I have two 36" Customsealife power compact lights/hoods for sale. They came with a tank I bought. They are around a year old but look new, no scratches or salt problems. They were over a 180 gallon tank with glass tops and for fish only. They each have a 96w "smartlamp" which is half actinic...

I am looking for a 72" triple MH 250w lighting set up. Component or combo with PC. It can be retro or hood as I will build and add fans as needed. Please email me at donmgates@hotmail.com

I am looking for a 180 gallon all glass tank with dual internal overflow boxes (one per corner), drilled for drains and returns, in good condition. I live in Florida but drive between FL and Chicago several times a year. Thanks anyway, I just found one here in Orlando.

Actually I am going to the Keys for a week and am considering bringing back live sand from Florida Bay or the Atlantic. I will be diving and snorkeling for a week for lobsters. Since I have my own boat and free labor with me, I thought I'd make the most of the trip. We go a few times a year and...

I have noticed while shopping online for metal halides that there is quite a range of pricing on bulbs. What brands should be avoided and what brands are acceptable? I am looking for 3 250w or 3 400w set up for a new tank and considered buiding it myself as I built my 90 gal VHO hood. What...

Thanks. My 90 has been set up about 10 years and has an older syle 2" bed that is established. I wanted to start out my new tank with a DSB. Will live sand "store" okay for a several days in a plastic tub or cooler with seawater and pump?

What is an ideal depth for live sand? I was guessing about 3 inches? If I have my live sand before my tank is quite ready, will it be okay in a plastic tub with a power head moving the water for a few days? I am getting ready to set up a second reef tank (a 180).

I live between Orlando and Titusville, maybe an hour from you. Send me an email at either dmgates@aol.com or donmgates@hotmail.com.

I am guessing about 55 gal. I would rather go with more surface and shallower if I can find a suitable tank. 48" long is what I am looking for. I am flexible since I will build the base to match the size and style (acrylic or glass). I would like to find a used acrylic from a lfs instead of a...

I am in the planning stages for a frag tank. Can anyone give me recommendations for lighting needs for a frag tank that will be mostly zoos and softies? PC vs T5 vs MH vs VHO I plan to try to find a relatively shallow tank to give me more area and less water for the lighting to go through. Any...

My hotmail account has problems. Please email me at dmgates@aol.com.

Are you sure it was another male and not a molt? Molts look just like a dead one.

I have a 90 gal reef tank but am considering setting up a propagation tank for zoos and softies. Any suggestions on tank size, depth and lighting? My 90 has VHO 4x110 (2 actinic and 2 white) + a PC 65w. That's the light my corals are used to that I will be fragging. I am new to this forum but...

Send me an email and I can get all of your names and addresses. Once I figure out shipping possibilities, we can trade. I am open to just about any softies. MINCHMAN- contact me at email. I live east of Orlando. If you don't have a current trade, we can work something out.

Once I figure out shipping needs we can talk. My email is donmgates@hotmail.com. Here are a couple of pics. I am hoping for trades of any kind.

Do xenias ship okay overnight? What about volume of water? plastic bags or thermos? Any tips? I am overgrown with pulsing xenia and need to trade off some soon. Thanks.

Thanks Speg. It is a finger leather. When I cut off a branch, should it be cut smooth against the existing stalk? I am working in Chicago now but when I get home to Fla I plan to try the frag. I will contact you when I get them stabliized. What do you know about shipping xenia? Do they ship...
