LOL, old times. I remember when I had the original Palm V - I used to take the 30X from the Marina to Downtown. What a yuppy bus, everyone on their Palm Pilot and reading the soon to be Murdoch owned WSJ. My wife's Treo died yesterday and today she's setting up a business acct with Cingular. Hopefully I'll be adding my iPhone to that plan in about 56 hours. 
My SMS doesn't work with Sprint but should work with Cingular.
Thanks Nuuze for the legwork. Chad and I talked about this, 10 or 15 amp slow blows should work. I've blown through both. These are not common items in the US. I spent 2 days driving, calling, surfing - getting these in the right amp/volt/compact size (= more time, money). It worries me a little though - those should have been sent last week. I am 100% sure he got the request from Reefgeek. I think its great that Sfiligoi is coming out with new product, but honestly I'd love to see them fix the problems with the current line before they move on.
Edward - I've had things special ordered from Germany - my Aquasunlight NG, and my custom H&S skimmer and they both arrived very quickly. Like within a week. Glad that Giesemann is in that category.
So here are some equipment junkie pix.
A couple old B2 pix. The ph meter is really cool. So cool in fact its not in use, its on display.
Here is the SMS module. Waiting for my iPhone!
Here is the world's most exensive paperweight.
Above it is the Geotronic chiller, I'm going to use that, along with one or two Profilux Breeze fans to cool the tank.
And here is the light I purchased. Its actually a great light - nice wide MH reflectors. This came direct from German - I had ordered it right before Aqua-Medic US in Colorado burned down.

Too bad about the magnetic ballasts! Hope you can get that dialed in
iphone huh? I'm gonna wait until the next generatrion before spending the cash. I dropped like $400 on a 1st generation ipod. At the time it was state-of-the-art!!!! (10gig :lol: ) Won't be making that mistake twice.
For now, its all about the blackberry 8800
But I want soooo bad all the sync capabilities that iphone will have with my macbbok pro......
Anyways, I can't wait to see your tank in its full glory. You have a very beautiful set-up!!!
Cheers,
Jim

Some co2 toys.
This regulator is heavy. I mean HEAVY. It fits in the palm of your hand. The weight of it made me feel better about the price tag. :lol: But I knew if I was ever going to run a ca rx again - I wanted great equipment.
With the guages.
Solenoid. Extremely solid. I love all the numbered, hand written warrantees with the smallest of items.
Bubble counter and doohickie

Whats up Jim! Yeah man I've read every article. But the timing makes it for me. My wife's Treo died yesterday. I hate Sprint and my plan ended a month ago. I love my Treo but Sprint doesn't work well with SMS. I'm a Mac household - and I need seemless connectivity between my iMac, Macbook - and now phone. Plus my new car has MP3 that works well with iPods - but I never have my iPod with me unless I'm working out. So I'm sure I'll want to upgrade in 12 months - but thats ok. To have phone, iPod, internet, PDA all rolled into one - offsets a couple of the downsides.
A couple pix of the reactor itself. The big grey container is the media. Hope to get a co2 cannister from Reefgeek but I told him to wait and send it with the fuses & T5 ballast.
Its very tall. BILL, where are your pix? Am I going to have to take them for you?
And speaking of great service - got a knock on the door an hour ago and saw the UPS man. I thought my fuses were here - but it was from Roger Vitko. A holder broke on my 6045 and he mailed me a new one, no questions asked.

Wow!!! That looks REEEAAAALLL nice!! Gotta hand it to elos. Very nice stuff!!!
Yeah, my roommate is gonna get the iphone too.... I must admit, I'm pretty jealous!! We all run Mac's and have done so since college. It's so nice to have all the functions on one device. And for that device to run on Mac OS... well thats just a little slice of heaven! And I'm sure you'll be more than happy with it
I'll be tagging along, so hopefully there will be more pics in the future!!!

Jim

LOL Bill - I'm sure he would have if he had the internet.
Edward - not yet. Just got back from AT&T and got two new Treos. I'm just happy to dump Sprint. Can't use Sprint in Europe, can't get texts from my B2, and I drop calls like crazy. Not sure if I'll stand in line Friday at 6:00 p.m. considering its probably going to be 110 degrees.
LOL HWG - thats my el cheapo Ikea restaurant office. Just head over to Emoryville or Palo Alto and you too, can have one! :lol: The other rooms in my home are furnished by my wife. She has much better taste than I do. No Ikea. Here is our living room - she loves Italian furniture. She also did a great job with the tank room - its all Tommy Bahama-ish, but I do a good job making it look like a high school science experiment.

Hey Sidewinder - just a few more days of being the TOTM King! How will you enjoy your last few days of glory? We didn't move - had all sorts of delays with the new restaurant so it was too much to take on. I can't wait to move, though. So the boat hasn't been out in over six months. We're gonna try to get it up & running this week, then after next week, all the drawings are in and I have NOTHING to do for almost four months ... hint, hint ... 
Hey Chad - we need some pix of your setup! The Aquasunlight NG actually is a really nice light, Sidewinder actually helped me order that - its got very large reflectors for a DE. My biggest complaint is the weight since all ballasts are internal.
But as of last Friday - Reefgeek STILL has not received the fuses. We are now in the fourth week since the last fuse blew. How many fuses did you actually end up going thru? I'm thru five, I have no idea how many they are going to send. All I can say about Sfiligoi to this point is ... just HOPE nothing goes wrong with your fixture. It seems like a great light if it works, but you're up $h#t creek if something does go wrong with it. And it seems like the vendors themselves have their hands tied - they really can't help.
ps, no iPhone yet. still trying to decide - wait for more reviews on internet speed. my new blackberry curve is painfully slow on the Edge (same as iPhone uses). played with the iPhone though - really sweet. maybe edward & hrg are reading this post from theirs. :lol:
pps, I hate thos colums.
