there are just lots of questions and could use a little experienced help. Also for anyone in need of some tools to use I could hook you guys up. I build furniture and could help you guys come over and build a custom hood. (granted I have never built a hood before but I know how to do woodworking) I have the basics (router, table saw, miter saw, jig, finisher nailer etc) If anyone is interested give me a call. You would be helping out a newb! 559.967.6418 - Its a Ca. cell ( I just moved here from out of state) or Email me. Rileyporter@gmail.com Riley Porter
rocko918 August 25, 2006 August 25, 2006 I will try and see if I can get Chris to come over, he has about 14 years experience. you talking about Phisig? 14 years? Riley Porter- Put where you are located in you profile so people do ask you where you live.
Guest Rileyporter August 25, 2006 August 25, 2006 If you are available on Sunday maybe you can come over and take a look at my tanks and get some ideas. I have been thinking about adding a hood and so is n8dogggg. He is around here somewhere. He is working on building a sump also. So if you want to get some tips and help us out and well as maybe give us some tips on hoods that would be great. I have one 55gallon coral and sea horse tank. I also have a 55 gallon predator tank which has a banded moray, grouper, trigger, and a big damsel. I have a 220gallon downstairs that is cycling right now and has no life in it. But if you wanna see it or learn about chemicals we can do that. N8doggg and I have been in the hobby for about 4 to 5 months so we are learning also. Please ask alot of questions here there are alot of ideas and good advice. I will try and see if I can get Chris to come over, he has about 14 years experience. Dude that sounds cool. You got my number and email we can setup something up. Also FYI I work until 4pm today in a building that doesnt allow cells so email is better right now. Riley
rsaavedra August 25, 2006 August 25, 2006 Dude that sounds cool. You got my number and email we can setup something up.

I guess my social cordinator, Tom C., has us getting together on Sunday. If you're up for the hike, I'm up for the woodwork. I'm about 3 months new to this hobby, so the best advice I will be able to give you is the advice I have received from the more experienced WAMAS members. Oh and congrats on having the tank and the weekend to yourself!

rsaavedra August 25, 2006 August 25, 2006 I have a SCIF in my building and it sucks! I work for REF under DOD in Fort Belvoir.
dandy7200 August 26, 2006 August 26, 2006 Good call! It will likely be 2 weeks before I can come up and drill your tank. Talk to these guys when they come over about differant ways that it can be done, amount of flow you want, overflow or no, where you want it in the tank, durso, stockman, etc, etc. They will surely fill your head with many ideas and things that you have not thought of yet that delve much deeper into this hobby than simply put hole in tank. Then once you have a idea of the direction you want to go I'll make you a plumbing supply list to get and we can geterdone.
