Milford/dingmans ferry

 

[Justcause0_1]

Ok I'm in Stroudsburg

 

[TUSI]

What?s taking you so long. Come on get on with it already

 

[duke62]

Very close to me. Hows that LFS over there? Any spa?
Tusi I?m going as fast as I can lmao

 

[Justcause0_1]

Aquatic Imports is not very big on Coral they have some low end LPS and their fish selection is also not the greatest..... But they get their deliveries on Sundays so if you wanted to visit them that would be the best day.

Wow, Milfod/Dingmans Ferry... that's a blast from the past for me. I grew up going to Gold Key Lake every weekend, holiday, and summer from the 70s to 1993. Have you lived in that area long?

Nice spot for the tank, looking forward to more updates.

 

[duke62]

Moved here a year and a half ago

 

[duke62]

What about M&F reef?

 

[Justcause0_1]

I only went to m&f reefs once and their selection wasn't great either...... There used to be another store 'Trinity Reefs' on Main Street but they were recently bought out by aquatic Imports and they turned it into a freshwater Only Store

I moved to PA a year ago and my 75 gallon reef crashed after the move so I took a year off and now I'm doing a 200 gallon but I get all my stuff from stores in New York

 

[duke62]

At least the one I've been to suck...

 

[duke62]

Marek I know Sal was telling me. I?ll be there next year and the MR fall swap

 

[duke62]

Rocks are done bleaching. Drying in the sun then a soak in some RO for a few day

 

[duke62]

Little snag. Going to have to figure this out. Made 20 gallons of water to soak my live rock using a brand new RODI and my sediment filter is orange along with 1 stage of my DI is turning brown already. Well water is not a ideal water source for us reefers ??????. Might need to install a calcite neutrilizing filter to help raise the ph. Have to do some reading up on it

 

[Justcause0_1]

Yeah well water is no good for us..... I purchase my RO water from aquatic Imports on the 611 @ 50cents/gallon

 

[duke62]

Def not a option for me to do. I do 30 gallons a week in water changes and my initial startup is going to be about 280 gallons of water
