So we need to know if you got some nice goodies for your birthday, Doc!!! ... and of course, pics of said goodies.

DrHank · 02-04-2008, 10:27 PM

No, I pretty much deferred on my birthday goodies right now. Got a nice piect of 1x6 clear pine for the new top to my 65 but I forgot to take a picture of the board. It was nice and clear though.

Also got 2 nice pieces of eggcrate, a 250W MH bulb, and 100lbs of Fiji Pink sand (I have to pick it up on Wednesday). Oh and I almost forgot a replacement Lawnmower blenny for the one that went carpet surfing last week.

I am thinking about a Desjardin Tang, Blue Spot Pufferfish, and Picaso Trigger for the 155 but that will be later.

The equuipment on the 55 went on my 47. We sold the tank, the lights and the stand (the 55). We have a 75 that we may use for the sump or he'll get another 55. It just depends on which one fits under the 180 better. We'll definately go slow. He'll take his time to build the sump. He's still deciding how he's going to get it drilled, or if he's going to get it drilled.

We're probably going to Progressive Marine this weekend or next. We'll let you know how it is. They have a website, but it's not completely up yet.

I'm not sure what times Progressive is open. Call before you go. During the week he doesn't open till 2PM.

What the heck is FPRS Victor ?

Scott: I couldn't agree more. The attitude of the club is very similar.

Heinz: It's Florida Panhandle Reefkeeping Society. It's just a local reefing club.

They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
