Dan,

My daughter Morgan wanted me to thank you again. All evening she has talked about nothing more than Dan gave me 2 Zoa frags for $10. Thank you from me also. It made her day.

Here is a pic of the plastic bins I talked to you about. Need to get real measurements on them but I plowed the snow against the shed that they are now stored in. The same shed that My big tank is in. Morgan has the bug again after the swap and wants to set up the tank here at the new house now.

Thank you,she is adorable .I am so glad when I see a child get the spark in there eye as they study the corals in my tank.It is very rewarding to meet new people like you and your daughter each year at these events.Really makes all the work worth while.

Count me in on the container,no rush,lol.I can wait til the snow melts
 
Not a problem. You want only one? I have a total of 4 I want to use one (maybe 2) in the build here at the new house. I think they will work so much better than stock tanks because of the flat sides. They were used to ship custom electronic compnents in from Germany. Never saw any chemicals. They have been bouncing around our hiding spots at work for a few years because we were going to do something with them. I actually made one into a Skippy filter for my pond at the old house. The owners of the company did their every 8 year visit to the US site and we had to clean out all of the hiding places. More "cool" stuff to take home according to me.... more "junk" brought home according to the girlfriend.

I'm going to need to search for a new Protien skimmer for the new setup here at this new house. Thinking I need to shoot for one rated to 500gals or so . The plan is to tie my 150 and 125 into one of these as the sump. there is also another piece of "junk" that I have the gears rolling for another work-in.

Tough to really see in the picture. I figured out the volume calculator at almost 65 gallons.
 
:thumbsup:

Nice job Dan! The youngsters are the future of this hobby!

PS.
Frags are doing great, the idaho grape cap is still my favorite, definitely not the same coral as my other "idaho grape cap", I'm going to need to start calling the other "sometimes lavendar, sometimes maroon" cap.
