I'd probably be as anxious as you are, Michael, if I was ready for the light like you are. I'm still weeks or a month away from that point so I'm able to be patient because I know they would probably just sit in a corner for a couple weeks.

Patience my friend.

When did you guys place your orders for the Solaris. I place mine somewhere around Dec 19th. Still waiting.

tbittner · 02-27-2008, 11:52 PM

I ordered mine a week ago. Apparently PFO organizes a shipment and ships a bunch all at once. I got on the list for this next shipment because they said they still had 7 of the 72" lights available.

Pretty fish.

michael_cb_125 · 02-28-2008, 02:16 PM

Arent they more of a temperate species?

tbittner · 02-28-2008, 04:27 PM

For $3,500, it better do a heck of a lot more then "be pretty".

Here is a photo posted from one of the other forums

For $3k you are buying a fish collected from an uninhabitated island that took a 3-4 day boat trip and was held up by USFW for a few days on the Mexican border

Apparently only 30 were brought into the states. Who knows how many years until they are brought in legally again.

I know Sanjay Joshi post a you tube clip somewhere of the one he got.
To rich for my blood though.

Well, last night I made the colmn that will either go on the left side of the tank or the middle. I am not sure where I want it yet. All I can say is that it is very cool looking. I used zip ties to secure everything to a PVC rack. I am going to use epoxy to strengthen the tower. Are there any expoies that are marine/reef safe that you can buy at home depot? I dont really want to place any more online orders right now.
Thanks~Michael

I don't know what kind of epoxy you should use. Hopefully someone does know.
