I JUST UPGRADED!!!!!!

[jojo22]

So I went to petsmart last night and found out that they where haveing a sale. If you buy a stand you get the tank that goes on it FREE. So I sucked up to the wife a little and went back and got a brand new 72 Gal. bowfront with the stand for $159 after tax. :):):) I promise to have pics soon (as in the palm is chargeing as I type because I already tried and it was dead).
I will be posting step by step set up from start to stocked.

WWWHHAAATT!!!!

[jojo22]

Yes you read that right $159 out the door. I now LOVE the petco in canton.

I am just finishing painting the back, it is now a gloss black. Went out today and got a Rio+ 2500 for a retun pump, an overflow, and a catalina aquarium 1800 Power head. the total gph of water movement after head loss will be 1329 GPH.

In the next few weeks I will be getting the heater, sand, and the supplys to make my own rock. It will probably be Jan./Feb. before I get the lighting and June or July before I start adding corals to my new reef.

At that time I will be interested in all frags available. I think it would be really cool to watch the reef grow and mature from my own hand made rocks to little frags to full grown corals.

lucky dog !! great find jojo, wonder if they are ALL having a sale ?! i could use a few more tanks ... J/K, i have to many now but i would take another if the price was right, and your price was right !!

[graphixx]

yeah they had no such sale at the petsmart here. that bums me out man

[jojo22]

Try calling PETCO. That is where I got the tank. I don't know if they are nationwide but they are really big here. Or try petco.com and see if they have the same deal

[graphixx]

aaahhhhh PETCO not PETSMART bummer, that is a heck of a deal!!!!

[jojo22]

Yeah pics will be here as soon as I get the tank in position. ( I have to rearange my zoo). But it will be tonight, and if I do sayso myself the black paint job on the back ROCKS!!

Geez for that price all I could get up here is a really good used Sea Clone:rolleyes:

[seahorsedreams]

How come my tanks are never that cheap! Great buy!

[jojo22]

I think that maby it's just reimburstment for all the crapy luck I get. Or the powers that be decided Bobby's turn was up.

[lReef lKeeper]

lmao, now what did i do to deserve that, buddy ?? i hope my time is not up cuz i got some Halides coming soon ... unless he ups the price on me. but i dont think Shad would do that to me !!

[seahorsedreams]

Well I just paid 700 bucks on a little ole 40 gallon mantis tank. I'm thinking my turn is up!

[lReef lKeeper]

no, your time HAS COME !! my deals are getting fewer and farther between than they use to be. don't get me wrong, i still get some doozies, but i cant seem to find a lot of them like i use to. so MY turn is up.

[jojo22]

Not trying to be mean, you just always get really really good deals, so I figured I would note that in my thread.

Everyone I WILL be starting a new thread as soon as I get this thing plumbed

It will be in DIY called "Jojo's 72 bowfront project log" comeing to a forum near you on sept 30th... LOL

[lReef lKeeper]

[jojo22]

Nice steal!!!! Now I will call the cops and report 2 250 watt MH retro kits missing and they will be "returned" to me for FREE!!!!!! HAHA!!! LOL

[lReef lKeeper]
