markdadof2 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Welcome aboard Jules. I am in beaverton as well, so when you are ready for some corals let me know and I can get you started with some decent frags (no charge). I started out with a similar system as yours and I replaced the stock lighting with a 150w halide (sunpod). Worked great but heated things up a bit (a decent fan took care of that).

Queen Angel Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Hi Jules This is a very addicting hobby. Of all the hobbies that have come and gone in my life, this one has been around since '85. I got out of it when we first moved back here in 95, thinking I didnt want to do it anymore. I had all my fish stuff moved up here with me too. I sold the tanks but kept the matching 125 gallon stands. Not longer after I again bought a 125. Now I have a 220 FOWLR (fish only with live rock) I have alot of softies now too. Even with all the years I been in this hobby, I still know less than most everyone on here. I dont consider myself high tech with my equipment on my tank, the more I get out and go to the meetings the more I learn. It is so nice to see other people tanks. Welcome to the Club, I call it PMS for short LOL. Hope to meet you soon, are you going to the meeting? Tammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tammy LOL thats too funny (PMS)(laugh) I'm not a paying member yet so I will have to wait for the next go around. It sounds like it would be something I would like to do though. Welcome... If you ever get up this way I can also try to set you up with some easy starter frags once you're ready if you want. Believe it or not I am actually going to Longview to visit family next weekend and go fishing...I am very tempted to start something that doesn't need a huge amount of light but not sure. How would I transport it from there to here?? Thank you all for your welcomes, very friendly people on here, I like it (clap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 .....I'm not a paying member yet so I will have to wait for the next go around. It sounds like it would be something I would like to do though. ..... Too late for this meeting however everyone is always welcome at the monthly meetings regardless of the membership status. Generally it's a chance for someone here to show off their tank while everyone else oogles and awes over it. (drooler) While drooling is frowned upon I've never seen anyone get in trouble for it.

Jules Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 Update: I just thought I would let everyone know, I am now a member and you are stuck with me for life unless you run me off within the next year. Then I would suck it up and come back anyway so.....YAY! (clap) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 thanks everyone! I don't think i would have a chance in that grow out, not quite the right set up for competition. Maybe after I get some better lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 I everyone, I haven't been on in a few months, but I am trying to get back in the groove. I just bought a used 20g tank for $100. It seems to have a somewhat decent set-up on it. Marineland H.O.T canister filter w/ some type of skimmer attached to it(seems really cheap) and a HOB wet/dry marineland filter system. I have sw and about 1 inch of fine sand in it with the biowheel running. (2 days now) Still need to get some live rock for it. My 12g is doing pretty good, no fish left in it my Blenny found a way to get thru a tiny gap and...well...you know how that goes. :( My hermit crab took over my nauss shell.....cerith are just a snack for him now, he moved up to a bigger and better home. I was trying to get a good pod population going after moving and I think I over did it trying to put a little food in there for them, my nitrates went thru the roof before i new it, so working on getting that down atm. Still not sure what I want to put in the 20g yet. The 12 I think i will get maybe some sexy shrimp, (the ones that dance?) little things like that, no fish for now. I recently moved so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
