Just want to say HI

[Tom R]

Welcome Ruth

I ran into a fellow reefer at J&L on the weekend she was from up north and she was buying up a storm. I recommended her to Canreef. By any chance was that you.

That's me! Hello.

[Tom R]

I told you that Canreef was site that would interesting you.
Hope all your purchases made the trip OK. I bought a dottyback who has since jumped out of the tank and died. It is most upsetting when something like that happens. You spend all that time picking the best in the store.

I noticed another thread of yours asking about water top off. I have my RO/DI set up with an auto shutoff to a 45G food grade barrel and a gravity feed to a Kent float valve in my sump. This fully automatic without any dosing pumps and works well.
Next time your in Vancouver let me know and I will show you how it works.

Thanks Tom. It was great to meet you and thanks for referring me to this site. It's great to talk to some people from the west. I have ordered a top up system from Harvey that looks like it will work great but would still love to see your system and tank too!
So far everything is doing well but the clam is not opening as much as I would like. I will give him a few more days and then maybe try moving him up in the tank a little. I have it in the sand bed so the light might not be penetrating far enough for his liking.

Heck, I'm moving to a bigger place just to have bigger tanks. Already have a 7' fowlr & 6' reef tank cycling at the new place & I'm not moving till July 31. Thank God I have a wife who enjoys this hobby (about 10% as much as me of course). Again, Ruth, welcome to the reefer addict board.

PS. I've already run out of space in the new place & we haven't even moved in yet.

OMG, I have an appointment to talk to an architect about drawing up some blueprints to have an addition added onto my house and it will have a - gulp- fish room so I can plan for a 4 or 500g system. Anthony I had not even thought about the bigger place thing, I have to admit that I did think about moving as well but the thought of moving a 230g and a 190g makes me cringe.
