Nice meeting you guys also. I hear ya about Tim's place, but you can't beat the prices. I was there for 3 hours waiting for Jay to finish buying the house. :D It was worth the wait.

ericmcj31
02-02-2008, 10:58 PM
yeah-what's up with that Jay?? lol

Thanks guys. Yea it was really busy today and I am sorry the wait was so long for some you guys. I just don't like to rush people, I want them to be able to browse and ask question etc. So I tend to spend more time with each customer rather than the hurry up and buy method. :D

That's ok, Tim-I enjoy just looking-hate to see your electric bill, though--lol

Maddog
02-02-2008, 11:03 PM
Believe me I didn't mind the wait. I will be back again.

Isn't too bad about $300 a month. Considering all the pumps, heaters, halides..... It could be worse. I figure when I go commercial it will cost at least $600 a month. :yuk:

Maddog

I got a ricordia, Torch frag, and a peach looking zoa frag. Everything is looking good so far.

ericmcj31
02-02-2008, 11:13 PM
Tim-any tips on getting my purple lobster to come out?? He went back and hid-haven't seen him since-lol

The 210 AGA with stand and canopy is $1400. I got a guy looking at it tomorrow, but it is first come first serve on that item. :)

ericmcj31
02-02-2008, 11:14 PM
sweet! I could even help set it up! We could have those cold beers we've been talking about!

ericmcj31
02-02-2008, 11:14 PM
Which one was it? the empty one close to the fireplace?

You'll have to send me some pics of your tank. The only thing I lost in that purchase was a couple snails, but out of a order that big, I am cool with that.

ericmcj31
02-02-2008, 11:18 PM
yeah, for 1400, I would've bought it--just one problem, though--I'd have to live in it-my wife would throw the tank out-and me with it! No more tanks at THIS house-(have to wait until next one)

I was kinda thinking the same thing. You going to the meeting?

Maddog
02-02-2008, 11:20 PM
couple of snails isn't bad at all. I'll send pics soon, but like I said before it doesn't compare to some i have seen on ARC.

That is why I usually throw in a few extra blue legs, vibex, etc. Just because you know one or two isn't going to make it.

Tim, no worries, I was not concerned at all. Thank you, you hooked me up big time.

jayroc24

Oh yea, it will be my first one.

ericmcj31
02-02-2008, 11:24 PM
Cool--it'll be a good first one from what I understand from others--apparently this meeting will spoil you for the others, though--

I wouldnt worry about that we all started with nothing. You seen mine, all white, that is part of the fun just building up over time.

That is what I hear from everyone. Well we will just have to hold them/us to a higher standard on future meetings.:yes:

ericmcj31
02-02-2008, 11:30 PM
agreed---This will only be my 3rd meeting--it's neat b/c I had been wanting to meet locals for a while that enjoyed their fish and reefs like I do, and until ARC, I didn't know ANYONE! Arc is pretty cool-

Sorry I missed you guys. I went to Tims this evening and spent a penny after you guys had left.

Tim - Thanks and everything is looking great and acclimated. The ORA purple Tri color is sweet and the Blasto is incredible....My wife saw the color channel brain and her jaw hit the ground - beautiful neon yellow!!

Oh, and the cleaner shrimp looks great - just make sure and hold me a couple of peppermint shrimps on the next order if you can - I got a couple of aptaisa to get rid of.

Thanks again Tim!!
