zoo tank updates

Thanks Adam. I alrready responded to that thread. Where the heck is batavia anyway? If anyone has a large enough vehicle I would be willing to take a ride. It seems like a decent price. the question is do we need the Rena filter? Nate indicated their is a species of sea horse that can tolerate higher tempos which means we could plumb the systems together. Anyone know about pipefish temp sensitivities?
 
When I was younger I attended a Grateful Dead show in Buffalo. After the show, we stayed at a Hotel in Batavia (outside of Buffalo).
 
I would drive there for a dead show. I'm not sure I'd drive that far for a 29 gallon tank. Perhaps if he met us half way. Or bring Bob Weir along.
 
That looks great Adam. A heck of a lot closer. I'm super busy this week. Any chance you or someone can place an inquiry. If it sounds good maybe someone could snag it. Ryan M. livbes super close to Nichols and has a truck. Perhaps he can lay out the cash. So if you can check and see if its available and I can call Ryan and ask him to pick it up.
 
I am leaving thursday night for the beach so I won't be available. I have emailed the about the tank on craig's list and am waiting for a response
 
hey jerry have you talked to zooqi about his rock donation...that would fill the tank a little more while we wait on the DIY rock...
 
I contacted the guy (Peter) with the 29 G tank/stand etc for sale. It is still available and he sent me pics. He is willing to meet somewhere to exchange the tank for payment. I am leaving tomorrow for vacation, and he will be on vacation the next week. He would like to get rid of it ASAP. Can some take over the reins on this transaction? If you PM me your email, I can put you in contact. Thanks,
Adam
 
Thanx Adam, I would do this but am leaving in the AM for the weekend. It would be great if someone could tackle this or at least let him know we could take it off his hands after his vacation. I'd hate to see this opportunity slip by. If someone could lay out the cash i could reimburse immediately upon my return Sunday.
 
yes, I believe so, that's what he said. Can you tell from the pic?

Not sure if it was posted or not. What is the cost of the 29Gal Tank/Stand? Also, how are we on budget. Need to ensure we have the funds for livestock.

By the way are we meeting Sat/Sun at the zoo to work on the tank?
 
Last time I posted a link...it did not work. This is what it said.

Sellers name was "lennyd19" and at this time, all the coral is spoken for

That is a 29 tall. I am still in Boston. Our budget can definitely allow for that if someone can hook that deal up.
 
Was any work done on the tank this week. If not, when can folks, especially NRogers meet next to work on plumbing.

Paul, how is the lighting going?

I saw some beautiful reef tanks this week at the Boston aquarium and a local reef shop. I am re-inspired to get this baby going.
 
I should have the electrical compete by Sunday.
I'll bring it to the zoo so we can discuss how to mount to the ceiling via pulleys. I belive the plan was to use pullys but also have chains to the corners as a safety fall back.
 
Excellent Paul. I you are able, could you pick up the pulley hardare that you think we need. One or two pulley system. Then post when we can meet at the zoo to install.

I received the replacement bulkhead. So Nate, please post when we can meet.
