I’m planning to be there.

Hope everyone had a great stress free Thanksgiving!

My new tank will be here in about a month. I’m looking to borrow some brutes, stock tanks, or other large containers to hold my current rock, fish and new saltwater while making the transfer. I will probably need to use them for 2 to 3 weeks time frame and looking to get them in about 2 weeks. Please let me know if anyone can help with this request. Thanks

I will go ahead and host the June, summer social this year.

I will be there

So I decided to keep my Interruptions Angelfish, since I can’t sell it for what I paid for it. And plan to upgrade my tank. I hope that will help with his aggression and also plan to add more larger angels. It will be 3 to 4 months before this happens. Need to save some more money!! I’ve decided on a Planet Aquarium tank, stand and canopy. (So, yes my current 180 tank w/ stand & canopy will be for sale at that point) First though I need some advice on the new tank. I really want their 270 gallon 84” x 30” x 25”, external overflow, bean animal, but due to cost have to keep my current sump, return pump and skimmer and was wondering if what I currently have will be big enough for this size tank. Current equipment: Return pump: Royal Exclusive Red Dragon 80 watts, 2113 gph/17 feet pressure height. Sump: Bashsea Signature Series 48” x 15” x 16”with 3 - 1 1/2” drains. Skimmer: ReefOctopus Elite 200 INT, rated at : heavy bio load -125 gal, medium -210 gal, light-300 gal My biggest concern I think is the skimmer. It may be too undersized. But I will also have the following to implement if needed for nutrient control, a fuge with Cheato, Auto Turf Scrubber, GFO Reactor, and a bio pellet reactor(which I still need to buy) So wondering if anyone can tell me if my current equipment will work on the 270 gallon tank. Otherwise I will have to go with a 220 gallon 84x24x25 Thanks

Anyone have any live phyto they are bringing?

Is there one thread already set up titled retro swap or is everyone supposed to post individually? Thanks

I plan to be there

Darn, can’t make it, I’m going to be on vacation with my grandkids.

I am planning to attend.

I have to email my phone pictures to myself then use my laptop to resize them. I use Paint that came with my computer to reduce the pixels to 600 x 800 then upload them. There may be editing software for your phone to do this but I don’t have one on my phone or know what app that would be. It is a hassle but it works.

Light came in very quickly, I was surprised how quick I got it. It is already installed. I didn’t get before pick but I can post some after. I have a 14 k bulb now but thinking of putting in a 20k bulb. I will get some pictures later when light comes on.

Welcome back

I went ahead and ordered the Reef Brite 175 watt Metal Halide/LED Hybrid. Also got the dimmer controls for the leds so I can have sunrise/sunset ramp up and down times on the tank.
