  1. I am interested depending on your location, I am in SE Portland
  2. I like the All For Reef but I bought a magnetic stirrer for it and it still didn't dissolve so I double the amount of water and then double the dose... problem solved. Since then am seeing some improvements in SPS which were struggling with 2 part dosing, better color anyways, and alk and calcium have been solid. So far so good at one month. I do not do dosing pumps, just slowlypour in a daily dose at the end of the day when I am checking everything before bed. I also do top offs manually and add vinegar as carbon dosing at this time.
  3. The obvious solution is more and more amazing plants! You guys have some great ones. Thanks again for hosting, thanks @obrien.david.j for the frags and knowledge, and @Eatfrenchfriesfor the cultures. I have a couple culture questions- what salinity and temperature should they be at, how many hours of light for the phyto, and was the phyto recently fertilized or is it due? Kate
  4. I am going, and can bring a couple cuttings of photosynthetic gorgonian, some old school Tubb's Blues zoas and what I call Grape Ape hairy mushrooms, which are the green base type with some purple/lavender to the tips depending on lighting. They came from a public aquarium on the East Coast about 20 years ago, never saw anyone else sell or name them so I did ๐Ÿ™‚ Took these photos with my phone and did my best on the colors but it's not the greatest. The phone wants to make all the blues and purples ridiculously oversaturated. So that last pic is the best of the Grape Ape.
  5. I've been looking for bam bam and Green Bay packers zoas for a long time, looks like you have both. Will you be at the meeting?
  6. I am a little nervous... haven't been there in over a week because of the storm! The building has a natural gas generator system that supposedly runs the whole thing because there are servers for the district there so hoping for the best.
  7. How big of a tank do you have? I have a lot of softies and an easy gorgonian that grows like mad. SE Portland. Downside: There may be vermetids. So dipping is in order. Then again, you may already have those ๐Ÿ™‚ and also my driveway is currently a sheet of ice. Kate
  8. They are presently switching from the well field to Bull Run and usually increase the ammonia during the transition, seems like itโ€™s usually earlier but there was the fire. You could try making the first stage a chloramine rated carbon prefilter, just donโ€™t forget to change it
  9. Hi, I am breeding freshwater shrimp, dart frogs and raising sundews indoors and need to add more tank space. Before I ask my friend to build me a rack and buy new tanks, thought I would check if anyone has a rack of 20's, 10's or even 30L tanks that they want to sell from their old fish room project. No need for drilled tanks and planning on using sponge filters so not needing anything fancy. Thanks, Kate
  10. David that is probably what led to mine going away. They should be limited in the nano at the school, and my 125 being so overrun with vermetids most of my sps died, I probably should be enthusiastic about the hardier stuff anyways. Plus you can see these across the room, they tend to be really vivid. For the class they don't really understand coral so going for maximum color. They like the fish.
  11. Thanks! I can trade you too, technically I still own the tank... just in case a kid gets too physical with it or I otherwise need to remove or switch it to freshwater. So I don't mind paying or trading. I used to have buckets of all of these, but they gradually got traded away, should have kept some.
  12. I started a nano for the classroom I work at, no skimmer so sticking to hardy colorful stuff. Was hoping to balance the colors with frags of the above. Located in SE Portland. The tank is in a special ed classroom and the kids love it, just got a pair of clowns fish wise. Can anyone sell or trade me the above listed stuff? It is not an official Tanks For Teachers system, was not sure it would work out so just set it up myself, was kinda afraid kids would bang the glass or admins would freak out, but so far so good. Thanks, Kate
  13. I am looking for old school mushrooms, the purple ones and the red ones if that is what you have
