Hello all, i would just like to say hi and introduse myself... I have just recently moved to the Knoxville area, and i had to sell everything i had back home for the move... I am buying a 90 gal tank on friday and i am looking to but everything else still so if anyone has anything they would like to get rid of please let me know and thanks a lot
 
First off WELCOME!!!!!!!!!

[welcome]


Not sure if I'll have any stuff leftover after I combine a couple systems... I'll let you know if I do though... :D
 
What kind of system did you have??? What are you looking to set up???

What kind of livestock are you wanting to keep???
 
yes dave i am definatly interested... my name is greg by the way...
Randy, I had a 55 gal system that i had for almost 2 years mainly sps and softies in it.. i am going to try and set up near the same thing, mainly sps, some softies a clam as i have never had one before and have alwase wanted one. and definatly somne fish, i am not sure on what type of fish yet, i am trying to get my girlfriend involved and she has been very resistant so far but i think i am getting closer...
 
Greg,

Take her to see Randy's tank(s), she'll be hooked. If you want to see SPS, I've got a couple:)

Here it is, but I've got to wait for my pump to arrive first:

sounds great man i appreciate it, i think in time once she see some tanks it will be easier to get her involved but as we have a baby on the way ( just found out last week) i am definatly going to try and make this a familly thing.. we will see if it works... and i guess what i am actually trying to do with this tank is make it a mixed reef tank i would like a little of everything in it. but i am going to definatly try and buy my stuff used if at all possible.
 
about the skimmer how much are you asking for it and then when i finally get my sump would you be willing to do a walk through with me so i know its hooked up corectly?
 
Randy:
Close, but it's a long story. Same pump though.

Greg, $80 but it has a few cracks and can only be used in-sump only. They don't affect performance buy do generate a small water leak (teaspoon per day or so) and hence the low price and in-sump use only. I've upgraded it a bit though as you can see. With the correct pump, it is a wicked skimmer IMO and would be plenty for your 90 gallon. I run it off a BlueLine SD 1100 and find that to be a perfect match, low wattage and perfect amount of flow/pressure to drive the Beckett.
 
Thanks dave that sounds great... when your ready to get rid of it just let me know... oh and still looking for a sump asap so if anyone out there has one they want to get rid of please let me know...
 
Welcome Greg. Between everyone in the club I am sure you won't have to look far for corals. Good luck with the setup.
 
thanks for the welcom and i am a long long way from looking for corals at the moment still just tring to get all the equipment together... lol my girlfriend just asked me if id wait to get my aquarium i am concidering it
 
Well, for the time being you can live through the glory of others' tanks... ;) Its better to wait until your ready anyways... Pick up some equipment here and there, this way you don't start off behind the eight ball so to speak...

Wow...way to bombard the guy with questions. hah hah.

Are you high on endorphins from running?

Greg...you can trust Dave's word on that skimmer. If he says it's a good one, then it's a good one.

Welcome to Knoxville!

Tell your girlfriend that at our meetings it's less about reef stuff (though we do talk about that too) and more about socializing and eating a lot of food.
 
Welcome to Knoxville, Greg.

I have a few odds and ends sitting around, but no major pieces to offer. If you get into any DIY projects or need electrical advice, I'd be happy to help.

lol Right now I am... :D Just got done with 5.6 miles about an hour or so ago... ;)

I was going back and forth with Greg in this thread and the Feb meeting thread, so its not like I just attacked him... lol I even welcomed him first... :) Besides, if we don't know what he wants to set up, we can't help him find the equipment he wants... :p
 
Oh good grief...I'm just joking.

You know how much I believe in attacking the new people so they leave.
