Free Stuff !?!

Well today I am going to pick up my medical/isolation tank; it is being donated to me. I am happy I get a free tank; I mean some thing free is always good. I just hope this person dose not live on a hill as the roads are a wee bit icy and people are driving like baboons.(Well to be honest that is an insult to baboons.) I have been reading a lot of the DIY stuff on DFW Marine Aquarium Society’s message board, some of there ideas are really cool. Then again there are a few I do not think I will be trying on my own. It looks like I am getting in to my old habit of 5AM publication again. I am also thinking about ordering a Chauvet SF-4005 and using it as a wave maker timer, I have been reading that a lot of people have had success with it and it is not badly priced. Then again for about the same price I can get a Natural Wave Timer and unlike the Chauvet it goes as low as 20 seconds and up to two min. The Chauvet goes from two min to fifteen min switching. I guess I am going to have to The Fish Place and ask some questions.  

Just as a note to any one who has been reading this for info on starting up there own tank do not get in a hurry, I am taking it slow due to the fact this is a considerable investment and I want to do as much research as possible, that away I do not lose money. I highly suggest you take your time, if you do not you could miss out on a deal or even worse you could set up your tank too fast and lose all your fishes, and when you flush them down the old porcine pony you will be flushing your hard earned cash with it. I do not know about you but personally I hate to lose money.

I am thinking about making my own sump and refugium, with the help of Marc’s site (you can find him on DFWMAS forum) and his site is Melev's Reef Site which is a nice place and there is tons of info there.

Well I am off to bed, have a good day.
