Calgary - 24" NO Bulbs New

[EmilyB]

I ordered the wrong size bulbs - I can't even find a box to ship these back (they came in a huge box with a bunch of longer lamps). Before I go box hunting is there anyone in Calgary who uses 24" NO ?

I have one Coralife 10,000k (28.95) and one Phillips 03.(17.95) Let's skip the GST and what it would cost me to ship them back, plus my grief in finding a box and repacking and say $35 for both.

Hi,

Do you still have these? I might be able to use them.

Cheers,
Alan

I do Alan.

Ok.........

so that's a definite no then :D

I'M sorry, Deb - I fell asleep at the computer, and the puddle of drool on the keyboard was enormous. I finally had it drying in the sun today (first sunny day, right?) So, my apologies for not replying in a more timely fashion. ;)

I was thinking also about your ailing anemone - my pair of ocellaris are hostless - and then BANG it was snapped up, apparently. But you did mention it may be while before it is ready to transplant.

As for the Bulbs, I think I can use them in the future, after my hood mods are finished, but I hate buying for the future. My pile of "future" stuff is gi-normous. But yes, I should get them from you. If you're anxious to unload them, then please let me know.

I'm curious about your new tank - Bargain Finder? I saw a 90 with cherry stand/canopy, 4 mos. old for 500, and I had to say DOH! And those huge bowfronts recently for 800-1000, yow! Sounds like you guys got the "includes specimens" deal.

Thanks, cheers,

Alan

Normal reefer then...

I emailed that guy, but he never responded, nor do I know who he is. So, the anemone is still looking for the best home.

No, I could go hunting around the city for a box longer than 24 " to return them, or I could keep them, or I could DIY them to fit the 20g FW. It's not a huge issue.

No, actually, it was just someone who works with my husband. His son moved to Australia. Just a 50g with stand.

The quote function works differently here, hope you can decipher that mess..

Hey there,

I know the guy that wants the BTA - he seems a good chap. I am also interested, but only if and when it's ready. Sounds like it's been through the mill. I have 4 'OVRNO' tubes and 2 actinic on a 90, maybe it would do OK here.

The 24" would come into play when I put the 250w MH over one side, for those with higher light requirements.

Is $30 okay for the bulbs? (Please forgive me if haggling is offensive to you. [img]smile.gif[/img] )

And yes, your message was easily decipherable, after I saw your part. Glad I didn't read that late last night... ;)

Cheers,

Alan

Sure, $30 is fine, if we do that soon. I haven't heard back from the other fellow as to make a deal on the anemone, and would prefer it is not just taken and resold. Therefore, I would be happy to hold it for you.

It is actually in very good color. A bit weak, just starting to eat, and continually moving around yet. Overall, looks pretty sweet. I can pic you if you'd like.

Let me know soon, so at least I know how to proceed with it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

It's under 60w as a small intro, and has been pretty timid, so may need some time.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I'm not in a hurry for it, just want it to be well enough. I could pick up the lamps in the next day or two, and take a peek at it?? Please e-mail your phone # if that sounds OK.

I'm in the NW near Crowchild & Stoney. Hopefully you're not part of the Priddis group. :D
