Throwing my hat in the ring a bit late, but here goes...doing a decent clearing out so I will actually be able to see my sand bed again.
I'll post some pics if I find the time or if there are requests.

36" 96w AHSupply's "The Beast" PC fixture...hella bright for freshwater (workhorse 5 ballast, polished parabolic reflector, etc.) *no bulb* ~ $50

I should have mentioned that there are several of the following available: Jolly Greens, Green Rics, Olive-Green Rics, Blue Rics, Orange Rics. Everything else is a single frag.

Sure Olivia - got you down!

Assuming decent lighting and planted-safe inhabitants (FW equivalent of reef-safe), the Hygro, E. tennellus 'micro', D. diandra are pretty forgiving. Mosses are bulletproof if fish your fish aren't nibblers. Pics of most here (search by genus): http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/plantfinder/
I also have a nice piece of Windelov (lace tipped) Java Fern that is nuclear-winter proof if you want it for $7, but it is pretty common.
 
I think I have Java Fern... lol And some type of sword... We have these freaking ridiculous snails everywhere!!! Should I kill them??? Our turtle likes to eat them, thats why they're still in there... :)

Oh, and I have 2x65w PC's for lighting...

I can take pics if that would help???
 
I will be there. Can you hold the Green with grey overtone, purple base, florescent green mouth w/pink inside ~ $12 & a Blue w/purple skirt, blue mouth ~ $10.

Thanks, Eugene
 
Eugene - gotcha down. :)

Wait - you have a turtle in the tank?!?
You probably have normal Java Fern, not the lace-tipped variety - check genus Microsorum on the link above. There are dozens of sword species and as many hybrids.

Are we are talking about pond snails? They really bother some people (like bristleworms), but they are beneficial and plant-safe- free self-replicating CUC. Their numbers can get out of hand though, especially if fish are overfed. I can't recommend any of the "quick fix" products. Some fish help keep their numbers down. Most recommend loaches like Botias, but they are too boisterous for most plants. Get a pair or trio of smaller, more peaceful SA Cichlids like Keyholes, Bolivian or German Rams, Apistogrammas, etc... all crustacean predators. Oh, and did I mention that they are the coolest fish on the planet? :)

Tank size/dimensions? 2x65w doesn't mean much without knowing what it's illuminating....
 
The tank is 30x18x24h... The turtle is in another tank... He just loves snails, and it just so happens we have an endless supply in our FW tank... :D

I just have some Danios and tetras and some brown with black spots monster catfish... Oh, and a clown pleco...

I guess I'm going to have to take pics of my FW, its nothing like yours... lol Its actually Ashley's tank, I have no input on the ichthy inhabitants... And she won't let me set up my 75g as a discus tank... :(
 
Yo Adrianne!

Yo Adrianne!

Oh, I failed to mention that we also have a Royal Gramma named Adrianne that we would like to pass along - about 2.5", healthy, colorful, and active. S/he doesn't play nice with our firefish, which was added after the gramma, but is peaceful towards our other fish (clown and goby). $10 or trade.

The pink ric is gone.
I can't believe nobody has jumped on the oranges - they are ridiculous!

Sorry Janie. :( I'll let you know when I frag another. Things are growing crazy-fast now, so it shouldn't be too long... Lighting upgrade? 2-part dosing? Tank maturity? Probably all of the above... I need a bigger tank, like yesterday.
 
Oh, one MORE thing: Free light bar to (preferably to ETRC member) like pictured here: http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2009-04/diy/index.php (which, incidentally originated with Tom Barr (plant brain of the planted-ilk) but with 1/2" conduit. It is like 6' tall, bends forward and slightly down, and then to the side...perfect for hanging a metal halide pendant over a smaller cube-type tank. I don't need it since I drilled the ceiling... won't fit in my car, you'd have to swing by my place to pick it up.
 
Ohmigosh I could REALLY use the light bar for the 30g aquarium I just set up, could I please, please get that?
Is there any way I could get it from you at the Swap Saturday?
PM'ing you now...
 
NVM, just saw that it won't fit in your car.
Mebbe I can talk Olivia into going by your place after the Swap, I think it would fit in her car.
How long is the section of bar to hang the light from?
 
It's about 20." This is designed for a halide pendant. I don't think it would work with your T5s on a 36" aquarium - too much length and weight. Better to use two pieces of conduit in a simple "L" shape directly above each set of holes in your fixture.
 
It would be less than 10 bux for the pair new. Just measure and bend them using the conduit bender right there at the BORG or Lowes. takes like 10 seconds.
 
What about them?

Nobody wants the Royal Gramma? I don't to put her through the stress if no one wants her... She's very sexay!
