Anyone heading to Richmond soon?

[reefdadx2]

Wanted to know if any of you guys were heading to Richmond anytime soon to go to Atlantis Aquariums? Marvin has a used Kent Marine Nautilus skimmer that I was hoping someone would not mind picking up for me, if they were going anyway. Please let me know if you can. I would really appreciate it. If no one is going I will be making a road trip there in a few weeks if anyone wants to tag along. Thanks, Michael

I have an used Kent Marine TE with a MAG 5 I got off Reef Central for $115. You can have it at cost if you want, as I also got an Euro-Reef which I will be using rather than the Kent-Marine.

BTW, thanks to everyone who offered to pick up the Copperband for me from Marvin's. Apparently he did not have one available so after waiting for two months, I lucked out and picked one up locally ...

Hey Shivaji slap a mag 7 on that Kent TE skimmer and you will be very happy with it. Marvin was giving away skimmers last night on line and that is the skimmer that I asked for. I can really use it on my 55 and am looking forward to it. Thanks Marvin! I already have one on my 100 gallon tank and I am very happy with it. Use the mag 7. Michael R

Just checked - it is a MAG 7. Glad you like yours - I may run it on my other tank with the hang-on PriZm. It is just in a real yukky condition as the seller did not bother to clean it at all.

BTW - here is my Copperband :

and a Long tentacled plate I picked up at C&P Pets (Christiansburg)

a splash of muriatic acid will take care of that instantly. do it outside so you don't choke.

I am going to Atlantis Aquariums on August the 12th or 13th. Hope to have some company if anyone wants to come along. These are the only 2 possible dates that I have in my schedule unless I go around the end of August. If one works out better for anyone I will go on that date. We can make a fun day of it. For those who have not been to Atlantis Aquariums in Richmond it is a must see. Michael R

talked to mike and the trip is sept 2nd. i'm in .

 

[surfnvb7]

i was planning on going that weekend also. i really need to try to make it to strictly marine in hopewell this time.

 

[reefdadx2]

Looks like Marvin will not be there that weekend so I was thinking the weekend of the 9th or the 16th may be better. Michael R

If my daughter/son-in law come labor day weekend or the following weekend (they still haven't let me know when or if)-- you want me to pick it up and sent it up to b-burg with them?

 

[reefdadx2]

Thanks Charlie for the offer but I am looking forward to making the trip out there so as to also see Marvin and Atlantis Aquarium. Maybe we will bump into you there also. I know how much you hate going there. Michael R

 

[Charlie Davidson]

You know, he taking some time off right now.. Talked with Jason and Larry --- having a "Boss is away" discount price for us reef central guys! deals on frags also!!

 

[reefdadx2]

Charlie, you are not going to make this easy for me. I'm hoping Marvin is in a great mood after his vacation. Maybe he will extend the deals on frags. You are so lucky to live near Atlantis Aquarium. How many times do you go there a day? Michael R

[Charlie Davidson]

3x a week! its is only about 3 miles away, My car just drives itself by there... it can't help itself

 

[reefdadx2]

Charlie, 3 miles, you're killing me. Any chance of a tour of your setup if I can give you some notice? Michael R

 

[Charlie Davidson]

You guys normally come when I'm gone to River. (anytime I am free- I'm there, 7 months-I will live there)
I do hear something calling me to Marvins today though
