[gfk]

So some of you may remember my post from a few months back about moving to WA from California.... Well I've had a few months to settle in and here I am.


anyone on here interested in talkin reefs sometime or just grabbin a beer and watchin a game or something?

I'm 25, into basically any sports and of course reefing. Just tryin to make some new friends around my age in the area, and as a former reefer I know there are good people in the hobby.

any takers? ( i feel like i'm asking for a blind date with a guy but i swear i'm not!!!)

Hey i just moved here to, but im from CO. Trying to find good LFS. I haven't set up my tank yet. I have to start over. I have a 55 gal but am thinking of maybe going to a 90 or 120 and using my 55 as a sump. I live in Tumwater any recomandations on LFS.

 

[jnarowe]

Barrier Reef for sure. Also, there's a guy up in PA that is downsizing from a 120. He has live rock, clams, etc. so PM me if you want contact info.

 

[Eickhorn]

Over 30 as old?

DANG I MUST BE FROM THE CAVEMAN DAYS

 

[lion-clown]

Is he selling his 120 if so how much

 

[skinz78]

Yes, I am the guy with the 120g. Some of you may know the tank. It belonged to Brian who worked at the shark reef. It was the tank that sat behind the counter at the clear creek nursery location. If you don't know the tank here is a little about it. It is 5' long 24" wide, and 20" deep I think, don't quote me. Brian built it, the tank is made from 3/4" thick acryllic and the back is blue. It is a closed loop system and has a 20g sump with fuge that is included. I have built a stand and hood for it that has tongue and groove cedar. I am going to include 1 400w mh light with the tank. I also have some LR and live sand that would go with it.

I have just started thinking about selling it and have alot of clams and coral to sell before I get rid of the tank. I haven't thought about a price yet. Pm me if you are interested.

gfk - Might be having the guys over on Sat night for some beers(While the wife is away, the guys will play). There may be a few of those old guys that you speak of, but they are OK. I am up in Renton, i am guessing about 30 minutes or so away. I will let you know if it happens.

 

[BCT182]

Im right over in Puyallup, about 10 mins away. Im only 25 but with the abuse I've put on my body I look and feel 40. Anytime you want a beer you could swing by.
