    FREE - 180 gallon tank, stand, hood, equipment

    Alive and well, thank you, Arnold. Who else is still around from circa 2005? Is Rich(?) - the CAS biologist, still active? He hooked me up to donate the big leather corals from my tank, and I was able to get a behind the scene tour when I delivered to San Francisco. Speaking of banggai...

    Banggai Breeding

    Old pic from when I had bucket loads of rotis for clowns and soda bottle brine shrimp to feed hungry banggers. This thread is a flashback for me.

    Good time to buy a house??

    Congrats, Phong, and welcome to the Home Depot, Lowes and Harbor Freight Tools. You'll be a frequent visitor, guaranteed. It's been a year since I've gone "tankless". so there's life after reefing. Been enjoying watching the electric meter spin backwards, don't feel the urgency yet to...

    Good time to buy a house??

    Andy, ZIP code is 94591. The size of the previous loan reflects inflated prices going back maybe 3 years or so. My Mexican handyman rents a room in a house down the street from this one. He said the owner paid >$400,000 a few yeas ago, spent $10k upgrading the pool area and making an...

    Good time to buy a house??

    Kinda late response, but I've been "away" for awhile. It's a great time to buy from an investor's perspective. Here are some numbers from a recent acquisition: 3 Bedroom 1 bath, 1032 sq ft. "Move-in" condition, (not bad for bank-owned) nicely landscaped backyard. Foreclosure. Last...

    OT: Time to say goodbye.

    We had a member here, AKACable, who is an ER nurse at Eden Medical trauma center. Working weekend graves, you can imagine the carnage he sees. He told me he lost it one night when a rider his age was brought in, and they couldn't save him. He had pictures of his kids in his wallet. BTW...

    PV to EV

    I've seen many a reef setups north of 15k. This project was never intended to be a money saver. Combination of motivations: concern for the environment, putting the solar production to work (other than feeding the tanks), hedging against gas price increases (it was ~$2 a gallon when I...

    PV to EV

    Well, the cost of my conversion can be split three ways: 1) "donor car" cost 2) classic car restoration 3) Internal combustion engine (ICE) to Electric vehicle (EV) switcharoo. 1) I paid a bit more money for mine because the previous owner has already sunk a few thousand dollars into the car...
