    Thanx Tom, and Rebecca

    Rebecca the picture my greenhouse in my backyard is smaller than the one on the new location and yes more than likely I will eventually be using them both....Havent really decided if Im gonna move out there....Or should I say my wife hasnt decided yet

    Schradermo,
    Dude I think you are talking about how many yards are in a dump truck....I know its around 18, im trying to figure out the cubic ft. to yard conversion.

    I thought you said 2.5 inches depth.If it is 2.5 feet it should be just above 222 yards of dirt.

    Hey Jeff!

    I am moving out there, we sold our house. My plans are to lay a concrete pad for a large Workshop/Garage (which I will probably build myself) 30'x40' as well as laying a concrete pad for the existing Greenhouse w/inclination grading to drains, laying my geothermal beforehand. I will probably be digging a pond on the property to get the dirt I want to elevate the land....So I get to rent more big Tractors....Yehawwww. We may build a caged swimming pool too...and then in a year or two we will probably build a house.

    Im actually selling/giving/and finding temp homes for alot of my corals right now Do you have room in your system to hold a few pieces? I really dont want alot of Livestock when I move I will probably only setup a 300g rubbermaid w/ LR a large Euroreef and maybe heater/chiller for temp. purposes. I close on my house Oct. 15th so I wont be doing much until that date (cept packing)

    Smile Congrats!!!

    Hey Rocky Dude

    Just checking the GH thread and learned you sold the house and bought the prop with the GH on it. That's awsome! Wish I could keep some of your stock for you but, I'm a bit far away.

    Latest on my FL project is, the land is cleared, the pond is dug and we are waiting for the pond soil to dry enough to compact for the house foundation.

    I'm not sure when my next trip to FL will be but, will get in touch with you when I'm coming down.

    Good luck on the closing, packing and moving. Wish I were there to help..............

    Hey Richard, was supposed to close yesterday but it never happened (suppose to close today, subject to change of course ), my house is totally empty cept 1 bed, greenhouse has been disassembled and tanks broke down. 1 - 1000gallon blue pond/pool has been setup on new location with a dolphin 5400 hhs pump the pond is loaded w/about 900lbs of cured LR, and no SB. I also used NSW from the atlantic (your coast )I have alot of work ahead of me thats fer sure man! All corals and fish that are also in this 1000g are all doing fine right now but Im sure I will be breaking out my 2 - 900w heaters soon as the nights are getting very cool. One of the first things I will be doing is hooking up atleast 2 large counter current skimmers on this thing....Gotta go unload the truck right now, Hopefully tonite the deal will be done!

    Just read through your geothermal heating/cooling discussion and have a suggestion for you. Why not use the piping only to cool and build a separate insulated reservoir for winter time heating. In the winter, transfer the water from the pipes to the insulated reservoir and run water through black tubing during the day to absorb heat during the day. THen run the reservoir water into your tanks at night to help keep them warm.

    I don't know what kind of daytime water temps you will get in your reservoir. A lot probably depends on how much heat absorbing black tubing you are able to install.

    Just got back from a trip to Australia and the great barrier reef. Winter water temps on the barrier drop down to 21 degrees celcius (I think thats 72) so I expect that cooler winter temps should not (as you have already found out)be a big problem.

    Its fascinating to watch you progress.

    Fred.
