I want to get one of you reef experts over to my place and check out my tank!!!

[nelson79]

I just want to know what someone with a lot of experiance would say their next step is if they had my tank. I would also love to see other peoples setups aswell just because no two tanks in this hobby ever seem to be the same.

[Dr. Zoos]

you should join the club and then host a meeting!!!! then you would have ALOT of opinions;)

[nelson79]

after the next meeting I will be a member for sure and look foward to hosting a meet in the future...but I am too anxious to wait for the next meet lol

[MomentsofSanity]

Yeah this hobby and patience do NOT get along well. I remember back when I got in it I was at a fish store every couple of days...

Don't think you will have much problem finding people willing to help you out though. One thing I would suggest is consider, if you can, adding a refugium to your design... you'll thank yourself for it.

[nelson79]

I have been thinking of that but I don't know how I could fit it to my sump

[chudly]

what area of town r u in?

By the way i am no expert.......at least at this hobby anyway.......now that I think of it I'm no expert at anything.............


:cheers2: Always willing to check out a new tank tho.

[MomentsofSanity]

My system is kind of counter to what I would recommend to anyone starting out (No sump, refugium etc...) but if you were so inclined I tend to have an open door policy on visitation! That and as many will attest to I have a tendency to give away frags of any corals that are ready to break up.

[ShipWreck]

what area of town r u in?



That would definitely be good to know. I am also always willing to see a new tank :)

[nelson79]

I live in the new subdivision on the north side of gainsborough. I'm thinking since so many are interested maybe I will setup a meet this sunday...what do you guys think? If Anyone wants to setup some kind of workshop lesson I will lend my place out no prob!!

Your definately an eager one thats for sure. i would think this Sunday would be alittle to short notice. Perhaps this weekend i could shoot by and take a look if your going to be home.
Send me an email if possible with your number.

By the way are you talking about the Summerside section of london by the new Rona?

[Fizzio]

I live close to you so could come over anytime you would like as long as my wife and kids ok it LOL

Dave

[rayjay]

Where's the pictures of your set up?
I'm in your area as I live on Aldersbrook, but all my tanks are very basic with no frills at all.
Dave's tank (Fizzio) is great and he is just off Lawson Rd.
You probably could get a different opinion from each hobbyists who sees your set up.

[nelson79]

I would post some pics but I got nothing good at the moment...My camara sucks
I can't PM you guys my # because I don't have enough posts yet...I tried power posting did not work very well.:bwink:

when I can PM you guys I will send you my info.

[viesia]

I'm probably in the same sub as you (Hyde Park Woods). Ihave seen a house at night in the sub with the telltale glow so I figured there was someone with a sw tank in the area. I'm on Bayswater so I'm pretty close and I'm home all weekend.

[pulp_fishin]

Sounds like I shouldn't of moved from that area with this many reef tank keepers!
Then again my parents wouldn't let me keep my 6"-135gallon aquarium if I still lived with them!

Cheers!

[SaltNurEye]

Thats too funny sounds like my new sub divison is full of reefaholics. I also noticed the pretty glow of a reef tank at one of the corner houses on Coronation and Tanoak and another one in behind that....I try to do a slow drive bys all the time without looking like a creeper.

I am on Kyle Crt. kinda off of Coronation.

Hope the Hydro lines in the area are equipped to handle all these reefs haha.

[MomentsofSanity]

I've been quite suprised at the number of saltwater aquarists in the London area since I got into the hobby.

Leads to great meetings for the MACL though as there is no limit to new people to talk to and experience to learn from that's for sure!

[SaltNurEye]

I have been trying to make it out to a meeting for over a year now. It really is great that there is such an active group of reefers in London.

I will try really hard to make it out to the next meeting but doubt it as I am stuck in the office every weekend.

My tank crashed after my move to this area so some frags would have been great.

Hope to see all you local reefers someday.

[viesia]

That's the house I was taling about too. The tank looks pretty big as well. If anyone wants to get together on the long weekend I am working on the house all weekend and am kiddie free. I'm on Bayswater.

[nelson79]

lol...my house is the one on Tanoak and coronation...it is really cool to see this many Reefers in my area.

I finaly have enough posts so I can pm you local reefers my number, I would love to see your set ups to.

[chudly]

You guys may want to consider pooling your money together and purchasing a GIANT whindmill for extra power in that area and run it your houses.
OOOOooo and just to let you know i have seen the DEA in that area writing down house numbers. So don't be suprised to see your door broken down in the next few weeks.

LOL:hihi:

[nelson79]

lol that would not surprise me...

I don't have to worry about that anymore as the police paid a visit many years ago when I was using my 1000w metal halide to grow tomatoes in my basement. They pried the garage door open to gain access on a later visit when they heard my air pump running in the garage and thought I was doing myself in. (hydro worker tipped the police off both times)
Now that I have tanks, they just assume it's still for tomatoes.
The unfortunate thing now is that I can't use that metal halide over any of my tanks because it throws off too much heat.

[pulp_fishin]

Thats pretty funny accually!
I would have to laugh if that happened to me!

[DSNY_FN]

Well I just added a few new critters to the 75 that I have up and running now (finally). If anyone wants to stop in let me know weekends are best for me or wekdays in the day. We just added a blue tang a green open brain a red reef starfish and on Thursday we added a new Nova T5 48" light and a lavender mushroom.

Chudly are you a member of the London fire department?

Here are some pics of the tank as it sits as of today.
