lgreen Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 I emailed ADA group today to see if I could get an update on when the tanks would be back in stock and their response stated the tanks would be back in stock in 6 weeks. WTF...they told me it would be 6 weeks over 2 weeks ago...now I have to wait an additional 2 weeks? Link to comment
Pickle010 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I went through this with something else I ordered. Item was high cost and back ordered. I was told 3 weeks which turned into 3 months then finally 6 months before I got it. Don't be afrraid to stay on them about the order and expet perks (at least I would) if they drag it out too long.

Kimberly63 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I'm sorry! I hope it doesn't take forever to get your tank - you're probably itching to get it started! lol What are your plans for it? SPS? Any luck with a stand? I went to the hardware store today and got samples of moulding trim to see what I'd like on my stand. I want the stupid thing finished! Link to comment

Well, with the clutch thing it's not like I can afford to set up the tank at this second anyways, so whatever. SPS, LPS, little of everything, but probably no fish for a good while. No stand either. I think I will just build one, but I may not have time to tackle that for a week or two. Link to comment
TheKingInYellow Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hammertone reflector on that light? How do they compare to the standard sort of reflectors? Not that it's going to matter much with 250w over 18g of tank Link to comment

Do you have another tank set up or are you starting from scratch? Let me know how your stand turns out if you do build one! It feels great doing something custom for yourself Link to comment

It feels great doing something custom for yourself It will be from scratch. I haven't had a tank set up in almost a year! Crazy huh? Will do. I'm keeping an eye on how your stand turns out and may steal a few ideas from you. Link to comment

xbwolfx Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 That's nice, but a little spendy! I'll probably go w/ the new 150w Aqua Medic Spacelight EX w/ a 20k Radium bulb unless I can find a REALLY good deal on that nova II. i have a nova II. Link to comment
lgreen Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 i have a nova II. as do i now Link to comment
lgreen Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 about half way done w/building it, then got to stain/lacquer it It should look like this when it is done, although I'll either keep it the natural poplar color or black lacquer it. Link to comment

mew Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 you should paint the stand same color as the nova. Link to comment

lgreen Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 I just put a deposit down on a new townhome closer to where I work, so it sounds like I will most likely be moving in the next 15-20 days. Guess that will delay setup a little more, haha. Link to comment
