I was thinking of using two 50 gallon Rubbermaid stock tanks and putting them next to each other. I wanted to use one 250 watt metal halide in a Lumen Bright Large reflector for my lighting. In order to cover the two tanks I planned to use a the Light Rail 3.5 6RPM motor. How long should my light cycle be? The light can travel the 6 foot distance in 6-7 minutes. ]]> Propagation, Packing, and Shipping Discussion Rickyrooz http://www.reef2reef.com/forums/propagation-packing-shipping-discussion/47758-light-mover-question.html http://www.reef2reef.com/forums/propagation-packing-shipping-discussion/47708-fyi-office-depot-has-50-off.html Wed, 08 Sep 2010 16:25:41 GMT today only.

If I want to drip acclimate the 6 acros I got, do I have to keep them in separate containers, or can I combine the water from all 6 packages into one bowl? ]]> Propagation, Packing, and Shipping Discussion akabryanhall http://www.reef2reef.com/forums/propagation-packing-shipping-discussion/47531-acclimating-sps.html http://www.reef2reef.com/forums/propagation-packing-shipping-discussion/47507-whats-my-frag-tank.html Thu, 02 Sep 2010 22:16:38 GMT Ok..I'll start posting picture of the frags in my frag tank.:wink:

Do I need an importer's license for this. The retail store told me that I didn't and that I wouldn't be responsible for any duties/tariffs. The package would only need to clear customs.

If the fish were sent by FedEx, would they need to clear customs from my end? What else is involved with receiving the fish? I don't want to pay for some fish and just have customs take it away. The fish are all legal and not protected by CITES.

First is for the Florida farmers - UPS ground is usually discussed as a standard $15 overnight within Florida. I'm expecting a box of rics from the keys (I'm in Tampa) and UPS says ground is 2 days. Is that due to location of the shipper or them covering themselves in case it takes 2 days. Overnight is $65. I want them here overnight to prevent any stress from riding in a hot truck or sitting in a warehouse, but would love to save $50. Who is your favorite shipper and method?

How do you find out the routes that the package goes? I've read that shipping out of state the packages often go to a hub for processing in route. Seems necessary in terms of planning for temperature control inside the box.

Last (for now...) supplies. I read Uline is a popular source. Are there any more economical sources that you like for styro boxes, urine cups, heat or cold packs and any other items?

Thanks in advance for your time and advice. ]]> Propagation, Packing, and Shipping Discussion tampasnooker http://www.reef2reef.com/forums/propagation-packing-shipping-discussion/46939-starting-ship-few-questions.html http://www.reef2reef.com/forums/propagation-packing-shipping-discussion/46696-reef-aquarium-fact-5-corals-propagated.html Thu, 12 Aug 2010 19:24:51 GMT We are going to continue discussing the reef aquarium facts submitted by our members in the My Miami chalice giveaway thread.

Fact #5

Corals propagated without friction are known to heal faster and better.


Truth or False? What else might we need to learn on this subject?
