LF 50 gal stock tank

[zeroinverse]

Anyone know where I can find one cheap?

Ron, we're goingto tell your wife on you. Dont you have enough tank already.

Hahahaah... it's for my propagation system. Decided I would rather have a "sump" on bottom and be able to run two prop tanks (if I wanted)... ^_^

Point was to put the skimmer on bottom than on top. Skimmer at the very top level is just hard to service. ^_^

 

[zeroinverse]

Woohoo! Found one pretty cheap.

 

[Grant W]

Too Funny, Where the heck are you going to put the pond Ron...

That's only 50g?looks bigger.. I've seen quite a few guys running them wish I had a fish room to use that on my DT..

 

[Grant W]

Boy with that much space you could do a full fuge and mangrove space and everything.

Ha! That means more electricity consumption. This past month, due to AC running a LOT... Our bill was like $700 (according to wife). Crazy!

We plan to install solar later this year. $26k before tax credit, 16k end cost. Paypack of that "investment" in 5 years or less. Saves me about $250 or more per month.

So 5 years is about $16k. Drops bill from $300-400 down to $70.

David, owner/guy from GreenStockSolar.com seems an upstanding guy and I plan to use him. He's based in Napa Valley.

I plan to put down like 26 "250 watt" panels out of the 40+ panels I would need if I wanted to entirely cancel my electricity usage.

Solar is the way to go a friend just got it installed in sac and he actually has a credit with his utility company for selling power back to them.. I think his bill is like $150 though.. Is yours just a lease also? Or will you own it?

 

[zeroinverse]

Planning to own it. Why pay a leasing company to basically trade "one utility" for another "utility-like" company.

If they decide to raise your leasing fee or add "inflation" to energy costs, then you will be at their mercy.

Yeah I agree I didn't think that much into it but I felt the same way. It's not any different than PG&E just cheaper.. he also had to pay for the new roof underneath it lol.. The way he stated it is the panels have a certain life span and he won't have a large payment ever or have to pay to replace them and supposedly can restart it all over again or something like that.. I don't know the specifics but I know he's happy and I'm sure you will be too. Plus it adds value to your house.. Win win..

 

[zeroinverse]

With leases, typically total end to end cost is more expensive than if you had the money to pay it all upfront. Kind of like the idea of buying a house instead of leasing to own. ^_^ You usually end up with a "large lease buyout option" at the end.

 

[Dapg8gt]

Yeah I totally believe you like I said I don't know much about Solar .. And honestly he's not the brightest star in the sky ( I can say that I've known him since I was 4 so I wouldn't be surprised if he got sold on something that wasn't what he thought it was.

I believe his thoughts were he doesn't have to buy it just renew or upgrade with a new company/product when the time comes since it will be old technology when it's up.. But he's the type to pay a neighborhood kid to vandalize it to get off the hook ha ha..

Good luck I'm sure you will find a way to use up all those savings the way your prop tank is growing bigger by the month. JK
