KMHREEFER

Tools and woodworking isn’t much of an issue for me, more or less comes down to time. My projects always seem to take much longer than they need to. Lol. I think I want to take it slow with this tank though, plan things out a little better than acting on impulse....easier said than done though.

Thanks, I’ll take a look. They don’t look too hard to build. Before xmas a few fish stores had some used stands for $100-200, which would be hard to pass up if I see again. As for the tank I think I have a reef ready 220 I can get but I’ve been keeping my eye on yours in case that falls through.

Thinking of upgrading at tax time if everything works out and was interested in seeing if anyone had a 6 foot stand to fit either a 180-220 gallon tank that they were willing to part with. Was going to build one but thought I’d check here first and save a little time.

I’ve looked into glass cages but the shipping added on top of the cost of the tank was way more than I was looking to spend. I’ve called a few lfs’s and got a few rounded quotes for much less and they take care of most of the shipping cost. Just seems like it’s usually a sale price that never lasts.

I am looking to upgrade around tax time to a 180-240 gallon glass reef tank preferably reef ready. At the moment I’m focusing on a new tank but was wondering if anybody had any recommendations on where to get one for a good price. I’m located in Fostoria and have found some close by for a decent price but figured couldn’t hurt to look around a bit.

Anybody use t5’s anymore? Lol

A pic from amazon to show what it is. Was used for 6 months and is in great shape. Has 4 ATI bulbs in it, 6 months old and the original 4 wave point bulbs that came with it never been used. Also added one diamond white and one actinic blue Current USA strip on each side able to be dimmed as a little extra color and par. Asking $175 for wave point fixture and spare bulbs or $225 for fixture, bulbs, and both LED strips. Also open to trades. Located in fostoria.

No, have a lot of rock in my tank and plenty of cavernous places for an eel. Always wanted a zebra eel in my reef from the beginning. Taking all rock and corals out hopefully tomorrow to re-scape with much less rock and clutter. The big eel might feel a little exposed for a while but should be fine until I find him a bigger home.

I miss my open top too but have gotten used to the mesh top, extra guard for my wrasse as well.

He won’t touch shrimp for whatever reason but crabs never last more than 24 hrs. Have a fire shrimp that rides around on his head cleaning his mouth. I know your pain, added the wrong type of pistol shrimp and it disappears on me any time I attempt to catch it. Re-scaping my tank soon so gonna get him then.

Still available if anyone is interested.

It’s crossed my mind but end of this month and most of next month my weekends are pretty booked.

I have a carbon reactor that I change out 2 cups of carbon usually bi-weekly. I think the leather was fine the last few years until reached its current size. Measured it today at 12 inches across and in a 4 foot tank it simply needs more room. Almost fragged off some of it but couldn’t bring myself to risk killing it. Heard the yellow leathers had a poorer success rate after fragging. I’m interested to see what happens to my sps once the leather is gone and I can open up more flow.
