$350 for the corner overflow, you know you all will have to REALLY coach me from there!

 

[newreefbishop]

Not sure of the prices there but here (Fort Lauderdale) 300-350 is standard.......go for the corner overflow, make sure you get the proper bulkheads and a megaflow kit......

How are you going to do you plumbing? Basically is this just goung to be a temp setup till you get back or are you going to try to get all plumbing etc done before you leave?

 

[raen]

just a tep set till I get back. I would love to make this a long term thing, just not right now. Later, when I can do it right. I need a lot!!!

 

[raen]

We will be in Fl next week........any good LFS? Not that I need any fish! Just ot brouse!

 

[raen]

Geesh......poor Sp. Srroy guys......3 hrs sleep is the pits!

 

[newreefbishop]

mmmmmmmm

well you can do the bare minimum.... a return pump, hoses bulkheads, and megaflow kit.....and a 20-25 gallon breeder for temp sump. no need for skimmer.....just need something to keep water flowing.....

OK one more (or two or three) St Pete Beach. How far are we? We have a place, we go every July. LOVE IT!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I will live there some day. As for flow, I've got it!!! I have that covered at least!

You know what...one of my LFS JUST had a sale. A buck a gallon up to 100 gallons and 2 bucks a gallon over that. They were all just tanks with black trim and not drilled, but for 400 buck you could have gotten a 180 and had someone drill it for you and put in a couple mega flows for about the same price....bummer. Sigh that being said I think that 350 for a drilled 120 is ok, but just my two cents.

I am familiar with north florida central and of course south florida where I live.......west coast well Busch Gardens, Rockin Reef and the beautiful beaches that I take my lovely wife to for weekend getaways......anyway....you can check here for LFS's in that area...

and this is the website to Rockin Reef

http://rockinreef.com/

I know there are more but not sure of locations.....I do know that they dont have as many as we do.....probably 20 reef stores in a 25 mile radius...

Tim dont forget tempered glass on the bottom.....doesnt take well to drilling....drilling the sides would have worked well though.....

 

[newreefbishop]

Your best bet would be to hit a local dive shop before you head out to find out the best spots for the time of year and depending on what you want to see.....

True enough about the tempering, but that overflow system tswifty is using looks very interesting, drilled high and on the back pane ???bean overflow i think?

Actually woosa is from "Bad Boys 2", sigh... I am a facilitator (basically a trainer) and a lot of my participants get a kick out of it when I do that. They stress a bit and that normally breaks the tension and all of a sudden everything starts to makes sense.
