Sorry to be so absent from this thread. Work, family and way too many hobbies have kept me away. But it is now time to contribute.
My 30gal Bio-Cube has been up and running for almost 2 years now. I keep the temp at a constant 61 degrees. Everything was running real smooth up untill about 5 mnths ago when my filter/pump stopped running and I didn't notice it for two days. Normally a filter/pump stopping would not harm the tank to much if you had other sources of circulation and filteration (which I do have). Unfortunatley the pump was driving my chiller......Can you say crash!!!! Well close.....Of course I lost my orange cup corals, red gorgonian, all my urchins, and an assortment of Strawberries and other odd critters. I cleaned out the tank of any dead creatures and fixed up the pump and hoped for the best. Currently, about 60% of the critters survived!!! Totally amazing!!! Water temp was at 82 degrees for two days!! Both of my Catalina goby's made it, most of the Cowery shells, starfish, snails, crabs, worms and a small amount of Berries also survived.
Here are a couple pictures of my most recent additions.

thats pretty much the list for coldwater setups that I know of

oops, sorry, I pm'ed him before I read that message, oh well.

Kingwintergreen has one too, I need to pm him, since he was on the original deal, too.

eh, thats okay...he'd just use his mod powers and figure it out

oh yeah...how could i forget about KWG?

Okay, he's in too. Now we just need Jeremai to reply and we're good!

*starts playing Jeopardy music*

Well, I guess he doesn't want any then! (hint hint, POST SOMETHING JEREMAI)



And also, we must not mention what we will be getting, lest anyone attempt to steal our fortune! (aka, suspense!) muahaha!

oh wellz...his loss MORE FOR US!!!

Geez, you guys are lame, stuck at your computers on a Thursday night! I was at a black tie thing, my apologies.

I'm in. jamie, did you ask MrAnderson?

bout time...

computer in jeans >>>> black tie

If you say so.

Hmm, I wonder if I could get a larger chiller, maybe set up a prop system...

oh the possibilities!!

I like getting dressed up, but I have to agree jeans are normally better than black tie.

Hey Jeremai if you hire me I could be your date to these events

Jamie, I hope your contact really does pull through Daniel's tank is looking kinda empty.

Woo hoo!


+1!

Yes....Jamie's contact will pull through big time, you guys are in for a treat!!! Just get your tanks ready for lot's of treats!!!

I was just tellin Jamie I had a 40b sitting empty...and I'm pretty certain the chiller can handle it given the bathtub test...




WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JAMIES CONTACT RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha, I'm as excited as you guys are! I was thinking of Mr. Anderson, didn't he want to keep his tank strictly east coast? Or am I making that up?
