That's about an hour drive each way and something like 42 miles each way. My work reimburses me for my mileage at the federal rate of $0.51 x 84 = $42.81 and that's just mileage not my time and I work for about double that an hour. If you'd like to pick them up you're more than welcome to...

I can check with USPS, but would need to get packing materials etc and haven't packed/shipped myself before.

I just got off the phone w/ my LFS and they were saying it would depend on how many boxes(fish) you wanted but it broke down to about $50/box and he said 20 fish was about 2 boxes. I can check with the other LFS and see if any of them can give a better price.

Sounds good to me, I'd be more than happy to ship them to you. I'll post some pictures and if there are any you're interested in let me know and I'll get a quote on shipping from an LFS.

More than willing, I'll keep you in mind as I begin to tear down the tank.

I'd probably be able to ship them or have an LFS do it as long as you're willing to pay for the shipping costs.

They're mostly mbuna, I'm not sure on their exact species or names, but I'll try my best to identify them for you as many as I can. Going off of the species chart here 1 x L. caeruleus 1 x M. auratus 1 x M. estherae Different source: 2 x 2 x Gephyrochromis acei 1 x Pseudotropheus zebra...

Putting together a new reef tank and I want to take down some of my other tanks, the first one to come down is going to be my African Cichlids tank. I'm willing to sell all together or part out but if parting out I need to sell the livestock first. $1/each African Cichlids range in size from...

Thanks, I'm putting a lot of work/research into it and have been refinishing the stand when I've had free time to make sure I do as much as possible right the first time. In the end I'd like it to be a a mixed reef setup.

I found a listing on craigslist for a chiller that's the same size as what I've been looking for, he says that his tank cracked ad that's why he's selling it. He's also selling the cracked tank for use with reptiles or the like so I'm inclined to believe him. It's the right size for my...

Yep, FOWLR for a couple months while I save up another $700 for the lights to go reef.

Any thoughts on these LEDs from CAD Lighting as they're only about $200 more than the fixtures I was looking at and the first time I have to change the bulbs in 6-8 months is going to cost me almost that anyways.

Thanks for the input guys, I think I've pretty much settled on T5's being the way to go, just need to figure out which fixture now.

Convinced my girlfriend to do just that. I might be building an ATO for that space now though.

Sorry about that I didn't realize that I was supposed to post that in the general hardware discussion forum as I was looking specifically for advice on reef lighting.
