local "spa flex"

yes its flex PVC. Ive seen a few coils of it at the HD on 13 by the airport. in the electrical department. I think they have 1/2, 3/4 and 1 inch. by the foot or by the box. I've been eye balling it lately wondering if i should replace some clear vinyl tubing that keeps plugging up with algea from th lights.

well i hope i get to it before your done eyeballing it:lol:
 
:lol: coax coax - just put them in a trash bag and into the BFT now :D

Sounds like I'm being recruited to help the GF at work on Saturday - so I'll be right down the road - I've got mbbuna's #, I'll PM you guys mine in case you need to reach me.

Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some sand to suck :thumbsup:

I wonder if they ever got that quietone 3000 impeller at Fishman that I asked them for last time I was there (about a month ago :eek1: ) - I've been needing a new one for quite some time.
 
wait, today or saturday nick?

i'm gathering supplies now.

If we can pull this off at like noon or 1:00 the wife can come too and visit the fishies :) otherwise any time is fine
 
I'm at work now - I won't be out until 4pm at the earliest - meaning I won't be able to get up there until 5 - traffic is going to be rough.
 
I think that tomorrow morning would be better as my GF won't be able to get off of work until about 8pm or maybe as late as midnight :eek1: tonight.

I am planning on stopping by her apartment tomorrow morning to get some stomatella's, mini stars, and whatever else I can siphon out along w/ some sand (hopefully some copepods/ amphipods and mysis - all originally from my tank) - so hopefully I can find enough of everything in her 12-gallon cube to seed both of our tanks (Safir and I)
 
Saturdays good, its suposed to rain all day.

MTM you can have some sand from on of my tank when you are ready, just let me know what type. i have CC, fiji pink, and from the DSB south down
 
I'm game for a little of each - as you know I'm not really a big fan of sand in my tank, but I would like to have a good assortment of critters - and I'm pretty sure that the recent exposure of my tank to low salinity for about 6-hours killed every last invertebrate in there :(

So I'll definately be using it when I re-set-up my tank in Milwaukee, just to seed the tank with a good crew of micro-verts to get everything going again - it may take a few months before herds of mysis are migrating over my open plains of live rock, but I can wait.
 
max - i'll grab some souhdown out of my sump as well - it's been seeded from mbbuna's tank as well as a "tub tank" from a n-r member, tons of pods and mysis all over my 'fuge walls. Except, i forgot, i've got flatworms - theyre everywhere but they aren't briliant red like the "evil red flatrowms" i see pictures of - they are kind of off-brown to whitish. not bright white like the "harmless white flatworms" i see pictuers of.... in any case you might nto want it.

I know they're in my sand because they are in the nano i seeded from my sand bed too.
 
thanks man - I'd appreciate that - and I ain't scurrd' of no brown flatworms, my fish will eat them with a passion - or I'll find one that will :D

Rust Brown Flatworm
The first and most common type of flatworm can become a nuisance quickly in the home aquarium. These organisms are tan, brown or rust colored with a red dot, and reach a size of up to 1/4" in length. They are oval and slightly elongated with two tail-like appendages at their posterior. This brown flatworm has been identified as Convolutriloba retrogemma, and will proliferate rapidly in aquariums with elevated nutrient levels. The populations of these pests can increase to a point where they will actually perch on corals, and block the light from reaching the corals' tissue. Some experts believe that the flatworms actually feed on the zooxanthellae from coral tissue, thus damaging the corals themselves.

except i never see them anywhere but the glass. i'll try to take a picture

edit: ok my (expensive) camera has completely taken a dump on me, so no pictures. I'll siphon some creepy crawlies off the sides of the sump while i'm at it, they're all over the place :) get you as much good stuff as I can :)

I've heard blue velvet nudibranches like the flatworms and six-lines typically eat them. I suppose it's also possible to starve tehm to death if you don't overfeed :oops:

so - when saturday?

side note - my male GSM clown has started hosting.... my pink protopalythoa... he's like twice the size of the colony.
 
i can be there whenever you guys want so what ever is good for you.

MTM do you want this sand today? or just before you leave(next week)?
 
sorry - I just got up - kinda late night last night (and a bunch of beer pong) I'll do sand today - I'm going to have to break down my tank this weekend anyway so I'll just put it in the bottom of my rubbermaid for now - let it get all cozy there, and everything *should* be cool

You guys both have my #, so whenever you want to meet up, just give me a ring - I've still got to get over to the GF's to grab whatever I can out of her tank though - so earliest maybe 1pm? :confused:

Hey Safir - coax coax, nudge nudge, wink wink ;) - you know what I mean :lol:
 
fishman is just right down the street for me so i can make it anytime. you two are the ones that have to travel so ill leave the time up to you guys:)
 
mtm - i'll call you at 1-ish and head down then.

i'll be sleeping on the couch until then so call me f something comes up
