hey rob it looks like we got all the same stuff. but you got a much bigger table then i did. i have some corals for you still as well so we need to get together again and do some trading.
 
yep. now is my season so it's hard for me to get away and feel like moving off the couch when I get some time but we should try this weekend or tuesday when margie has her game down there. so you want that frag right?
 
ok I talked to chris well one of the many chris's and had him send me some pics before the destroyed this guys reef. just kidding on the destroy kind of ;)
anyway to me these are sick and a must see to appreciate what I am wowing about if you haven't made it over yet.

he told them his business was booming and he had no time and it was starting to go downhill slowly so instead of killing everything he just gave it up. I think he is in the boat business over on this side of the bay.
I think what has really happened here is tampa missed it's first tank of the month here on RC.
 
I agree... Id love to see more shots of that tank and the hardware.... in fact Id like to buy some of that hardware!! :)
 
I think they said the whole thing is for sale for somewhere around $5000. don't hold it to anyone if I got the number wrong but I think that sounds right. something like 2 huge skimmers a couple 1000 watt lights with 400 watters. I think 2 ampmasters and 6 or 8 tunzes. calcium reactor aquacontroller. thats all I can remember talking about. i think it was 400 or 420 gallons. would be awesome to have but I just got the 265 I would be divorced before the wedding if I tried to bring that thing home. I also have no clue if he wants to part things out or not. I know where the guys business is maybe I will try to see if he is willing to part anything out. maybe I will point him in this direction so he himself can deal with it if he wants to.
wish me luck
 
I went to Finz today and man I had to use some restraint!! Definitely a must see!! I wish I could have been there to see it in the original tank! I did get a few pics from my phone but they were crappy and didn't do any justice to the massive and beautiful specimens.
 
I'm so glad I don't keep those kind of corals. No temptation!

[unless he had some nifty fish...uh oh...better just shut up now]
 
he had an amphiprion tricinctus that I saw. a semi rare clownfish. huge green chromis's and some blue yellow tail reef chromis's. saw some tangs also I think purples, yellows and regals. always nice to get fish from a tank. who knows whatelse
 
went to fins. very large and extremely impressive peices. didnt buy anything also didnt see any prices listed for anything and noone asked me if i needed any help in the 10 minutes I was there. Not intended to bash the place, just stating a fact. I also noticed that all of the very large caps they have are starting to bleach. they may want to frag whats left of them. the large tabling pcs themselves were extremely impressive. Ive never seen pcs like those
 
wow pok not that I don't believe they didn't help you it's just hard to believe nobody did. sorry to hear that I guess I am lucky that way. I get helped there and when I walk in johns. of course I announce I am there to everyone anyway ;)
the green cap had alot of layers and it was white where it wasn't getting light but still had polyps out when I saw it. it may be getting worse but it may be the same as last time I saw it. the picture shows it on the far side of the tank and thats a tough place to get fully lit. of course they put a huge bio load on there system putting it all in there so hopefully they don't have any issues.
 
The pretty young lady did say hello when I walked in. Im just an old curmedgeon
I dont really care about that,,, honestly I dont. Im in sales and i make it a point to bug my customers with service. just me and My analness. NO CRITICISM INTENDED.
the store does look a million times better. need to . Rob, PM me with what they wanted for those larger pieces if you could. The big tabling pieces

if you dont mind what did the charge you for it? i know what i was quoted just wondering. i like that store but the only thing i have always hated was that the prices are ALWAYS different. heck i can ask the same guy and still get a different price on stuff even in the same visit. they seem to just make them up as they go depending on who you are talking to.
sometimes the price goes down so i like that part lol.

the problem does not seem to happen when i talk to the younger looking super hyper guy named chris. the shorter older guy that i think is one of the owners is the worst about it. he will give me a different price whin 10 min of asking lol. I almost make it a point to ask several times when there until i hear one i like.. dont get me wrong i like the store and have droped a good bit of cash there but it would be nice to have some consistancy.
