ricky its moe! I live really close to you in Des Plaines how much LR can I get from you thanks and softies I can help you out with what ever thanks.

Hey Moe, Thanks for the offer. The only softies I have are the pink mushrooms, LR will be dependant on how/when the corals are sold, mostly are attached.

Do you have any pics of this reactor or any additional info? I really think I need a reactor. I'm currently fighting off hair algae.
AquaC XP Plus Phosphate Reactor - 4 inch Diameter
I already started checking it out...how do you feed the reactor...powerhead? Can you have 2 of them being fed by one pump? Perhaps one for Phosphate remover and the other for Activated carbon? Do you have to fill the entire cylinder?
I may be in for both reactors.

I have some pics of the CA reactor but I'm really tight on time right now, check MarineDepot, that's where I got my package at but I upgraded the CO2 tank size.
The AquaC XP have new seals and do not leak (this was a concern when they came out) and I use my Reeflo Dart pump for water circulation to the CA and Phosphate/carbon reactors.

AW ricky...you will be missed here up north...but anything that's better for you and the family has my support. If you need anything just let me know. PM me a good time to stop by so I can maybe pick up some frags from you.(Especially any millieporas you might have after my water changing problem, I'm looking to replace some.) I can always frag things back and ship some to you in Texas when your ready to start up again. LMK

Thank you! It will take 1-2 years before I can back in, just thinking about it makes my body itch. I'm a reefaholic

Thanks Aiko for stoping by and picking up the kitchen cabinets

[ouuduy]

what route would you be taking to texas. i live in wichita kansas . interested i the tank and maybe some other stuff

 

[beba]

how much live rock do you have?
I have empty 150g tank so I can get whatever you have.(corals, LR, LS etc)

 

[sutec13]

It looks like you have some LPS in the tank. Is that for sale? I'm very interested in chalices, oxypora, etc. THANKS

 

[rickyb]

ouuduy, we are taking 57 to Arkansas.

beba, Lots of live rock available but corals need to be sold first. Almost every rock will have some base coral attached, so basically FREE coral.

Still plenty of corals left, Everyone that had stop by have made a dent but there is still LOTS left. BTW - THANK YOU!

sutec13, all the LPS are gone.

Sorry to hear this Ricky! I got some frags from you 2 weeks from you and they are doing great. I was the young kid.I might be interested in dropping by after work tomorrow. I got a job at sea schor.Let me know if this work we can always do it another time.

 

[jonreed]

Sorry to hear that you are leaving. I just moved up here from Texas (San Antonio). If you ever want to get back into reefing and depending on where you are moving, there is a great group down there called MAAST (Marine Aquarist Assoc. of South Texas). Check out there site at www.maast.org if interested.

Good Luck

 

[rickyb]

Glad to hear the corals are doing great Blake. Stop by tomorrow I'll be home all day doing remodeling... well I think mostly watching.

Jonreed, we are moving to the DFW area, but we used to live in San Antonio for about 1.5 years. Thanks for the info, it will take some time before I get back in.

If anyone is interested in stoping by tomorrow Sat, please contact me at my cell 630-202-3137
