Jojo, you are trully a genuine friend to many on this board including myself and I can't see you leave without us fighting to keep you in with us. I will personally donate a fresh large yellow tang, 2 new percs and a couple of beautiful frags to help get you back on your feet if you decide to stay. I'm sure all of us here at SDREEFS will be more than happy to help. I hope you reconsider and decide to stay. NOW C'MON EVERYONE, GET OFF YOU ASS AND LETS GET OUR FALLEN FRIEND BACK ON HIS FEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please chime in with donations to our friend and PLEASE FOLLOW THROUGH as we know JOJO would do the same for us. :D :D :D :D :D :) :) :) :) :)

[WanaLeime]

Thats awesome Gustavo...I was thinking of starting a "FUND/rebuild" thread for JOJO too...I guess great minds think alike....

Kuya JoJo - I might have a RIO pump for you...I just have to dig in the garge for it....

[Chanas4]

I have a Tunze nanostream 6045 and I will buy the NEW Return pump if Jo Jo decides. I can also contribute more dependingon what is needed.

Since I dont have much in the way of equipment and live stock ( I have some nice frogspawn) Can we keep a running list, so some of us can see what is left to get or even if just money is helpful.

[SDguy]

I've got a Mag 9.5 he could use for a return pump if he wants.

[SDguy]

And plenty of that branching hammer coral that I swear is indestructible!

[Nick_Kun]

I'll donate

1-GBTA with Purple Tips
1-Large Frag of Orange Montipora Cap
1-Rainbow Yuma
1-Colony of blue mushrooms
1-Frag of Brarium
1-Frag of Echinophora Lamellosa

Just let me know when you are ready jojo.

- Nick

[SolRo]

I can donate some zoos after they recover from their nudi attack/QT

[Redeye]

I got a frilly mushroom and some more xenia for you to try again:)

[SolRo]

some neon green GSP and a green monti cap frag as well

[malachai629]

I don't have much in the way of corals, but I can bring the beer!

[SDguy]

Stacy you just made yourself *the* most important person in this intervention (except jojo of course) :D

[BigAir]

Got a few heads of pink tip frogspawn that I can cut off, and a frag of cabbage coral.

[Diver Dan]

I have a little head of aquacultured frogspawn if yu want, i also have a yellow fiji leather, and zoas...

[barometer]

I have a couple loose zoas and GSP and a tiny pink sinularia frag to throw into the mix :)

[SDguy]

So clearly there are PLENTY of livestock donations....let's get in there and set up that tank to be as crashproof as we can first! (Tomorrow works best for me though...helping Marlin today :o )

[barometer]

I agree with Peter. The tank needs to get set up first if this is gonna happen. Unfortunately I have no equipment to add, but please do keep us posted on tank progress and when it'll be ready to re-stock :cool:

[SDFISHMAN]

jojo if you need any equipment my garage is open too you..

[SDguy]

jojo if you need any equipment my garage is open too you..

Well heck, jojo is set now...that's like Marine Depot opening their doors :D

[afitzwater]

I have some zoos/hammer/frogspawns ill donate

[vinny73]

I got one of my Visual Mechanics Calcium Reactors for you with pump. Depending on his Electical load, we may need to up his breaker. Any electricians down to change it out for him. I have a bunch of outlets too! Lets make him a power center like Jasper makes! We got enough corals it looks like! Anyone have say , a Quiet one 6000 or similar pump so we can do a closed loop for him? I have boxes and boxes of pvc fittings to redo the plumbing if need be! I will even give him the 1st protoype of my water change device. I can even throw in his own scripps water hose if he needs one. Everyone's got a grip of stuff. Let's focus on equipment . I think it would be easier for us to figure out what needs to be done once we see his setup. I can bring all my woodworking and plumbing tools if he needs a canopy made as well. It doesn't take long if I have a couple extra hands! I don't have a co2 tank or reg to donate. Sunday works good for me too. Is anyone down to do maybe a bbq to keep all fed and working?

[vinny73]

Can someone swing by JOJO's to see the work that needs to be done?

[Jessy]

well I'm sure I have some bright orange pavona and some surf & turf SPS I could give him. I'll give you one of my orange rics as well. And I don't have a lot of other stuff, but I live by scripps and can bring water down. But I'm only good for 25 gallons with my current jug situation.

[vinny73]

I am coordinating with Peter right now on a time. I am gonna give JOJO a call and tell him our intentions. Hopefully he's down!!!!!!!!!!! I think those who ordered a scripps hose may need to pick it up at JOJO"s house.

[BigAir]

I've got a Pan World external NH-100PX pump, if it will work for the CL, it is his. 3/4" in and outs.

[vinny73]

That would be SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! Thank you! What size are the inlet and outlet? Male or female connections?

[BigAir]

That would be SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! Thank you! What size are the inlet and outlet? Male or female connections?

3/4" in and out both male. I went and checked, it is rated at 790 GPH. MD says similar to a Iwaki 40rlt.

[SDguy]

I've got a Pan World external NH-100PX pump, if it will work for the CL, it is his. 3/4" in and outs.

I've got a panworld 100px and they are 1" connections....:confused:

[BigAir]

I've got a panworld 100px and they are 1" connections....:confused:

Must be the 100PX-X that you have, it has the 1" and is rated for 1250 or so GPH.

[SDguy]

Ah, yup, that's it :)

[vinny73]

Okay, it's a go!!!! Everyone get your stuff dusted off and tested!!! I just got off the phone with JOJO and he is speachless. He is gonna talk with his wife and let us know what time we can get started!!! SO, We need a Co2 tank and reg, all the pumps that everyone is offering, a bit of your time and hard work please! As soon as I know what time, I will let everyone know!!! Thanks, Vinny.

[Diver Dan]

I am down for sunday! LMK!
Cool thing we're doing!
BTW, can we get his address so we know where to go, please!

[BigAir]

So how big is this tank? I have about 200 gallons of dead scripps that I can bring and pump in when it is all plumbed.

[acbaldwin]

Wow. You guys are the best!

I am sorry, I have pretty much nothing to donate, as my tank has very little equipment in the first place.

Well if you guys need a place to hold corals/lr/ls etc I have 4-6 30 gal rubbermaid bins that I can donate to the cause!

[h20poloman]

Definitely willing to chip in some money if needed. I also have extra 150W titanium heaters w/controllers and a Seio 820 if needed.

[coral diver]

[gvidal14]

OK. Now that we know JOJO has a glass sump, We need someone tha thas an extra acrylic sump or small acrylic tank to donate, I wish I hadn't sold the one's I had already.

[Nick_Kun]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww www

[coral diver]

If you guy would like to pass by and see what you guys are getting your self into here is our address 702 East 22st apt 219 National City CA 91950

[vinny73]

Yes, we do need an acrylic sump! If somone could pass by, please take some pics and post please!

[gvidal14]

OK boys and girls, I just got off the phone with JOJO. Here is the address and as for time, JOJO said he gets up at 5am everyday. I told him I would be there around 8. All welcome tomorrow, it doesn't matter what time, just come by. I'm sure everyone will be there for a while.

702 East 22st apt 219 National City CA 91950

[vinny73]

I will be at scripps at 8 am getting water. see you at 830.

[BigAir]

I'll blow thru about 9am with the external pump that I promised. Do we need any water, if so I will come down in the van w/ 150 or so gallons. Otherwise I will be on the bike.

[vinny73]

It wouln't hurt to bring the water please. It would be nice to do a big water change. pm jojo and see what he would like to do please.

[RussM]

I'll be by late morning with an extended-runtime 1400VA UPS to help prevent power-loss diasters. It's an older model, but I just replaced the batteries a few weeks ago. Hopefully you guys can shoehorn it in. I'd love to stay and help in any way I could, but I have to fly to Miami:(

[coral diver]

Hello again everyone well after a 20% W/C last night and putting in a temporary return pump today the cloudy water has cleared and some of the foul odor are going away i will do some more W/C later and test the water my main light just turned on its not that bad plus 1 ginger goby and 1 small rescued clown survive i will keep everyone up to date

[RussM]

Vinny & Gustavo... since you two seem to be leading the effort, please let me know if any 1" bulkheads and/or 1" single-union ball valves will be of use... I have 2 extras of each.

[gvidal14]

All equipment would be of help. The plan is to redo all the plumbing. Hopefully with the help of all, we can make this happen.

[malachai629]

Stacy you just made yourself *the* most important person in this intervention (except jojo of course) :D

FINALLY! I always knew I was good for something.

[vinny73]

Russ, I could use all the parts I can get! For those who can stay, my wife is gonna make a batch of her awesome lasagne! She is the bomb for a wifey! This is gonna be fun! Jojo, you will be the 1st to officially have your tank PIMPED YO! I should get drunk so I can pass out and then tomorrow will come sooner! TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM!!!!!! Where's the captain!!!!!!! Stacy, tim likes captain and I like......... whatevers on sale! Except milwaukees worst! This is encouraging to see what a tight knit community we have! See Jojo, it pays to let someone else be the a$$hole and read your mind!

[Diver Dan]

I like anything that does not have a warning label, Gatorade is good:p

[onad75]

should we bring the corals in tomorrow or you have to wait and let the water cycle first? but either way I will have corals for you JOjo..

ohh Jo do you need more cheato?

[gvidal14]

Just talked to JOJO and he would like to reschedule the rebuild efforts. He will let us know as soon as he is ready. He and his wife have some things to take care of first but he says he will do it. I hope everyone will still be ready to help when he is ready. Thank you to all for all the support.

[vinny73]

Just got the same phone call! JOJO would like to let everyone know that you all are incredible people to help someone in need!!! He says thank you!

[gvidal14]

Sound like were doing this next week. Hope to see everyone there.

[MadMax]

If someone can pickup in Garden Grove, I'd like to donate nearly his entire plumbing package: bulkhead fittings, ballvalves, PVC fittings, glue/primer, etc. what ever it takes. If nothing else, I could probably ship the items a couple days before if someone has a list of items needed.

I also have test kits, additives, salt, food, and various other peripheral items I can throw in.

hey Kevin, you are more than welcome to send everything to me when the time comes. you already have my address I'll make sure jojo gets them

[sandiegan]

If that doesn't work I can probably swing through there this weekend and drop it all off at Jessica's place. Just let me know.

[MadMax]

That would be great if you're going to be in the area. Please let me know if/when this is confirmed.

Does anyone have an idea of what plumbing parts will be needed? Alternatively, just give me a basic idea of the system that you want to build and I'll put together a package of parts.
IE: aquarium/sump size, pump, closed-loop?, drain/return size, # of outlets, etc.

thanks,
Kevin
