Shao,

If you need my truck let me know. I can't help out at the moment cause I am at school programming like mad.. but I am not far away. You can use it.

damn.....

because i am getting stung like there is no tommorrow, any large bristle worms i find will be discarded, free for the taking if you want them, let me know asap and i may hold them for a day.

Sorr to hear that Shao, wish I were closer!! Keep us posted...

anthelia has been used as a sacrificial lamb to the reef gods and has now been given to them via the porcelain god!

p.s. my pc is right beside my reef, thats why i can keep posting!
plus i need some breaks to clear my head!

Sorry to hear about your tank.

I have a starfoam cooler, some 5 Gallon pails and a few heaters you could borrow.

I will PM you with my number if you need it.

Yah, that's gotta suck Shao. It's everyones worse nightmare

Keep us posted...

You are asking for an overflow in the buy/sell, does that mean you got a new tank but undrilled?

smokinreefer · #9 05-12-2003, 03:12 AM

hey jack...
i'm still emptying the tank now...
as for the new tank, i need one asap and the only thing i can find with the same footprint as my tank are 180s, and i havent been able to find one instock that is predrilled or has a built in overflow.
so i think i'm gonna get a 180 and then i'll have to plumb an external overflow on it later.
i found a 155 bowfront but their asking 1500 which is way outta my budget.
even the cost of a 180 is gonna hurt, but what can you do...
i was tinkering with the idea of downsizing, but for me, that would require a custom tank, but i just dont have the time to wait for it.
