    Big day today!

    Getting my cast put on my hand:angry:
    The new cone skimmers will be here beween 9 and noon.;D
    Need to ship out all the cones that are ordered.

    This weekend was great!
    We scored a 4 tier fish tank from a big fish store chain, it has a huge sump and pump. $100.00 ===WOW!
    Our plan is to have this setup with all nano corals and rock..It will be in the "Nano World" section of the store! LOL

    We also scored a 120G tank with a NICE stand and canopy with a wet/dry...FREE!

    We also installed the blinds on the front of the store. Put the teenage boys to work on this project! I supervised:) The broken hand has its advantages!

    I second that!

    Holy moly - what are your scavenging secrets? LoL...
    I am delighted for you though - a start up is expensive enough so it is awesome that you are able to score and recycle used equipment. It will be a breath of life back into those systems you got.

    Sorry to hear about the Hand.. Nice score on the free and cheap tanks.. Cant wait to see more progress.. This makes me want to take a quick trip up to Denver. I haven't been since I moved away from there in '94

    woohoo!!! I can see it now - 3reef group field trip! We can rent a big old bus, have it shrink-wrapped in that advertising film stuff - with the 3reef logo on it - yeehaw!

    Can you imagine the looks on people's faces when we all barge in there?

    ;D

    I think we would have to get an onboard life support system for all the livestock we would end up with..

    Did the nano display fit through the door?

    That's going to be by far the biggest nano tank I've ever seen. You should put a sign on it that says "World's Largest Nano Reef Tank". Just think of the tourist traffic. LMAO
