6 tanks arrived

Best of luck dude. Keep us posted with the progress!

 

This tank is the only one out of the 6 that isn't drilled. I try to locate a U tube... I have a very narrow glass one but I compared the PVC tube to the glass and the PVC had more water flow.

Thanks for the Good luck wishes guys... I'll try to get another one up and running tomorrow. I went to the hardware this evening and had a field day lol

 

HOLEY CRAP that is sweet!!!!! Hope you have really good success! how much did all that cost? (if you don't mind me asking and if this hasn't already been asked.)

 

Thanks... It cost about $1590.00USD and considering that the guy will be supplying me with salt whenever I need for free and he threw in a couple of fish to get me started free as well, I think I got a pretty good bargain. I don't know how much and what kind of fish he'll be giving me but I can assume clowns, cardinals, tangs and dwarf angels (a few of each). These are the type of fish he usually imports.

 

That is a very good price!! and you can't go wrong with free livestock and salt! Definitely update when you can, can't wait to see what you end up with. So are you going to be breeding them for the fish store you work at or for local enthusiasts?

 

For both really... Personally, I don't have a name is the industry as yet. I know however that the LFS is a sure customer because we never, and I mean never have saltwater livestock. We would probably get a shipment twice a year and each time, within a couple of weeks, all the fish have either gone or perished.

 

Oh wow that sux! how do you get your livestock? online prices over there decent?

 

GOOD LUCK!! hope to be one of your future costumers!! great idea i would love to have a business like that!

 

Our livestock is firstly gathered in the Philippines, shipped to Miami where they are immediately re-packaged and sent to Trinidad... In all, the fishes probably spen about 16 hours in the air. So on top of half of them dying in transit, the living ones are so stressed that their chances of survival are pretty slim... Thankfully though, 90% of the fish that do arrive alive, actually stay alive... It sometimes amazes me to say the least... The prices here on livestock and dry goods are at least 100% above their value in the US/Canada/Europe. With few exceptions, for instance damsels and clowns, because we order them in such large numbers, we get discounts so we could make them available at around the same price as you guys at $12-15

We don't have any online retailers here just yet mainly because everywhere from the capital city is about 30mins maximum drive time. My goal though is to operate my business both online and in store/home as the case may be.

 

good luck man if u need any help with the setup or ideas for the filtration just message me saw your pm about the pods kinda late as my pc was down for while. I got a nice mag drive 36 that im trying to sell as well, along with one of those barrel pond filters that im sure you can use for some bio filtration.
