  1. In addition to the sale threads mentioned, people planning to trim large fast growing colonies will often offer pieces to people at the meetings so definitely worth following those meeting threads when they start back up!
  2. Good luck! Hope that works out. We tried a few things and ultimately had it replaced with a resin counter/sink combination like in our regular lab spaces 😞 I was honestly surprised as the salt content in that system is pretty low compared to what we run in our setups.
  3. I can't believe it's been that long already!! Glad to see you back at it Kim and jealous of your fish room potential - so much easier when you have the room and facilities to do "wet work". BTW - get ready to lots of polishing on that very nice stainless sink setup - we had one in a zebrafish room at work and it would surface rust constantly even with the low salt content in their water 😞 I don't even have a functional utility sink though so you are way better off πŸ™‚
  4. Love this place! Haven't been in for a while but they used to treat me very well even when buying old discrete component mass market stuff like my Marantz 2325 receiver ($300 at the time) but also had all the high-end mono tube gear and esoteric speakers you could ask for. A lot of the dedicated audiophiles seemingly would trade in their no longer wanted gear (on to the next big thing) so you could find and listen to things you (or at least I) could never afford to buy new at much more accessible prices. I even used to bring in my Goodwill bin finds (Marantz, Yamaha natural sound, etc.) for store credit. Great shop!
  5. Love that flame wrasse!
  6. That is a lot of yellow tang biomass in there! Going to start a captive breeding program πŸ˜ƒ Really starting to take shape - nice job!
  7. Love the yellow acros - such a hard color to find. Nice score.
  8. Nice! That is one thing about PDX water - you can actually do an effective job with DI only and not run through resin like crazy. Very practical!
  9. Very generous of you @CuttleFishandCoralbut that isn't anything new! Didn't know anyone in the club had those large DI tanks at home. We use several in the RO/DI system at work that serves our building (including two large zebrafish facilities) so am used to seeing them... just not at home πŸ˜ƒ Sounds like you got a deal on resin at some point - not cheap stuff!
  10. Congrats Andrew! Now I know another person I can borrow from in an emergency πŸ˜ƒ Don't worry, it wouldn't actually fit in my car so you are safe...
  11. I was going to say special skilz but that works πŸ˜ƒ
  12. This is really interesting and will be fascinated to hear if it works. If so, I wouldn't have to plan for @pdxmonkeyboy to build me a new acrylic tank until more like 2050 instead of 2030 πŸ˜ƒ
  13. Great idea for a raffle! I could use a larger generator but would need someone to build a garage for me to store it in!
  14. Great deal if you are looking for an effective UV for a large system - GLWS!
  15. Yeah, maybe set up a "service" with local Petcos where you pick up their infested rock and return it aptasia free - might work!
  16. BTW - @Bicyclebill I just found/ordered some from another vendor in the one dose/count option they still had in stock so will have extra if you want to try it.
  17. This is really interesting. Didn't know that was a potential response to high flow... then again, never tried Mollies in a SW system. Thanks for sharing!
  18. I know you are one of their Betas now but these guys need to start paying you!
  19. Thanks Andrew! Of course, my original post was supposed to say "equipment hoarders" but you know how that goes... Looks like pump is about $60 on Amazon so this would make a pretty nice setup for someone and complete with media! Hmmm....
  20. Eli @EMeyer had a really interesting thread on the use of specific antibiotics to treat brown jelly on euphyllia (I can't tell if that is a likely culprit or not) but might be worth a read.
  21. Hey Andrew - looks like the Eheim pump for that (or one that will work on it) is still available. Do you happen to have the t-connectors for re-plumbing it? Could make a nice affordable setup for someone (or a backup for certain equipment hoarders...) 😁
  22. I unfortunately missed this but will watch the replay. It's kind of cool that our local PNWMAS board member is getting famous for his Apex automation chops! Thanks for the contribution @Snappy!
  23. Great deal! Unfortunately won't fit in my sump πŸ˜’
