if anyone has any idea on advertising let me know thanks

Boonjob · « **Reply #2 on:** November 02, 2011, 16:54:44 »

I say keep it local, but not sure what you want... you could always make up a small flyer and see if you can post it at the local fish stores/sponsors.

Todd W. · « **Reply #3 on:** November 02, 2011, 17:26:37 »

If you make up a flyer, I can put it on a BB at work...

Sorry buk, I didn't mean you or anyone else in the club or this local tri state area, I meant I wouldn't go all out and do the fragswapper and such... sorry, that's what I meant by local as in just local advertising.

buk · « **Reply #7 on:** November 03, 2011, 04:56:19 »

no reason to be sorry at all. i just wanted to make sure i wasn't going to offend anyone if i showed.

We're thinking about coming over for this one. We don't have a ton to sell right now, but it's hard to pass up a swap!

Quick question: are people just bring corals in cups/bags or will you all be setting up frag tanks?

itsalifestyle · « **Reply #26 on:** November 23, 2011, 13:54:56 »

Either way is fine

buk · « **Reply #27 on:** November 23, 2011, 14:01:27 »

i know i'm just bringing containers so if anyone would like to see what i'm bringing in a tank please check out fragswapper for pics. everything is for trade so shoot me some offers. otherwise the price posted works if you don't have anything to swap

Neogenesis · « **Reply #28 on:** November 23, 2011, 15:35:02 »

I just put my stuff up......it's not much.....but I'm still getting things back in order after my frag tank crashed a few months back.

Ok I got my stuff posted on frag swapper. If you see something you want and can not make it to the swap let me know I can make arrangements to meet you at my house. Just request them on frag swapper and send me a pm. All of my frags mother colony's can be seen in this thread of my tank build

I just looked at mine again last night.....I'm sure I have enough to get you started if WuSue doesn't get you some.

Just let me know,

buk · « **Reply #39 on:** November 29, 2011, 08:46:35 »

i wouldn't mind having a few clumps from different tanks really. diversity is a great thing as long as there aren't any pests or anything in your tank. any is greatly appreciated.

Neogenesis · « **Reply #40 on:** November 29, 2011, 08:56:33 »

It's got Stomatella snails and eggs, as well as the occasional stray Hawaiian Strombus snail. Other than that there are no pests. I'll be sure to bring some along.

Wasn't asking for a "handout" but thanks anyway. Have a good one

Neogenesis · « **Reply #57 on:** November 30, 2011, 14:52:21 »

Didn't mean it in that way. If I had a huge supply, I would gladly pass them out. But with the probs I've got in the tank right now, I need every snail I can get. I'm just not taking the time to dig through the chaeto I harvest for others to pick them out. Hell....at the rate I'm growing chaeto I definitely have something going on, I just haven't figured it out yet. In a matter of 2 weeks, I've doubled my amount of chaeto again, to the point it won't even spin in the fuge. In the entire life of the tank I've never grown it this fast.

Didn't mean to come off in a bad way.

I've lowered prices on some of the stuff I've put up and would like to move. Large Green Welso now $50....that's easily a $80 or more piece in a store. I would really like to see this in someone else's tank soon!!!

There's some good stuff up there on fragswapper! I look forward to seeing everyone at the swap!

Buk -- what are you looking for? We have some equipment laying around that we want to sell but just haven't had time to inventory what we have and list it anywhere...

Probably won't get around to it just like every other time!

We may find the motivation though...

I'm surprised you need any equipment with the way you clean up at those raffles

buk · « **Reply #66 on:** December 02, 2011, 10:44:24 »

Neogenesis · « **Reply #67 on:** December 02, 2011, 10:53:29 »

I'm only bringing what's been requested through swapper. I don't have enough equipment to bring all my frags with me.

buk · « **Reply #68 on:** December 02, 2011, 11:02:35 »

i'm sure i'll have a few surprises in tow. not sure exactly what yet though. and it's nothing for me to load up some extra stuff laying around. so if you're looking for anything ask me i may have it out in the car. corals i'll have with me in the cooler.

Neogenesis · « **Reply #69 on:** December 02, 2011, 11:08:17 »

I'm needing some bulkheads if you have any of those. I found a leaky one on my overflow which won't reseal.

Hmmm I may have some extras in one of the misc. plumbing bins in the closet... what size? Schedule 40 or 80?

Also, if it's just the gasket that's bad, Savko here in Columbus sells just the gaskets. They ship all over, but maybe it's more expensive to pay even the cheap shipping from cbus to findlay than it to get a whole new bulkhead locally...

Neogenesis · « **Reply #71 on:** December 02, 2011, 11:18:52 »

I'm not sure what the prob was, the seal looks good, but it leaks like hell right down the threads, so I was just going to replace the entire thing. I'm guessing it would be Sch40 as it goes into a overflow box to accept 1" PVC.

buk · « **Reply #72 on:** December 02, 2011, 11:21:49 »

i had my overflow doing the same thing a few weeks ago. i dropped my water level, pulled the overflow off, put a small bead of silicone all the way around the gaskets (both sides of the gaskets), then reassembled it. it took a pretty good leak and sealed it up great.

Neogenesis · « **Reply #73 on:** December 02, 2011, 11:26:24 »

would love to do that, didn't think of it at the time, but to do that I had to cut the PVC, which means I can't reuse it. It's to short to patch up. The ones that came with it also cush because the slip side only accept thin walled metric crap. Makes it tough to make custom caps and such to keep them quiet. They needed switched out anyway. They are slip - slip, next set will be slip - thread.

rosebud161616 · « **Reply #74 on:** December 02, 2011, 11:36:33 »

I'll see if I have any 1" schedule 40 slip-thread when I get home. Sounds like something I may just have...

Neogenesis · « **Reply #75 on:** December 02, 2011, 11:45:38 »

If you have one that would be awesome!!!! I'm running on a single overflow box right now, and I can't quietly get enough flow through it. Quietly being the key word there....lol
