I was there on the 1st and I have to say that they were pretty far from the "Grand Opening". Everything was very with lots of great ideas but no livestock.

should we even go on the 29th? what a let down

I was really hoping this would be an awsome place.

So it only took 2 weeks of "debates" but we have the R.O. unit in and fully operational. I managed to get everyone to agree on splurging for a 1400gpd spectrapure high efficiency unit (1:3 ratio instead of the usual 1:4). It's so cool I might have to name it. 4' membrane, 20" micron, 2 20" DI canisters (the blue ones), and a massive prefilter carbon tank:


Also, as a side note, we were down at Disney the weekend of the 14th for a trade show. Current, brought their brand new nano system to debut there. It can come with everything pictured or parted out. I thought it looked pretty cool for a nano so I had to take a pic to bring back. The official name is "Solana" this pic shows the only one made so far:

Personally, I like the light. They had a 150w in it and said they might go 250 but it's a remote possibility.

That's nice looking nano tank. The big question is, how much is for whole setup? When is this going to be available?

i was here before under the previous owners. it wasnt bad, it looks like its the same set up from before

 

[lfsmarineguy]

We're the original owners....it's a new store lol. I know the guys over at current and I managed to get a free one for the store to setup as a display tank. As for the final pricing it is still to be determined but we should have numbers by opening. It's not cheap though the initial prices were pretty rough for a nano.

[jhale]

[lfsmarineguy]

[lfsmarineguy]

[ireefny]

wow! I guess it aint a secret anyomre.......doh!

 

[cb747]

beer? did someone say beer????

 

[crox99]

beer? did someone say beer????

Jared said a beer fridge but it will probably be packed with RO/DI water.:tired:

 

[lfsmarineguy]

Who needs to put RO in the fridge when you can put it in these bad boys


That system is running off a pool pump and can drain or move each 300g in under 45secs so we can get the truck out quickly in the morning.

[Tim]

How do you store it in the truck? Any pics?

 

[lfsmarineguy]

2 250g vats tied down in the bed.

 

[ireefny]

[lfsmarineguy]
