Thanks! Not bad for mostly free huh??? :bounce: I was able to pick up the skimmer for $85 shipped on ebay and the pumps for $115 shipped. At the LFS it woulda cost me about $300 for them together. The new fitting gaskets were $10, $40 for swing checks, and $20 for new hose. I am in it for...

I was waiting for a big sea bird to swoop down and grab a baby....I thought that was going to be the big deal. Other than seeing a shark being cleaned it wasn't a big deal to me either. I can see how this would bother those who are not subject to this often and find it hard to watch.

And here are some of the early pictures.... Once I get it cleaned-up I'll begin to fill and cycle. Just in case someone asks, this tank belonged to my buddy who closed his office he had it in. He gave me the tank, sump, light and cabinet free. The plumbing was in bad shape so I just went with...

Thanks!!!!

It's been quite some time now since I last posted in this forum but thought I would get back in and see how things are going. My fiance and I just bought a nice newer home near the beach in Port Hueneme, California and thought "what's better than the beach nearby"? Setting up a beach in our...

I'm done in this thread. Thank you to those who helped.

Thanks! Nice firefish btw.:D

Thanks....my feather duster is now named lily :Cheers:

I know you said this yesterday and will give it a try. The spots are quite small right now.

:D I think we can agree to disagree to an extent on this one, again in spirit. The difference to me is not that great and from what I see so far, keeping my heavily planted freshwater tanks over the years seems to be more maintenance than this one. But again its a difference of opinion and...

Thanks Picasso :Cheers:

:lol: I would say you didn't miss a thing. Just alot of misunderstandings. But I will still say I disagree with Biff for that same comment. Not that fish are not carriers but not all fish are carriers. Fish that have never been in contact with the parasite do not/can't automatically carry it...

Look, I really appreciate the comments and all. There is a distinct difference between feedback and disrespect. Feedback and critism is helpful, disrespect is not. I'll stick with the forum but I need to state that 20+ years of freshwater experience can't be thrown out the window as it were. My...
