Hi Smiller, thanks so much, will do that so I wont have to buy it here and haul it. See you all soon.
An, I see you are in Cedar Creek Lake, we looked for property around the lake but no large land available, were looking for a farm. Thats a beautiful area. We should get a few folks together down that way and purchase several buckets and have just one person go and pick it up when they go. Will save everyone a trip. I will volunteer for a run for it when I get settled in down there. Thanks for the advice. Karen |

Whoops.....my bad. There are LFS in Dallas that sell Oceanic buckets, but I don't know what the price is. Probably around $55 is my guess. PetsMart does carry the 90 gallon container. You can see what the on-line price is on that and do the same thing. I go to Dallas at least every couple of months. I can pick up salt any time, but I don't think they stock much at a time. Canton is a nice area also. I have been there many times. Where is your place?

Ok ya'll, lol, I will get it right, I was saying can ton, hubby says its canton, heheh, he was born and raised in Tx, all family is there, I am a yankee so have to learn how to talk texan I guess. lol.
I can get oceanic here for 50g bucket for 32.00, may have to get some to bring with me to make sure I have enough till I can find some there. Not sure of the exact address, have it here somewhere, its out in the country, ( lol) on 40 acres. Home and 60' by 60' shop (hubby will be in heaven). Will get better directions when I find the address and will pm it to you. Karen |

Take your hubby's word for it....it is Canton. Say it like Kanten.....but just barely pronounce the T. Practice before you get here so we won't think that your no crazy dad gumYankee!
Nice looking place you bought. No need to send me an address....that won't tell me anything. If someone in Texas asks you were you are located, you respond "A piece down FM(Farm to Market Road)____ (Fill in the blank) just north/south/east/west of town a bit." See how it works?

AS far as Oceanic goes around Tyler( and I use Oceanic), Pet Land almost always carries it. A bucket that makes up 200 gal. is $55. Sometimes they have it on sale. THe Dallas club just had a big buy through one of their stores and we got the 200 gl for $32. I bought 3 of them. We still don't have Pet Land for a sponsor, but if they could see how they could benefit from us like through a group buy on salt etc, mabe they would. The store in Dallas I think ordered around 150 buckets to get us this price. Although I'm not sure what the minimum amount was required to get it. All I know is that when I went to pick it up it was stacked everywhere inside and outside. Especially outside on pallets that they had been delivered on. That's a lot of salt. I've been having to do so many water changes that I couldn't help but take advantage of it. THe owners of Pet Land , Dave and Robin, are really nice and you will enjoy working with them. Hurry up and get here so we can all get accquainted! Cindy |

O.K. Bump, I'm still waiting on some pics of the new tank and cabinet. You've got me wanting a larger tank really bad. How thick is the glass on your new tank?
Will be waiting to hear from you. And what was the name or web address of that company again? Cindy |

Hi Gals, so happy there are gals there into reefs to, wow, cool, oh sorry, thats a yankee term, yeaaahawww, hehehehe
my moving date is the 8th of nov, but not sure I will be able to make that, may have to be postponed a week but will see. Great on the salt, regular price here is 42.00 but sometimes there is a sale for 32.00. I think I will pick up a bucket to bring with me just in case I cant find it there fast. I have 3 large tanks that I am bringing with me, the roses, another 55 that is not set up and my 40g, the rest will be torn down. All livestock is coming with me so have to set them all up quick to get the stock into them, so will need the salt fast. Am bringing most of the water from them with me in 5g water bottles to hopefully the cycle wont be to much. See you soon. |

Hi all
The tank will stay in the truck for a few days becouse it hasta cure for 10 days. That will give me time to paint the inside of the tank top & to polyurethane the stand & top. I will take pictures in a few days after i get the stuff to start work with that way the stand wont get oil or dust on it. They wraped it up real good with plastic wrap. I will get pic. before i start on it & then after its done. Bump |
