Chaeto

[hawkinsrgk]

It's 150 gallon. I really like the size, but I have thought about if I should have gotten the 300. Once I got the external skimmer it freed up a lot of space

I haven't used the 100 yet, think I'll try and swap it for a 150 at tractor supply. I bought it a few months ago, but has not been wet as of yet......is taking me forever to get moving, the plumbing and worrying about leaks has me intimidated.
My in sump skimmer has a 18*18 footprint.

 

[hawkinsrgk]

That's a really large footprint. What's the skimmer rated at? I think my skimmer is 14 inches in diameter and it probably holds 10 gallons of water. Your skimmer would be quite a bit larger than that

When I did my setup it took almost 6 months. I was only working on it a couple of hours a day. If you break down what you need to do and just tackle one piece at a time it's not too bad. You are more than welcome to stop by and check it out

It's a super reef octopus extreme xs 300. Not made anymore. I've had it for about 5 years, but it's still new. Has three pumps. Think it was rated for 700 gallons.
Would like to come by at some point to check it out.
Thanks.

Hey Randy, I realize I may have missed the mark by a few weeks but I would love to come get a little bit of Cheato from you this weekend (or whenever you have it next).

 

[hawkinsrgk]

Sure. Whenever you want to get some of it. I gave 6 gallons to Michael at Reef Life about 3 weeks ago and in that time it is almost back to the original size.

Randy I have just set up a sump for my tank. Do you still have a Cheato available? Thanks Gary.

 

[hawkinsrgk]

Yea I have more now than when I posted the pic. How much do you need? Where in Hoover do you live? I am next to Simmons middle school/ Gwin elementary

 

[GaryO]

Great, I am looking to fill a 10"I live in Riverchase and I would love to come by after work today. When will you be available? text me 205 401 8543 with your address and a good time to meet thanks. Gary

 

[GaryO]

[hawkinsrgk]

[jfb2]

You making a list for chaeto folks on your next thinning.

 

[hawkinsrgk]

Not really. I think I have enough to supply Alabama.

 

[jfb2]

If you have some.....that would be great.
Would like to check out your sump as well. I've got a 150 gallon.

 

[hawkinsrgk]

Absolutely. I have to take my youngest kid to Aldridge Gardens this morning, but other than that I will be free pretty much all weekend.

Will PM you my number. Shoot me a text with the day/time you were thinking.
