"Timers to control Kalk mixer and top off unit "

What type of timers are these and where could I find them . Everything looks very nice BTW .
Thanks, Dizzy

Here are the babies at 9 1/2 weeks old. Still a long way from going to the big tank:

Here's what happened to my AGA tank trim:

All-Glass assured me that it doesn't affect the ingegrity of the tank and has agreed to give me a 5 year Oceanic type warranty and Mermaid will glue a piece onto the trim for peace of mind.

Dizzyswimmer---thanks for the compliment, the timers are from Harbor Freight Tools www.harborfreight.com

OMG I just bought a new tank today. I'm upset I didnt' call up mermaid aquarium. You have like a micro museum grade aquarium rite in your house. props

Hmmm a whole tank full of clowns with anemones. I'm sure it will be a sight. They will populate exponentially like bunnies.

Very Very Nice! Now I need to start saving up. I have always heard about there setups now I can actually see one online. I need to start saving my pennies. I saw another one they did in person and I was shocked how nice and organized it was.

mobert · 11/24/2005, 08:22 PM

They got a moved up to a 20 gallon and got a RBTA to sleep in yesterday. There is no doubt that these captive bred fish can quickly learn to host in a RBTA. Here they are at 12 1/2 weeks.

Reminds me of college students and telephone booths.

It's really hard to part with any of them. I'll have to see how it goes.

He only takes care of newborns.

(actually, I need a new one. Ole Bob is a bit worn out)

Great picture. I think you should enter it in a contest. It's a winner. You might even want to put a copyright symbol on it.

ahbroody · 11/26/2005, 02:07 AM

Thanks!! I get lucky sometimes

I'm pretty easy about sharing my pictures but it is nice to get credit when someone uses them.

Sponge Bob was in April Fools edition of: http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-04fools/index.php

Thanks for the offer, but I'm out of the massive clownfish raising business. The only reason I'm doing these guys is because I wanted a bunch for my new tank. PM me. I'm curious to hear how your babies are doing.

An update on my tank:
The All-Glass top kept developing new cracks and though Mermaid patched it a few times, I decided I wanted a new tank. So after talking with All-Glass and Max at Mermaid, EVERYTHING was taken care of under warranty. Normally, if I had bought the tank from somewhere else, I probably would have had to bring the tank in for exchange. Mermaid's warranty included coming to my home, taking down my tank and putting it back together. It was a major undertaking as the whole tank including equipment had to be dismantled to get the tank out. So I just want to thank Max and All-Glass and say that I am very happy with their service and am glad I bought from them.

The baby Percs are doing great. Here's a recent shot. There are 26 youngsters in the tank:

Awesome tank and pic's thanks for sharing.

mobert · 05/24/2006, 09:22 PM
