Hi Everyone, sorry been on vacation. Will be back in Portland on the 20th. I have a grouping of tanks hooked together for when I was breeding clownfish.. a 210 gal tank with stand and top.. skimmers, rock, etc. a lot of stuff accumulated thru the years. Moving to Fl and it either finds a home or a dumpster... there is one tank setup I am taking with me... everything else goes one way or another. Would like to give first crack to the tanks for teachers..

Hi All I have a lot of equipment collected through the years. moving and would like someone to take it off my hands. use it in the program, sell it to raise funds.. whatever doesn't go ends up in a dumpster. Would love for it to spark someones interest in the hobby and have a future.

Don't quit! I was very Impressed with your tanks, and wish I could do as well. Your quitting would be a loss, if you want/need help with things let me know. Scale back and just focus on something challenging. I picked breeding orchid dottybacks for my project.

PM sent for 1

yep, the wet spot carries them, they come in wednesdays and go pretty quick. they also carry live brine shrimp that come wednesday also. just picked some up yesterday. once the fish figure out the worms are food, watch out, feeding frenzy (scary)

sale pending, but if you want to get in line incase it falls thru you can shoot me a pm.

Hi Everyone, I have a pair of Clarkii that spawn like rabbits, want to see if anyone here is interested in the pair and trying to raise some? I am branching out to try mandarins and I need the tank space. The female is very aggresive and they would need their own tank. (or house with fish you dont want(whistle)) 50.00? can bring to Daves for the meeting this weekend. Brian

the babies will need to be seperated from the parents, once they hatch they are food. minimal air flow for circulation, they are very fragile. Food wise I would try Rotifers, maybe fresh hatch brine? I have a book at home that talks about raising them. training your peppermint shrimp, or something like that. Book is very informative from someone that has actually raised peppermints.

I had a 300 W heater break open in a tank... wow does that hurt in saltwater (cussing). I have GFCI circuit, but since heater doesnt use a ground it didnt trip. try a fluke multimeter, one plugged into ground, drop other end in the water and unplug until voltage goes away??

Nice! I wish I could afford a pair of Plats... wanna see what their babies would look like... (rock2) tanks look real clean too, trading a WOW account for james cleaning looks like it is paying off. you gonna keep a pair of plats and breed them?? would love to see the clownhouse "snowball" clown... pure white??(clap)

not to hijack, but Dave, have you posted pics of the picasso babies yet?????? i think there would be some interest here to see the varieties of what comes out..(rock2)

Welcome (clap), +1 for the nitrates coming in with the water if you are using tap water. test the water you are using before mixing up/using in the tank ,you may have an RO/DI in your future. Oh and feel free to ask lots of questions, I am glad to help.

well?? hatch?? numbers?? whats up? also want to trade a nest of GSM for a nest of picasso?? you should be getting low on GSM by now...(laugh)

congrats on the eggs. looks like you will have to let them hatch in the tank if you cant remove it. you could try and build a larval snagger if you want to catch them. If you dont already have rotifers going it is probably too late for this batch. if you can introduce something removable close to the spot they have chosen, you will be much more successful if you can remove eggs before the hatch.

Dave, you forgot the Vodka.... works for me!!(rock2)
