    Anyone need Plexiglass? (Timed)

    HP, KK. I'll be heading to pick it up next Wednesday most likely. And I've built 2 sumps where I've used plexi inside a glass tank with 100% silicone. Had no problem with either one. Saying that, this stuff is so affordable I may try to make a full sump out of it.

    Anyone need Plexiglass? (Timed)

    7I'm not talking about the entire build. I'm just talking about the internals. I'm going to pick up a 40b at the Petco sale and sump it up. Sorta like that Elvis Costello fish song. Also, ran 1/8 in a small 10g sump/refuge a while back which worked very well. Had a test run of a 20gL sump off a...

    Anyone need Plexiglass? (Timed)

    Hi all. Found a guy out in Brielle with a bunch of leftover plexiglass. As I'm building a sump, I contacted him and got some great prices on the pieces he has left over post a local job. Checked, seems legit. All pieces are .25" Here's what he has: 2-12x22 6-24x24 2-24x36 2-24x48 (he quoted me...

    My inexpensive RAP buy..

    Mark, I picked up some phytoplankton and have been mixing in a little bit of Coral Frenzy (assuming any dry coral food will do) then target feeding the gorgon every 3 days or so. The thing is going nuts (plus the other corals are benefiting quite a bit as well). Just an FYI. Mark

    Current USA 36-48 Marine LEDs

    LOL still. Just re-opened the post and thought 'it's like looking at baby pictures'.

    Current USA 36-48 Marine LEDs

    Just wanted to bump this. I saw the LEDS have now dropped to $160 each on Amazon. I just listed them on CL for $200. Anyone here want's them I'll do $150 for both. Need the cash to finish up current tank before new baby comes (want to get a contained sump (Eshopps r100 or r200) and a cabinet...

    Some tank shots

    Thanks. BTW Mark, that last shot was one of the small 5/6 polyp frags I picked up from you about 6 months ago.

    ID help

    Today's WTF moment... I've got a varied CUC with various types of snail and a few red legged hermits. Are those snail eggs on this hermit's shell? Initially I was concerned for some king of parasite or disease, but these things are spaced, are very symmetrical, and seem to have a bit of...

    Some tank shots

    Doing a bit of maintenance and figured I'd fire off a couple of shots. Met a few of you and have described the tank, but never shared any photos. Overhead... Left, center , right - lights off... Left, center, right - lights on... A few pieces...

    Woohoo, a classic! My wife will love the fact that I have something else to dump loads of time and money into!

    My inexpensive RAP buy..

    Mark, Timing is everything. This is weird. Last week I was at the right place at the right time and got a fairly large blueberry gorgon at a fairly small price. Not 10 hours ago, just before bed, I thought... 'self, we have to figure out some stuff about that new coral'. And this morning...

    Current USA 36-48 Marine LEDs

    So I have 2 of these that I had on my 40b when I started. They were excellent. Programming is easy as heck. You can sit back and hit some 'fun' buttons once in a while, via the remote, while watching the tank - such as turning down the room lights, hitting the 'storm' effect button, and playing...

    How I spent RAP

    I'll just stick with excuses and try to be as creative as possible. Hopefully I wont repeat myself over next few years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdUfLIgnXnE

    How I spent RAP

    George, very nice. In 11 months you should casually leave a 'modified' listing of anniversary gifts laying about. I'm sure they'll be quite surprised at 'SPS corals' being a 6th anniversary gift. BTW all, thanks for the wishes. It wasn't a major event nor a bid for sympathy, just felt like s$@t...

    How I spent RAP

    Friday evening I decided to continue on with building my son's swingset. I decided to work on Friday as I expected to be in Secaucus on Saturday. The last I worked on the set was Wednesday. So, Friday I decided to bolt a corner brace to a cross support, just under a 4x4 beam I installed on...

    Hi Dio, Im off towards work right now, I'll post a few great links later tonight (or over the weekend) that I used to get up and running. Its going to be a tough weekend to get many replies from the regulars. There's a huge coral and saltwater show this weekend up in the Secaucus convention...

    2x Anems and 3x Mangroves in Brick

    Roger that, all spoken for. I'll be at RAP on Saturday morning, volunteering if possible. Will have the anems in a decent size tupperware container and hope for the best.
