  1. · 210-gallon glass display · 4x4 construction stand · 125-gallon sump · LED reef lighting – Aquatraders · Circulation pumps – Jebao and Koralia · Skimmer - Octopus · Return pumps – 2 Pondmaster mag drives · Hundreds of pounds of rock – I have dry rock too if you want it · Livestock – 2 ocellaris, Aiptasia Filefish, Lunare Wrasse, Koran Angel, Niger Trigger, Long Spine Urchin, miscellaneous corals. The tank is currently a mucky mess, I had the skimmer go down for a bit before I was able to replace the pump (first two pumps I got were back ordered and never shipped, ridiculous). The algae came with a vengeance and hasn’t went away. I really just don’t have time to keep up with it. I will NOT deliver it. I will send more pics video etc. as needed, but the breakdown and move is on you; it’s a beast so bring help. Feel free to call or text (541) 233-e1ght tw0 zer0 e1ght I am located in Waldport just outside of Newport, OR. Image views: 1 Current view 2 Former glory 3 Current setup before algae 4 Sump view Pete
  2. *UPDATE* So I was a bit torn with the differing responses that I've had here and on other (RTR) forums. I still feel like it was lymphocytes. However, someone seemed to really to really think I should continue the copper, which I did. The fish really got to a point of showing no signs, and then I added copper for 30 days. Still no signs (which I thought for sure I would see after adding copper if it was lymphocytes) after the 30 days of copper (cupramine). Anyhow, I moved her into the display and she is doing great. 3 days in, no signs of anything coming back yet. She has fit in with the group, and everyone is getting along great.
  3. First off, thank you all for your input. I have taken your advice and posted on R2R. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/lymphocystis.257461/ I will also take KeanuReefs advice and not overreact. I will just do my best to keep water quality up and minimize stress. I have looked at some pics of lymphocytes at it does look like the closest fit that I've seen. I will update if anything changes. Thank you all again!
  4. Hi guys, It's been a while since I've been on here. I have a juvenile Koran Angel in QT, he's been in there for about 2 months, and has been unable to kick whatever the heck is wrong with him. I originally had him in QT with 2 butterflies. He has been alone for the last 7 weeks. I didn't notice much wrong for the 1st week, then it started showing. Fish is being kept in 12 gallon tank with HOB skimmer. Skimmer is not running, just using it for filtration, have some chaeto and filter pad in it. No other tank-mates after week 1. Fin deterioration and bumps on the fins mostly darker colored and look to me like a fungus. I have treated with: *Cupramine 1st week only. *Prazipro for almost the whole time in QT. Then I did a large series of water changes to get the water super clean again. *Maracyn Two, twice, (the second time (admittedly I over dosed a bit, 1 extra dose). I have also freshwater dipped twice for about 7 minutes each. This fish has not gotten any better, only progressively worse (pretty slowly over the whole period). Not sure if my water tests are all accurate due to chemicals that I am dosing with. But levels are: Specific Gravity 1.023 Nitrate: 5 ppm Nitrite: no trace Alkalinity: 230 PH 8.3 Copper gone, cleaned out with carbon after 1st week. Have not tested phosphate, but very minimal algae growth in tank which catches ambient sunlight from several windows. I'd be happy to hear any suggestions on what to try next.
  5. Yes, well... Redmond anyway. However, I'm moving to Newport and will be traveling back and forth quite a bit over the next couple of months. Can possibly meet somewhere between.

  7. Just unpacked it, I think it will be very difficult. I might not try it. There are actually four switches, four drivers, four power cords. However, each driver runs 6 blues and a bunch of whites. I am thinking the only way would be to run all of the blues to one driver, which would be on one switch, but that sounds like a little much, because then I would have to split up all of the whites that are currently on that driver to the drivers that I pulled all of the other blues off of.

  8. Hi guys, I am once again humbly asking for your expertise. I just bought this light: http://www.aquatraders.com/EVO-Quad-72-LED-Reef-Bright-p/56239.htm I noticed that there is one switch for blue+whites and same switch for just blues or off. Anyone know if I can just add another switch and rewire to new switch and add a power wire to have separate timers for whites/blues?
  9. How did you like Golden Basket? I have been thinking about ordering from them.

  11. LOL, I used to do a little bit of rap-metal, but I've always been in bands that were some form of hard rock/metal.
  12. Here's a video that I took recently, still working on getting the colors right it's really hard to get my camera to see the tank how I do, but here it is:
