  1. Sounds great! We live in Central WA but I'm hoping once cherry harvest is done we can make a trip down to Portland to take my daughter to the zoo and get away! I'm not sure where you are located?
  2. Also, thanks for the offer of a couple starter Frags. We are farmers, and so when cherry harvest is over I was hoping to take my daughter down to the Portland zoo as a little family break. Maybe we could stop by and bring some cherries as a thank you!
  3. Thanks! I bought a coral dip yesterday and a reef test kit. I was also thinking of taking some water into my LFS so I could compare their results to mine and make sure I was testing correctly. I was looking at candy cane and hammer coral, so I'm glad I'm on the right track. I need something easy and not too expensive.
  4. Thank you! I went to a local store and bought a reef test kit yesterday. I was looking at mostly softies since they appeared to be the most forgiving. I'm not set on a specific look though, because I didn't know what was reasonable with my current skill level. Haha. My current setup is what I purchased from Matty for my daughter's birthday. 30 gallon IM tank and stand. Nanobox mini light. Ghost skimmer, rotating spin nozzle and additional wavemaker.
  5. In March I set up our tank, cycled and slowly added fish. Everything seems pretty stable and ready for corals. Opinions on where to start? Helpful resources? Any advice you wish you would have known starting out? Thanks in advance! I appreciate all the help I've received here! You all are awesome!
  6. Can someone point me in the direction of where I can pay for a family membership?
  7. Dang, I saw one on Craigslist a few weeks ago, but I can't find it now. If I come across it again, I'll send the link your way!
  8. Thanks to Matty, I found my tank! Incredibly thankful and excited to get the tank cycling. This post can be taken down.
  9. Thank you! That is so generous! We are planning on taking her to the Portland zoo in about a month for a late bday thing, so maybe we could swing by on our way back home! She will be so excited to watch her tank grow!
  10. I have been struggling to find a tank and equipment in our price range for a long time. Found avenues, they fell thru. I registered for PNWMAS yesterday and have been amazed by the help and encouragement here! You guys are awesome! Thank you so much!
  11. Thanks! Crossing my fingers and checking Craigslist daily! Haha
  12. I am from Central, WA. I was hoping to get a tank before my daughter's birthday, so I've been open to driving, so long as it's a time I can get help with my kiddo. Crossing my fingers! Thanks for the heads up!
  13. I was hoping to find a 30-40 gallon tank. (I'm partial to Innovative Marine, but not picky). Skimmer, wave maker, LED lights.
  14. Very cool build, what an awesome way to make the tank a part of your home. Sad about his wife....
  15. So, years ago I decided I was going to start a tank! Saved up, dog got sick, vet bills = starting over. Saved again, daughter was born, hospital bills = starting over. Found a used tank on FB, driving an hr to get it, get a message while I'm on my way, they sold it to someone else. Find another tank on Craigslist, guy flakes. One day, I'll get my tank, and I'm ready! Haha.
  16. Would you mind messaging me what you are looking to get rid of? I am on a budget but trying to put a tank together for my daughter, so maybe I could purchase some items? Thanks!
  17. Looking to buy Innovative Marine Tank 30 or 40 gallon (stand optional). Hoping to find AI prime or hydra 26. Mid size ghost skimmer. IM media reactor and various other equipment. I have found this tank twice (once on Facebook and once on Craigslist) and both times it fell thru. (They sold it while I was driving to go get it.... And, the second guy apparently wasn't sure he really wanted to sell it). Hoping to find it soon as my daughters birthday is coming up and I've got everyone excited only to have it fall thru too many times! Thanks!!!
  18. IM makes a magnetic refugium light, can't remember what the cost is though.
