Starting the STARS frag tank

Erik, thanks for posting that Andy has already been selected by members of STARS as the host of the STARS frag tank and that it is his tank and his choice to get the tank he wants and not what anybody else wants or thinks it should be. It is not open for discussion or to be changed as to where or who will have the tank, unless it is done at a meeting and voted on by members. Luis, thank you for offering and as Erik said it is greatly appreciated.

Erik you are the chairman in charge of the frag tank project, it was your idea and you done the research into it. But we all have to work together and also remember the tank will belong to Andy and he will have to work closely with you in making all of this work.

I know it can work out well for all club members and be a good thing, but it could also turn out to be a not so good thing if not ran properly and taken care of in a manner to benefit club members. We also have to be sure that no corals are ever given out to people that don't qualify as club members. It is a little vague as to who is or is not a club member but that can be figured out if a question should arise by contacting our fine secretary Audrey (nmnative) to find out if the person in question has attended meetings and or taken an active part here on the forum to qualify as a STARS member. None of this should be any kind of an issue for sometime because it will be sometime before the system is in place and any frags are ready to be given out.

Erik Please call me at your convenience there are a few things we should talk about. (575)494-0481. If I don't answer please leave a message and I will get back to you ASAP
Yes I did just publicly post my cell number, I am always open for any call from any member that has a question or idea that they need or want to discuss.
:wave:
 
Quotes on the tank are still coming in. Looks like because of the holidays the tank will not arrive until mid to late feb. I am still awaiting word from Derek at Miracles about shipping costs and arrival date.
 
Erik, any update on this project? I am sure you have been busy with the holidays and all just like the rest of us, so just curious is all. :wave:
 
Text me man at 6023187741. Monday would be a good day i dont work. I just found a ice pack ballast . I dont have the wire for it tho. Ill wIre the 250 MH today.
 
Ok guys, I talked to Andy yesterday and it seems that he is going to go with a glass tank after all. He told me he would be ordering the tank next week, but the tank won't be getting here until late Feb. As far as materials go for the tank, I have not picked up anthing that was offered by the members. I was thinking that the people that offered equipment for the tank could bring it to the meeting on Sunday January 30th. This way everybody that shows up to the meeting physically sees what we have for the tank. I will make some hand receipts for the items that way the treasure has record of the equipment. Any equipment not used will be given back to the person who donated it.

As far as equipment goes, this is what has been offerd by the members:
Pedro: bubble blaster pump
Jmait769: 40 gallon sump
Psuedopimp: Quiet one return pump
Chuy: pvc plumbing, and also offered electrical work
Tzhanks: plumbing and bulk heads
John: light fixture
Saldebo: light fixture
Jay508: sumps and HOB overflow.
Hans: dj power strip

Also Hans and I will be splitting the cost of an Octopus NWB 150 protein skimmer If anybody else is willing to split the cost, please let us know.

Please let me know if you can't make it to the meeting and I will arrange a pick up for next weekend.

Seems like a good idea.
 
I don't have any extra equipment at the moment but I have several corals I will donate once the tank is established.
 
I dug out my old Reefkeeper2 controller last night and tried to fire it up to no avail. I think it just needs to have the fuse replaced. I ordered some this morning and they should be here early next week. If I can get it working I am more than willing to donate it to the frag tank.

Most likely I will not make the meeting or many meetings. I travel too much for work so the wife and kids have alot of stuff for me to do on the weekends. :)
 
Ok guys and gals,
The meeting is fast approaching. I would like to once more reach out to the club and ask for the items that will be donated for the club frag tank. If you will be attending the meeting and have something to donate please bring it to the meeting. If you have something to donate and will not be able to attend the meeting please contact me and I will gladly pick it up. The tank has been ordered and will be here February 8th. The reason I want to collect everything by the date of the meeting is so everybody in the club that attends the meeting can see what we have to start the tank, and what will still be needed.

Anything that can be donated will be greatly appreciated. If you don't have any equipment to donate, anything tank related will help ie: salt, test kits, supplements.

Thank you all, with your help we will get this club frag tank to a great start.

Was cleaning out the fish room and found an old style Korilia powerhead. Not sure what size it is. It is getting a vinegar bath now. I will find a way to get it to the meeting.

I replaced the fuse on the RK2 and it is still not working properly. I know the unit still works so I suspect I need to replace the fuse housing. Digital Aquatics doesn't sell the piece I need so I will try to fix it myself. If I can't I will send it to them to repair.
 
Ben,

thanks again for your contribution. If you would like since I live close to where you work, maybe you could bring it with you to work and I could pick it up when you get out of work. If you are not pressed on time after work you can stop by my appartment and drop it off and check out my set up.
 
Erik, if it is ok I would like to take the sump to Andy or we can coordinate dropping it off at his/your convenience. Just don’t want to take it all the way to EP as it will not fit in my Civic! :)
