Jim's 180 build

[kdblove_99]

To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle.




I had no idea Tunze even made salt, That sounds pricey

 

[Jim_S]

:lol:

Actually I'm copying Tim (tfp)

I asked him what salt he uses yesterday

Thanks Tim

Also, no whipping out of the credit card either

I refuse to go into debt over a fish tank. All is bought and paid for

As my man Randy Moss would say... "Straight cash homie" :lol:

 

[kdblove_99]

Tim mixes RC and Seachem?

 

[Jim_S]

and coralife

 

[mpoletti]

congrats on the ballast I am looking at either tunze or TM as my 3rd salt in the mix. I like the elevated levels.

Jim- the only reason Tim went that route was because it was local and cheap

 

[Jim_S]

Thanks Mark!

Yeah, Tim said that he still has to dose some mg, but other than that he's good.

The Tunze stuff looks interesting though!!

I just finished painting the back of the tank black Its all murdered out!!! :lol:

Dude, tbone, your new avatar is AWESOME!!!

Avatar of the month :lol:

Sweet, eh?
Waiting to bring out MC Hammer and the parachute pants


But seriously, if any of you are interested in trying the Tunze, we're trying to get a group buy together over on the BAR forum. I doubt the group buy will mean lower prices, but hope to cut out the shipping charge of $12-$17 per bag! :eek2:

 

[kdblove_99]

I thought BAR outlawed Group buys?

 

[tbone28]

well, it's not a true group buy. We're just trying to find a LFS who will order a pallet of it. Shipping costs don't allow for much profit unless a store brings in a full pallet, so the *group buy* is basically finding enough people to buy all the bags. There will probably be no discounts.

 

[Maximus]

You may want to go through Aquarium Specialty. I hear they are having a Tunze authorized sale.

 

[kdblove_99]

Gotcha.

 

[tbone28]

I'll check them out. Thanks for the tip Sang

Gotcha.

I don't think the LFS will want to order a pallet of $27 bags of salt unless they know they can sell it all

 

[kdblove_99]

How is the new SPS addiction coming along?

Mark,

It is coming pretty good. There's just so many pieces i still really want. But i definitely love the SPS

Finally started getting Polyp extention. After i eliminated the Flame angel.

Had to take every piece of rock out of my tank but he is gone and i have Extention

yeah, I hear that $27 is pretty steep.

But it might save if you are mixing 2-3 diffrent salts

 

[Maximus]

DOH! You guys are talking about salt? LOL, I thought you were talking about Tunze Streams.

 

[tbone28]

LOL, Sang. too late! I already posted a thread over on Aq. Specialty's forum

 

[Jim_S]

Sang's back!!!

Alright, today is the beginning of the end of my old 125

I took tomorrow off, so when I get home from work tonight I will take down the old system and house the livestock in a stock tank.

Hopefully I can get everything ready for a smooth transfer

More pics to come guys, but its going to be a busy next couple of days. I'll update the thread as i go, but pics might be slow coming up.

Cheers,

Jim
