    I would like some experienced help converting from my present 30G saltwater tank to a new 90G tank I recently acquired.  First help I need is inventorying what other items I need to purchase.  Will pay $20 per hour while in my home.  I live in Glen Oaks in West Des Moines. 
    Thanks!

    I think you are smart in trying to get experience involved in your upgrade. The only thing I would say is that if you post a question on here, you generally get a whole lot of different answers, depending on various people's experiences and successes. I would ask questions here regarding equipment upgrade, etc to get a more rounded base of knowledge or suggestions before you decide.

    Just my opinion : )

    I can also offer my assistance if needed. I am fairly local (in Ames) and make it down to the Des Moines area a couple times a month usually.

    That's a first...someone asking others how to spend their money.  Usually no one listens and does what they want anyway. [​IMG]  Good luck with your tank transition and I hope you'll stick around because this club has a lot to offer!

    I live less than a mile from Glen Oaks (on Waterford across from Valley Stadium) and could help out, I have a rather busy schedule though. When do you plan on doing the transition? I maintain 3 large SW systems so I could offer some good advice if you have questions. I'll PM you my phone #
