JoelRHale Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Always clean your dry rock kids QFT. I've had the same dry rock since 2002 and I still clean it like I don't know what's been in it. Link to comment
Jacob042426 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I don't like dry rock. It's too dead. Link to comment
siwelk Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Do you think your tank will be filled by reefstock? Not ready to put stuff in but at least full of water? Doubtful. I may very well have a temporary frag tank setup though. I need to make some final orders/purchases after Reefstock. I'd hate to buy an MP10w only to win one later this week. Link to comment

JoelRHale Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I'm just picturing it all covered in coralline. That is one hot overflow. Link to comment
siwelk Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Slick! Looks great. I'm just picturing it all covered in coralline. That is one hot overflow. Thanks guys. AFAIK, this is the only one in the USA. The alignment couldn't have come out more perfect. I was afraid I might have some fitment issues but nope. The front grill removes for easy cleaning. I'll just need to keep the backup inlets free from algae buildup. Link to comment

JoelRHale Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 What kind of camera do you have again? I was at Sam's and they have a Canon Rebel T3 2 with the kit lens, 75-300mm zoom lens, and gear bag for $600 and I thought that was what you had before I started researching. Link to comment

I was at Sam's and they have a Canon Rebel T3 2 with the kit lens, 75-300mm zoom lens, and gear bag for $600 and I thought that was what you had before I started researching. It's a Rebel XTi w/ the kit lens. I paid ~ $280 for it on CL. That seems like a pretty good deal, considering the extra lens and bag. I'd probably pay double for something like that if I were in the market. I don't know much about dSLRs but I'm pretty happy with the XTi so far. woot more brs goodies! I got my test cards also! lol Nice. Did they ship those out special order? Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Thanks for the info. I'm not really thinking about buying one. I'm squirreling info away like I am for tank drilling. Tank progress today? Link to comment
