About to place a livestock order to be shipped to my home in Vernon from Oceansdirect.ca. I have already hit the free shipping amount so let me know if you wanna add to my order before it is placed.

Thanks, Shawn.

Welcome to Canreef...good to see another Vernonite on here. I've never heard of this Oceansdirect before but will check out their site.

Where in Vernon are you? Tell us about your tank?

Good to hear of ya.

I'm up on Middleton Mtn, Mt Ida Drive.

I have a 500litre reef tank ( I think that is 130g maybe 140g? ) with about 220lbs of live rock.

I'm new to aquariums but have had my tank going since Mid December.

I'll post more at a later date, gotta go to bed now. I work at the brewery and start really early tomorrow

Later, Shawn.

Wow...so where did you get your tank? What do you have in it now? Can you tell us some about your equipment...like skimmer, sump, flow...

I live down near the Walmart...but have had my tank running for about 4 years.

Kind of interesting, how a new user lists a company to do a group order with that not many people have heard of.

Got my tank from complete pet mart in town here, manager is a friend of ours, too bad they are closing. Scott helped me set it up and I traded him about 40 dozen beer for equiptment

I have about 220 lbs of live rock (including in sump) bought from AJ's, Complete pet mart, and Island Pets.

I run two MH 150w bulbs with two double T5's as well as a small light over the sump.

I was given a small protein skimmer (beer trade) that hung on my sump but a month later it developed a leak so I removed it. Ran with no skimmer for 7ish months, last week I bought at CPM a Lee's 17110 large PS, the thing may be ugly in my display but it was only $20, because as I try to nurse my sun coral back from starvation I am overfeeding my tank.

I run an Aquaclear 110 hanging off my sump.

I have some pump (lol) in my sump that was given to me (beer trade) that seems to do the job. The sump is either 15 or 20 gallons.

I have Zoanthids, a long tenacle anemone ( I think ), some torchs, two frogspawns, two toadstools and a starved sun coral.

Copperband butterfly, yellow tang, six green chromis, a sixline wrasse, two yellow headed jawfish, 2 false perculas, a pink skunk clow, an orange spotted sand sifting goby and 4 small yellow clown gobies,.

I'm ordering a blue hippo tang and some zoa frags.
