All reefers in NC & SC

Hi Trmiv... Say "hi" to your fish for me

 

[trmiv]

Hey Doni! I think at this point the fish wish they were back in your refugium! Both of my original fish plus neptune's little black perc boyfriend are camped out in a 10 gallon on my kitchen table while I get my tank setup yet again after our move into a house. I had my 40 breeder setup and ready for them to go in, and then like any good reefer I started thinking "you know, a 65 would fit right on that stand" so I took the opportunity to do a quick upgrade.

 

[Doni]

LOL! That must be THE quickest upgrade ever.

What's up guys. I know Petsmart doesn't usually have too much stuff for our saltwater needs, but I found out today that if you can find what you want, most of their stuff is SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper on the website and if you print out what you need and take it to the store they'll sell it to you in the store for the website price. I just got the big 160 gal bucket of instant ocean salt for $35 (store price was $56) and four new 65w pc bulbs for $29 apiece (store price $44). Works for me.

Just thought I'd pass along the info.

[trmiv]

Yea I used to pricematch IO salt all the time from Petsmart when I was still using Instant Ocean. Sucks they rarely have Reef Crystals in the buckets.

Just wanted to let everyone know about Carolina Custom Aquatics.

What an awesome job Bryant did on my ASM skimmer... My G3 now works like a beast! He did the mesh, gate valve, feed pump, and recirc mod.

He did such a great job, I had him install and build some shelves for my new RO/DI...

Here is a link to his site

Thanks again B
