Meet and Greet Thread!

I live over by Kingsley school. It is surprising to find people with reeftanks that live in this area and I would like to see them.

 

I'm UNI alumni. Which building do I sneak into to see the reeftank? Biology?

 

I'm Jason Glaspie. We've had reef tanks for 6 or 7 years now, started small with a 5 gal and have had several different tanks since then. Our current tank is a 120g with a 50g sump. As for the club, we've been members for 6 years or so. I've been on the BOD 3 or 4 times now starting as a trustee and currently the president.

 

last time i looked i was

 

Just moving a few blocks. Not too far! I' m going to build my stand for the 90 gal. this weekend so I can get it going. How hard is it to find CHEAP live rock?? Gonna need maybe 50+ lbs. The cheapest I found is in Manchester $3.99/lb. That's pretty cheap I think??

 

Hey y'all, Im Josh. I live in CF and am currently working a new 120RR. Its been a PIA but looking forward to the end result. My goal for today is to get all my corals in the new tank without any breakage or loss.

 

Looking for new/used 48" Metal halide preferably 2X250 fixture with t5 or pc actinic blue. about 760 total watts. Anything out there better than ebay?

 

jwess's tank is impressive. Thanks for the trade.
The UNI tank is very nice. Thanks for the tip.
I hope to see more nice tanks and aquire more corals in this area.

 

Davidm199,
I would like to see your tank sometime... do you have anything interesting for sale? If you have free time this weekend just pm me the time and place.

Anyone interested in a Leopard Moray Eel? 3-4 feet long. Eats anything and everything. One dollar per foot. I might even deliver in w'loo/cf.

Today could've been bad- One end of my light was in the water and the other end was in my hands- and it was turned on.

 

I want to move in SPS. It seems there are differing opinions on the topic of Mh vs. t5ho. I am thinking of moving from 260w pc to 6x54 t5ho over a 55 gallon. My second consideration is 8x54 t5ho but I think this might not be necessary. Electricity costs are one reason why I am thinking of using t5ho instead of Mh.
The best I have found is on ebay- $299 6X54, separate reflectors, 5 yr. warranty, made in the USA.
$389 for same light but 8X54. $349 for 2X250 MH plus actinic pc for a total of 760 watts, but it is odeyssa, made in China. I can find a US made but it will cost more.
I'm mulling over it for a while. Any opinions? From experience?

 

I would go with this retro kit from Ics Cap

 

Hi, my name is Brian and I live in Traer, which is about 20 minutes from Cedar Falls.  I have a 125G Reef Tank and a 20G Sump.  I have been in the hobby for about a year now and I am glad that there are people locally I can chat with about the hobby.

I just became a member today and I look forward to talking and meeting with everyone at some time.
