Cmor Thanks for the info. We'd make sure to call ahead, so they can have a good selection. we'd send them a deposit, if the deal was sweet enough. We wouldn't expect anyone to order extra stock only to have a/the party become a no-show. Right on with the BR. There will be a lot of rock...

Cmor I checked out their web site....sounds like a good source. I'm going to email them to find out prices and possible discount on large order ;BR,LR,LS. Also I'll ask if hand picking is allowed. Nancy figures $80-$100 fuel cost round trip from VT. They have weekend hours, so traffic...

holy crap..............must have keyed something whilst I put down my glass of milk. I emailed & called Marco rock.... they're on the Cape.... a 2 day getaway...with fun for wife [just get away and 'do' something/ travel!!!] They never responded........F'm. Dr. Mac @ Pacific East in MD...

Well this thread peaked my attention, as I'm looking for a lot of BR/LR. Maybe going a great distance to hand pick one or two pieces is a PIA for some, but methinks the fella who's fussy and wants only the right piece, will do what it takes to get what he/she wants. Let's face it, were all...

Hey, that's not a stand, it's a custom cabinet and hood. Well done! Dave

Hey Kribbman Pop a Mich and relax........even if you don't have the best luck with this spawn. These little cichlids are some tough and resilient fish. Do your part with water parms & the rest will just happen. You don't have tank mates that will bother these guyz!!! Corys, neons won't come...

Update 3/28/08 Cellar support and stand in FF room are done. RO unit is up and running after lots of help and quick response from Don @ Air Water Ice. 4 -- 1 1/2" Sch. 40 Bulkheads came in from Coral Reef Supply. God, they're huge. Plan to drill today. Received skimmer pump: Sequence...

Update 3/14/08 Read read read....I'm putting most of my efforts [non-physical] into the planning stages of the Frag/Fuge part of this system, as I await talking to AFY about the final design for the big tank plumbing [they are about to send the specs to the production department]. I think it...

March 9, '08 update Picked up a 150g rubbermaid stock tank @ Tractor Supply. This will be the sump for the new tank, frag/fuge system. Began plumbing sump room for RO unit.....I ran the 1/4" tubing through floor to a bathroom sink cabinet that has the flexible chrome covered ~3/8" supply...

Patryugi I like that idea of mixing tap & RO to come up with a comprimise of chemicals for FW use. Our area [region] is high in limestone deposits, which contributes to our high ph. I don't know what causes the hardness. Is there an ideal for ph & GH, or do you tweak paramiters to suit your...

Ziggy, I know this is a bit late on the drilling, but I'm going to do a project very much like yours. What size hole[s] did you drill, and where did you get your drill? Thnx Dave

Update I finally put the last upright in the cellar [2x6x10] to finish the support wall for the closet tanks. Brought 8 pair of fancy guppies to the LFS to lighten the load for the upcoming moves. Found out from Tony @ Swampbottom.com that All-Glass tanks are tempered only on the...

Anne, Nine clowns must give you quite the show when they're out playing around. I have 5 in my 90g. Up until a few days ago, they would come right up to the corner of the tank when I walked by. There in a bit of a state of shock after my furniture re-location. I was removing a large...

Hey, Just got my RO/DI last night from Air, Water & Ice. I plan on using it for both FW and SW. I'll bypass the DI filter for FW use. Our well water is very hard 15GH/8.5 PH. Our test kit recomends R/O treatment to lower these numbers. It makes sense to me. Dave
