Hi,
I recently moved to O'Fallon MO and I'm looking for info on water chem. good local suppliers and anything other surprises I might need to know about. Any help would be appreciated. I joined SEASL and look forward many happy reef tales to come.

Thx,
Scott

Howdy Scott.

WELCOME TO REEFSANCTUARY!!!

I'm the treasurer of SEASL. I had to miss a couple of meetings due to tax season. Maxx and Spooda420 are also members of SEASL. I even had to miss Walt Smith's talk due to some work I had to do for someone.

I look forward to meeting you.

Reef Solutions on Highway 94 is probably the LFS closest to you.

Again, welcome to RS and ask away!!!

Scott Eiswirth · 06-04-2004, 03:44 PM

thx
I'm thinking about a nano. Any thoughts?
Scott

Spooda420 · 06-04-2004, 04:06 PM

Scott, Told ya I'd see you here.... Welcome, you'll find this board much more appealing, and the people are just plain nicer than RC.

If you have questions this is the place to post them, sometimes I think that I'm the only one with a job here. People seems to reply very quickly here... ...and its always great information.

BTW - unpack quickly, so you can get started on your tank!!!

once again WELCOME to RS and STL!!!!

Chris

Chris,

Did you use your unique identifier to qualify for the Member Referral Constest?

PS....good work bud!!!

Scott,

I started with a nano. They are a little more difficult to some degreee as the water parameters change so much more quickly in a small water volume. In other words, top off for evaporation more often so the Specific Gravity swings stay small. However, if you can master a nano, when you set up a big tank.....you're golden.

Here's a good thread on nano's

Spooda420 · 06-04-2004, 04:23 PM

Curt,

I can claim Scott as my own find, however, I would like to choose to stay out of the contest. Even though LuckyInc has Awesome and I mean Awesome work, my mean old wife would never let me decorate the house or even certain rooms on my own.... I would hang up pictures of race cars and girls just like I was 13 again!

...So I'll leave the artwork for someone who can actually use it. Now if someone would like to trade frags for him that I can DO! That is definatly 'do-able'.

Scott Eiswirth · 06-04-2004, 04:25 PM

Chris,
I think I put you in correctly for the referal contest.
Scott

Spooda420 · 06-04-2004, 04:28 PM

Thanks, Scott.... Ok Ive talked/typed to you for the last hmmm what 2 hrs or so? right? ok so are you ready to put up your tank yet???? whats the hold up? get the led out.

Scott Eiswirth · 06-04-2004, 04:31 PM

I'm just a little slooowww....
later

Curtswearing · 06-04-2004, 04:50 PM

LOL....that's a hint if I ever read one. However, neither me nor Maxx can win contests so it's all yours. I've met J and one word I would never use to label her would be "mean". You're a lucky man Chris.

I have helped stock a couple peoples tanks recently so a number of corals are in short supply. However, I'm babysitting Maxx's anemone, clam and corals. Do you want any of those LOL?

Actually, we should be in good shape. My hairy mushrooms are running everwhere, my orange zoanthids and GSP's are literally climbing the walls. My brown frogspawn is ready to be broken but my pink tipped frogspawn lost a head recently for reasons I don't know. I want it to regain it's strength before fragging it again.

Spooda420 · 06-04-2004, 05:34 PM

Curt,
I'm sure Nick won't mind if I frag his clam

. I am ready to put some fish in there now the resetting up the tank took a while and now all the LR is well cycled, so maybe in a few months I will start adding some corals...
