Yes they will price match in the area and online sites(except salt as I recall).

Not to get off subject, but I see the brute water container in the pic.
Where is the best place to pic up a couple of them, ordering them would be high on the shipping.

Clam Tank Has Been Moved!!
Clam Tank Has Been Moved!!
We cleaned out and moved the clam tank over next to the 210. Got it all plumbed up but didn't have quite enough SW made up. Should have it up and running this evening. Here's a quick pic. Still have quite a sand storm in there but the hang on filter with some floss is slowly clearing it up.
All the clams are taking up residence in the basement growout tank for a little while. Trying to eradicate all pyramid snails as we had them hard and heavy before. Hopefully can get them all taken care of so they don't haunt us in the new set-up.

Sweet ... soon to be clam heaven 
You were supposed to come down to check it out. Beautiful day for a drive. :lol:
Ereefic,
Let me ask you a question. I am setting up a 150gal aquarium for the first time. I have been blessed enough to buy the best of equipment and I pretty much wanted to have all of my equipment so I can save money since I am going to have a maintenance company maintain my tank until I learn this hobby. I have bought a RO/DI unit. I was told not only make my own water for evaporation but also make it for water changes (w/salt). What type of containers do you use or would you suggest I store my water in and how do you have your containers configured? I will not be running my RO unit into my sump. RO water will run into a container and from there I will manually top off my water. Thanks!!!

35 to 55 gallons. Some of the ones with wheels leak, so check first. Also look on the bottom of the can. There should be a recycling triangle and the letters HDPE (High Density PolyEthylene. That's food grade plastic.
Eric, what wattage and type of MH lamp do you have over the clamfugium?

mmotown, I am using the 33 gal. Brutes. The local HD didn't have the bigger ones at the time. The 'Brute' container will have the word 'BRUTE' in black letters right on the side.
tacocat, the 'clamfugium' has a 250w DE in a PFO mini-pendant over it, nothing else.
bigdee65, the skimmer is an MR-2 and that's it. I will be getting an extended riser tube for it soon, which will make it the MR-3. I'm thinking I might need a little HOT skimmer on the clam tank as it seems to hold more nutrients than the 210, kind of like a nutrient settling tank.
