Tim’s Rabbit Hole Journey

[wowatracy]

I picked them up from a fellow R2R friend @wowatracy. Maybe he will see this and remember where he got them

@Weasel1960 I got the tanks from here. The tank itself is not too expensive but the shipping is. It took me a while to just think of the entire price rather than thinking about how expensive the shipping is.

@Weasel1960 looks like this tank company has a plant/shipping point in Iowa and Illinois. Maybe you can save some money on shipping by taking a day trip if they allow customer pickup

Thanks for the info. Yes shipping is crazy on these and for some reason higher to a residential address over a commercial address. This company sells through a local farm implement store so maybe can get them to order it with other stock.

Success! We have clown hosting. I didn’t realize that they don’t like Condylactis. But they love this new Bubble Tip.

 

[tricky_tran]

New inhabitants that came along with the Bubble Tip. I love the coloring in these 2.

hmm guess its just the lighting, he looks happy thought to me and my no experience self

HI,yeah beautiful nem.!!.... and...SPBLAM.....

 

[tricky_tran]

Sigh. I thought the bad stuff went out with 2020. I’m guessing this is from a bottom seal. There is a local Reefer selling a used 90 Gal ELOS for $450 (pick up this weekend) or just go with my 180 gal tank now for $3500 (not sure if in stock and have to custom make)?

 

[MERKEY]

Oh man, so sorry to see this!

Glad you have a couple options, I vote 180g!

Enabling is what we do

 

[F i s h y]

Oh no! That really stinks... 3500 is a chunk, but this may be a sign. Every reefers worst nightmare. Good luck.

 

[F i s h y]

Also I vote 180

 

[fishguy242]

bummer ,hate to see!

 

[tricky_tran]

So I think I found the leak and might have fixed it. Looks like it was coming from the overflow box. I had changed the seal configuration due to a recommendation from some here in the forums. Well, it didn’t work and was dripping ever but slowly. I redid it with a new seal and it seems good so far.
