I can't post on that forum, but I am interested in a trip to Richmond. However, there is a good chance I will go to a meeting in Miami and may take my dive gear and head to Key Largo for that weekend. Please keep me posted and I will try and watch the other forum.

Willing to trade 3x 175W MH ballasts, sockets and used bulbs or a dual 55W PC ballast with new bulbs for corals, frags or fish. I live in the Waynesboro area. Shipping is probably too expensive for the MH ballasts, but I will be happy to ship the PC stuff.

Willing to trade 3 175w metal halide ballasts or a 2 x 55W PC ballast, either with bulbs, for frags or fish. The metal halides are heavy, so they are probably not worth shipping. I live in Waynesboro.

I find that the best stores are in Richmond: Fish World on Busy Street off of 60 and Atlantis off of 6 (Patterson Road) near Short Pump Road. PM me for directions. They both are well worth the trip. Atlantis has frags. Fish World is more expensive and sells only whole pieces.

I'm decommissioning my SW frag tank. I have about two 5-gallon buckets (salt-container's) of not-so-live sand. I don't want to wash and dry it to store it. Free. Come and get it in Wayensboro. Norm 540-836-3831

My display tank is a 92 gallon All-Glass Aquariums corner tank (curved front), started 29-May-99. LR, LS, Berlin skimmer powered by a Mag 7 with modified Mazzi injector. Circulation provided by a Maxi-jet 1000 on a Osci-Wave wave maker in addition to a fan-shaped return nozzle and a Mag 2 in the...

Who was it that was interested in the bubble tip? I may have one. Norm

Count me in!

Jeeze for a few more bucks you get a 50 gpd and clear canisters and a pressure gauge and an in-line TDS. http://www.aquariumwaterfilters.com/RODI/Barracuda.html Norm Webmaster http://www.aquariumwaterfilters.com

Did you folks meet or did you postpone due to the snow?

May I suggest you check out our library article on what to look for in a RO/DI filter. What we have in there is not just to sell filters, but it what I personally use. http://www.aquariumwaterfilters.com/Library/Filter_FAQ.html Norm Webmaster http://www.aquariumwaterfilters.com

I guess it is a matter of preference. Frankly, I do not have the time nor the patience to constantly check my output with a handheld TDS. I use an in-line TDS meter which is not a whole lot more expensive than the hand-held. Also, I can't imagine not having clear canisters - I like to see...

I recommend reef-ready (pre-drilled) if at all possible. I have NEVER had good luck with overflows - they always seem to loose prime. Others seem to have better luck. Since I travel and may be gone for several weeks at at time, it is important that the tank not lose circulation through the...

I have a flame and love it. Just be sure you do not keep it in a tank with other pygmy angels of similar body shape like a Coral Beauty.

Just to put in my opinion. I agree with the previous posters that clear canisters are important so you can see the state of your sediment filter and DI. I also like a pressure gauge to monitor my membrane and an in-line TDS meter instead of a hand-held. We have put together a FAQ on what to...
