Jim's 180 build

[Jim_S]

Yeah, the braceless tanks are sweet.

I really dig the look.

I was thinking about doing it, but changed my mind for a couple of reasons, but its obviously the "new" trend in the states.

When I was in a Tokyo fish store, all the have are braceless tanks though :lol:

Guess the US is always late to catch on in some areas....

jim,


you getting a BK now? I wanted to see an ATB

 

[Jim_S]

Nah. I can't afford it, and a chiller, and a RO/DI, etc.,etc...

I PM'd Too Fly to get me a price on the GB, but thats it.

 

[kdblove_99]

Ok, cause i saw you r name on that GB and seems like they think you are buying one. Seems like a pretty good deal they might get. 20% + free shipping

 

[BreadmanMike]

Reeflo 250...

 

[Jim_S]

15% + free shipping. The 20% got vetoed by Proline.

Great deal IMO, but still $1500 ish for a fish toilet

Definitely! If the ATB I want doesn't hit the market soon, I'm looking at the reeflo for sure!

:lol: Remember I cancelled my BK 250 for it? I'd do it all over too.... no regrets.

The ATB is very nice and affordable. Definitely a great choice IMO.

My wife agreed to a new tank as long as it's 6' long. Wanna sell me your 125? :lol:

At least I know it's not all scratched up from sand.

 

[Jim_S]

Its all yours. You drive out here and pick it up, you can have it

But I'm pretty sure you're gonna want something a little bit bigger....

BTW,

CONGRATS :celeb1:

Do I see a new build thread in the future?????

 

[BreadmanMike]

Meet half way?

 

[Jim_S]

:lol:

No way man!!! I've got too much work to do!!!

 

[BreadmanMike]

When you get back your tank will be waiting at the store. It will help pass time. :rollface:

 

[Jim_S]

:lmao:

 

[BreadmanMike]

No build thread. I'm just going to plumb whatever I get into the reef setup. It will be a simple FOWLR. The tank is for my snowflake eel and clown grouper that I've had for ten years. I'll probably get a black voliton lion to toss in as well. I have a miniatus grouper living in a 100g rubbermaid bin that I'd like to add in, but she has a very poor attitude. I tried adding a black durgeon trigger that was 3" bigger then her in the bin and she grabbed it by the head and about killed it.

I just got off the phone with John and guess who is making a trip to LA :dance:

 

[Jim_S]

Very nice!!!!

 

[BreadmanMike]

1 more week?

We need some live nude girls in this thread!!!!!!

 

[mpoletti]

I thought you might like some news like that

 

[Jim_S]

News like that is just what I needed!

I may have a storage issue though. I have a new roommate who brought all is furniture (garbage IMHO) and I'm not sure I can put it anywhere, as I was expecting the tank next week.

I'll call John and see whats up though

Thanks bro!

Jim
