[mrx66699]

No problem at all Matt.

Thanks Sean for coming to meet us there as well. Sean donated bunch of frags to Adam.

nice job guys.....anyone that has anything being donated please try and drop things off to me or make arrangements within the next week or so we are going to shoot for starting some installs sat the 28th.....I am going to do the plumbing on that day and start getting things arranged .....anyone that can help out please shoot me a pm its will be prolly about 3-4 hours in the morning

things still needed

1. possibly a 40 breeder as the 55 we have may be too long to get into the stand.....will wait till monday and if we dont have anything in the works we will need to go with the 55 (see #5)

2. a skimmer

3. salt to start things up OR saltwater delivered

4. any kind of an old RO/DI setup with some usable filters to start with if possible

5. if we go with the 55 someone to do the baffles and get it ready

6. an RO top off container

7. a saltwater holding container

Aquarium salt

Aquarium salt

Matt I have a five gallon bucket of the instant ocean about 3/4 full and a living color bag of salt but I'm not sure if that's enough.

 

[504Reefer]

That should be enough salt mix Adam.

Matt, I'm out of town till after new year, but if your setting up before I get back, the rock can be picked up anytime at nova. Just lmk beforehand and I'll let the guard know to expect you. Wish I could help out on the install..

 

[mrx66699]

Ian rock wont prolly be till the following weekend after set up dont know if we will have time ....

 

[504Reefer]

Ok great then I'll handle up on the rock work the following weekend.

 

[AquamanE]

Im willing to make a couple hundred gallons of RO/DI, but have no way of transporting it.

I have to be able to do 70 per day so some has to leave so i can make more,

 

[doreo]

the baffles shouldn't be too hard, the biggest issue is getting them cut.

 

[Rarewon]

I have a Berliner WD-125 that i'm not using..Will that work for this project instead of the 40b? All you need is the intake pipe- a trip to home depot & it's up and running.

 

[mrx66699]

that is for DT up to 125 not sure if it would give enough room for skimmer and things

let me check tonight and Im going to put up a list and see where we stand.....thank you for your assistance

 

[mpfeiffer1]

Let me know what you need. As you know, We get a discount for FMAS members at Elite Marine in Pompano Beach of 15% off on all marine life. I would offer to give the $$$ from my discount to Adam. If a few more of us do the same thing, we could potentially be able to provide a fund for on-going fish, chemicals, equipment, and corals. I personally would not buy fish from anywhere else in S. Florida but Elite Marine. NO, I am in no way affiliated with Elite Marine.

 

[Siptang]

Ok. I have picked up more corals from couple of fmas members. Thanks betamed (damon) and one other member who doesn't want to be mentioned.

Ok just an update ....we have the sump, water, ro unit, and a salt water holding container now so

looks like the only things we are missing now are an RO top off container and a skimmer .....anyone?

big thanks to everyone in on this things are coming together....

 

[Aqua Adam 1998]

What's a ro top off container ?

 

[doreo]

some container to hold your ro/di. im trying to figure out what im gonna use myself. used a 5 gallon on my cube, but the sump on the 75 took up to much room

 

[Aqua Adam 1998]
