Hi everyone!
 

Hi guys/gals (?)

(are there any gals here?)

Glad to be posting here...
sorry, the sump at RDO is just a lot of fun. :D

Yesterday I ordered an aquarium from Danny - 72L x 22h x 30d. (I think that it works out to about 204 u.s. gallons) I'm setting up a closed loop circ system with a couple of 1" seaswirls and using my present fw-style 180 as the new refugium and seahorse tank. I'm going to order another tank from Danny as soon as I figure out what I want.

Anyways, Tony has seen my setup, and I've got quite a few corals avail. to frag, and if any of you are willing to help me move my system, you're welcome to any frags of what I've got. ;) :D

If you want pics, I can post them, if there are any plumbing experts out there, I'd like to to talk to you. There's a pump place over on 42nd avenue that I can get flexible PVC from, and I'm open to plumbing setup suggestions.

I just bought a new house and want to move into it within the next two months.

Thanks! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hey Mitch,

Welcome to the board. Yes there are gals here. [img]smile.gif[/img] a couple.

What help you lookig for with plumbing? I am setting up my new 45 and am actually doing all the plumbing as we speak. flex PVC and such.

There are a few guys here who have a good amount on knowledge with plumbing here. Maybe some of us can help you out.

Hi everyone!
 

Thanks Darren, eli,

here's a list of my corals:
acropora
pocillopora
seriatopora
nephthea
hydnophora
goniopora
trachyphyllia
caulastrea
platygyra
pectinia
turbinaria
heliopora
sarcophyton
lobophytum
sinularia
gorgonian
discosoma
:D

Some are fraggable and some are not, but I thought I'd post the entire list. Also, some are small and there will only be 1 or 2 frags avail from a particular colony.

I've got to figure out a setup for plumbing a closed loop/refugium setup with maybe a 180g upstairs, the 204g and 180g seahorse downstairs.

oh, and I've got 5 BTA's, a couple of which are free to a good home. (MH lighting, and an experienced reefer)

eli, what's your set - up? Do you have a business or something? I'll be needing a fair amount of stuff.

Hi everyone!
 

I can help you move stuff too. Hey if you WANT to give me a frag in return, that's cool, but even if not, that's OK too, we just need to get the reefers together and help out each other once in a while! I hate being an island.

From what store are you getting your plex PVC?

Hi everyone!
 

i have found a place that will sell 10ft CPVC for aprox 30$/ft i need 4ft is anyone else intetrested. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hi everyone!
 

I would, but I can't do it right now. Funds are diverted in too many other directions. If you were to wait say about a month or two, I'd be in for some.

Hi everyone!
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">30$/foot? Really? That seems a bit much, but I haven't priced it out yet. Tony, the pump place is across from "The Silver Dollar Casino" on 42nd avenue.
Too much gridlock with the snow we got today for me to bother driving around too much.

Mitch

Hi everyone!
 

I am remiss in never posting to this forum. I posted in other places regarding forming some sort of club. I did that way meet Tony Slotboom, and Deb Hadford. Tony visited me and I went to Deb's place a couple of times. I gave Deb some of my Frilly Green Mushroom, and Tony gave me some Xenia. The Xenia in my 33 is not doing that well, but is Okay in my 10 gallon nano. I am not all that experienced in reefing, but am struggling along. I would like to hear from other people. :rolleyes:

Hi everyone!
 

hey bob
Nice to hear from more calgary reefers
I did not know there were actually more than 5 haha
anyway if you look in the reef forum. there is a guy from edmonton "djbravoleader"
That is trying to set up a alberta club and i myself would love to set up a Calgary club.
Tony is the only fellow reefer i have met and i know there is many more out there.
Cheers

Hi Mitch, you don't know the name offhand do you?

Hi everyone!
 

Hi Mitch.

When are you going to move the aquarium? I am have half moved to Fort Mac, but seem to still spend quite a bit of time in Calgary. If I am around I will help. I have a truck you can use or I can pull the mini van out of storage if you want to give it a smother ride home. As for plumbing and pumps I have become fond of hydroponics stores. Anyhow, good luck.

Hi everyone!
 

Tony, I'll drive past the place and post the name for you.
Danny, the planned move date is mid April, but I have a 204 gallon that will be ready in about a week and a half (March 19th or so), and I'm going to be putting a closed loop system on it and will be setting up a separate mechanical room to hold skimmer, CA reactor, RO/DI, small sump, and electrical.

Here's a pic of my present setup. http://www.picturelist.com/images/ca...f/dscn0013.jpg

The tank pictured will be a new refugium/seahorse tank, separated by a wall of LR with acrylic rods for structure support.

My new basement can be a great place for club meetings, too ;)

Mitch

Hi everyone!
 

Actually I found a place by serendipity, I don't know if it's the same place or not. I needed some acrylic and I just picked a place at random. Saw the flex PVC at this place plus a host of other goodies.
