5 fish, about 50lbs of Live rock and whatever snails and crabs are still alive since I was there last.
I've done the round trip in a day, it sucks but it can be done. I just don't have an open weekend I can do it until Christmas.

I have thought about that, but the cost of shipping everything is about at much as it would cost to replace it all. I just started building the room for my Tank here, I can probably just have the fish shipped here and put them in my tank. If there is still a reputable fish store near Brick maybe...
I don't know where to post this thread so I'll start here and if it needs moved somewhere else mods feel free to do so.
I moved from NJ to Cleveland 2.5 years ago, prior to that I was pretty active on this board trading frags fish etc. I loved the NJ community, and miss how great everyone was...
Awesome selection and great prices.
He has better and more to offer than most the stores around here. Great deals, if you're from up north it's worth the drive for sure.
Thanks again, I found a home for everything and most are opening up already.
I just spent 20 min trying to find mine he is wedged in a spot I never would have thought he could get in. He has only been in the tank a few hours and doing the same hiding act most do. From what i gather this is pretty normal and after a week or so they get more courageous....I hope!
It give a really nice even return flow this with a Koralia 3 and a 4 I don't see any dead spots. I am very OCD about cleaning and I make sure the syphon break hole is clear 4 or 5 times a week nothing yet. The hole has a steady flow out so it would be very noticeable if it became clogged.
Starting to show some life in the tank:

It is hard to tell but there is a cave that runs the length of the bigger rock pile. the Yellow tang loves to go back and forth in the tunnel.
This weekend I hooked up a Mag 7 to a skimmer and it doesn't seem to be very weak. My question is do the magnets wear out over time on these pumps? Is it possible I just need a new impeller for it or are they just not all that powerful of pumps?
You are correct just the caps have holes drilled in them. Before I filled the tank I ran water up from the sump and tried different sizes and numbers of holes in each cap to try and get a fairly even amount from each cap. The three at the far end got a little more flow. I have an inline one way...

I was there twice last week. They have some cool stuff to look at.
It should you did all the pretty rock work.
When I got home tonight the water was crystal clear I thought for sure it would be cloudy and smelling of death.
The Skimmer was waiting for me when i got home tonight now I just have to figure out what fittings I will need from Lowes to hook it up.
WELL I did it I now have pet rocks of my very own!
I haven't updated this thread in a while so here is what I have done since I updated last.
1. Hooked up the RO/DI not that it was all the hard or time consuming. I still want to get one more section of hose so I can dump the drain water...
