sumpfinfishe 01-15-2012 05:49 PM

Thanks, its a standard aqueon 48x12.5x13

and sadly yes brad im still running old school tubes,
tho i did get some nice t5's this time around:razz:

Delphinus 01-15-2012 05:52 PM

Hey Rich, nice to hear from you. See you again in another year or two when you next post "who's still here?" :p

sumpfinfishe 01-15-2012 06:10 PM

Wow i didn't see anything on my calender but it
must be trash on rich day today:biggrin:

Delphinus 01-15-2012 06:44 PM

So whatcha got under those tealights? (BTW I've never seen 20k tealights before, cool! I don't think you can get those at the IKEA over here.)

sumpfinfishe 01-15-2012 07:21 PM

Hi Tony, the tea lights are actually two double banks of
coralife t5's an running two actinics and two 10k.
I'm pretty sure they will work for what i have planned
for this setup, which wont be anything too crazy
just some lps an such. So far i have two tomatoe clowns,
a yellow tang an watchmen gobie. As for corals, as single
crown of hammer, a closed and an open brain an a few
feather dusters. No skimmer as of yet an this one is sumpless
so just a hob filter an a few koralia 425s for flow.
I guess i will need to edit my username to
sumplessfishe now:mrgreen:

Welcome back Rich. We use clouds these days. Just kidding for now.

SeaHorse_Fanatic 01-15-2012 08:13 PM

Wow, back from the dead or what?

Nice 33g long Rich. Good to see an old-timer come back.

Anthony

sumpfinfishe 01-15-2012 08:35 PM

Hi guys, nice to be back:biggrin:

Sam you still have the same tank running?

Anthony how many tanks do you have up now?

Chin_Lee 01-15-2012 08:49 PM

Heya Rich
Good to see you back. You still living down the safeway?
I'm still in the same place. I've downsized to 120g - one tank only.
Unlike anthony........ who downsized but has 8 tanks.

Jason McK 01-15-2012 08:52 PM

Hey Rich, Good to see you have some water in a box again. I'm sure you will be back getting gobbies to breed in no time

J

sumpfinfishe 01-15-2012 08:53 PM

bwhahahaha some how i just knew anthony would have more than one:lol:

no chin i'm out in langley now, sold the old pad last summer and got me
a new pad on the top floor so now i can damage four floors with a flood-not!

That's only 7 tanks (downsizing as in volume only).

I sold my 210g with 75g sump, but since then have added a 3g fw shrimp, 4g sw Volcano shrimp, 8g Fluval Flora red frogfish, 34g Red Sea Max, and 30g fw planted (for my wife). My two main tanks are a 2' cube anemone/clownfish and a 165g full reef.

sumpfinfishe 01-15-2012 09:35 PM

Hi J hows your tank doing?

marie 01-15-2012 11:08 PM

Beverly 01-15-2012 11:29 PM

Yup, I guess I'm in the old farts category... and I'm back from a few year hiatus, too. Good to see you, Rich :)

StirCrazy 01-16-2012 01:30 PM

I swear I banned you. Let me go check. While I'm doing that, why don't you go get a tank? This is a forum for people with tanks. Containing water...

Chin_Lee 01-16-2012 02:55 PM

yeah funny i took about a year and half hiatus. now i'm back into the groove. I guess we all go through these episodes of depression and interest.

TimT 01-16-2012 04:12 PM

Hey Rich,

Glad to see your back. I love the idea of floating tealights in a tank. Kinda romantic when all the lights are out.

Cheers,
Tim

christyf5 01-16-2012 04:29 PM

Welcome back Rich! Nice to see Tabby hasn't lost her interest either :wink:
