I have not been on this forum for something like 5 years. I thought I would re-introduuce myself. I am looking to jump back in the hobby. I am beginning to do my research and get a foothold on the newer tech. Mostly things seem the same with the exception to lighting! LED central. Looks like cubes are not quite as popular as they were back in 11' too. I am looking to start a 20 or 30 gallon for starters. I am still in education as a principal. I miss having tanks in my classroom (At one point I had over 250 gallons going!). Looks like many schools are enjoying the benefits of the TFT program. That makes me very happy. Joel

I have not had a chance to get any mithrax crabs yet. In the meantime, I am manually trimming daily and I added chaeto to the main display in hopes that it will take off and deprive the brown stuff from nutrients.

Yeah, emerald crabs i think are my first shot. They are like 8 bucks in town. I think a naso that is 2 inches long would be hard to find, especially in Eugene. I also looked into sea hares, but research says sometimes they don't eat this stuff.

Hey all, I have been steadily caring for a 15 gallon nano for 11 months. The tank has a mix of sps, zoos, and lps. I have no sand bed but a cpr hang on fuge filled with carib-sea fuge mud. My sps are happy and growing. Some of my lower light corals are hiding under rocks. The tek t5 is a bit much for some of the corals. Anyways, I have an algae problem that started a month ago. I believe I have a bown algae called dictyota. It is brown and it forks from a branch. The algae spreads over rock and encroaches on corals. It is hard to get it off. I have been using long plant tweezers to remve what I can. If ANY free pieces get away, they start a new colony. I only have one fish in this tank, a randall's goby. Anyone have ideas on how to get rid of dictyota?

Great news. Glad she got it back. Eugene is a thief magnet.

Mac owner/user since 94' PC User since 89'. Both are easy to use now. You can buy good protection for both. PCs are cheaper. Who cares how fast they are for the average non gamer user. The question is.... what computing needs do you have. Macs break and so do pcs. Buy what you want and can afford. Just do not buy a cheap computer. Personally I love macs. I am beginning to dislike how much they make you pay for all the extras like adapters and such. Having a laptop is very convenient if you are not sure about desktop vs. laptop.

I hear they have extra stinger tentacles.

Stopped by yesterday. Aaron's shop does have a lot of potential. I picked up some skunk clowns and a bta. Lot's of room for coral IF people start buying it there. I would describe him as a flexible thinker. If freshwater drives his business he will expand that. If salt drives it he says he will expand that side. I hope he makes it.

Best regards Roger. Sorry I could not make it this year.

Great to see you back on the forum. Let me know if you come to Eugene. I will hook you up with a coral or two( no mantis though). We may not have Liquid Sunshine (almost) anymore, but anyone who has saltwater has snatched up 80% of his goods in the last week. He has been at 75% off for two days going on three. You would not believe the pent up demand. I know that there is a solid saltwater community down here. You just have to offer up great prices.

I too prefer Saturdays and Sundays. Occasionally, I can make a week night, but it's rare.

I really like that pink rimmed acan. Wowee!

(agree) Yes,Saturday 2/6 is good. Say 5:00 .... meet and greet or tour. Franklin, bring some extra black pumps. I'm a size 10 and a half. We will celebrate A.M.D.O.H.S. together.

This Sunday is ok for me. But I prefer the first weekend in February. I am already spending a lot of time on my Solana doing the breakdown this Saturday and setting up the new nano. Need to spend a little time with the family.

Let's start with a meet. Maybe later in the Spring we will have a tour. That could take some organizing.

Count me in.

I am in too. Let's get a party going on man! I will be in for a tour. Definitely a frag swap too. I have a green acan colony I am dying to frag!

ttft f tft- Technology Teaching For Teachers for Tanks for Teachers

Red Striped Cardinals. Non aggressive, beautiful. Unique.

I was active. My coldwater tank was one of the first tft's donated by James at Envision. Currently, it is managed by Jessica Johnson at my former school. I have encouraged her to join but she has not at this time. Contact the school: James Madison Middle School 875 Wilkes Drive, Eugene, OR 97404. 541-790-4300 Hope this helps.

I would be happy to help any teachers who join the program from Eugene. Also, I can help maintain the wiki if you continue to use it. I may not be a teacher anymore, but I still can help teachers in the program down here.

I have something. Pm'ed you.

How about 2 20 longs drilled and fitted with drains and bulkheads? Come and get em!

I have a euroreef cs6-1. Nice skimmer. Rated to 120. I will make you a deal. Give me a call.
