    Hi! Well long story short, my finally growing frag of WD got bulldosed by a hermit crab right into the center of my Duncan colony (didn't think that was possible from where the frag was at) but I came home to find a bleach white frag a hermit in its place. Anyway, I really wanna try the piece again (and do a better job at anchoring it to the rock) so I'm looking for a small frag of WD, even just a fully healed nib would suit me. Let me know if any of you have this (or something similar) thanks for reading!!

    Awesome! I'll keep both of you in mind, being how far and how much I spend on gas, it would cost me about that much just to get up there 😬😬 but if there's No one else closer, I'm gunna try to make it to the meeting at Paradise so maybe I could convince one of yah to bring it there?

    I'm looking for a 40 gallon breeder to use as a sump in my new build, preferably in the Albany or Salem area. Doesn't have to be pretty, just water tight. Or if anyone has a sump that's around that gallon range, shoot me a message! Thanks for reading.

    Right now petco has 10# bags of aragonite substrate on sale for $4.89 and if you choose the pickup in store option you can use the promo code pickup10 for an extra 10% off making them $4.40. This ends up being only 44 cents per pound, which is the cheapest aquarium grade substrate I've ever found from a store.

    If you want to go this rout and have access to a 3d printer, there are a ton of free 3d models of frag racks. This way also enables you to to make it any size, shape, color, etc. that you want too. And will only cost a couple bucks for plastic and electricity. Here's a website that has quite a few: https://m.yeggi.com/q/frag+rack/

    I don't have any recent ones at the moment as I am at work, but I will snap some shots when the lights are on next. I added some whites to the light fixture and a few zoas, a mangrove sapling, 2 peppermint shrimp, a blue legged hermit crab and a tuxedo urchin. The pic here is from a couple months ago.

    It's alright, should've gone with my gut on it. Anyhow, thanks for the prize! But, I'd like to bump the gift to the person who finishes the whole contest though since I didn't quite make it 😊 and maybe if someone ever does any trimming on this piece or a strawberry shortcake I'd be happy to trade some green paper for them.

    Unfortunately I'm out, bought some peppermint shrimp from an lfs who was adamant about them not ever touching corals to take out some aptaisia. Plopped them in the tank and after one week stripped 2 whole acroporas clean of there flesh, which included this one.

    Just picked up one of these frags and they are both very large and have some really amazing color! Definitly worth the price by a ton!, and definitely worth picking up a frag! Thanks again!!!

    I'd definitely be up for getting a frag of that piece! I've never killed an SPS coral before "knocks on wood" and if I can help keep this colony going, I'm all in! The frags I got from you a little while back are doing fantastic as well
  16. NateDawg
    Perfect! That's exactly what I wanted to hear! Thanks!!!

    So I'm planning on using a bluefish mini WiFi controller with the mean well ldd-h drivers for my 180 build. The highest amperage driver they have is a 1500mA one. And I'd need more like 4500mA for the Royal blue channel alone. So my main question is, can you run more than one ldd-h driver off of one pwm channel signal so I can get a total of 4500mA, the outputs of the drivers won't be connected in anyway. I tried to draw a basic of what I want to do.

    @pdxmonkeyboy when were you going to start the thread for pictures and measurements/ when will the official start be for measurements?
  20. NateDawg
    To cut the keyholes, I drilled two holes, the larger one and a smaller one, the third picture down shows this, then I took a compass and drew in lines that connected the two holes together and used a jigsaw to cut out the bits between the two holes, and sanded it down. As far as the acrylic tube, I got this one off of eBay when there was a sale on it, normally $33, but occasionally they drop it too $25. I also call around some plastic shops, I've been able to buy some of there end cuts for just a couple bucks.

    Thanks guys!! Just water tested it for an hour, no leaks so far. I still need to put a ph probe holder on the lid. Not sure where to get one local though. Also need to get a ph controller, CO2 regulator, and a CO2 tank. Anyone ever run just plain old seashells off the beach in there reactor Or is it safer to just go with something like reborn?

    Decided to build my own calcium reactor after doing alot of research on them and ended up with this.I was looking a for a good cost effective build and I really liked the look and simplicity of Geo's reef reactors, but for the size I needed, the price was a bit high, especially since they only came with a.c. pumps. So this one will be able to handle systems up to 300 gallons plus another hundred if a secondary reaction chamber is added onto it. My total cost for everything, including tools and solvent cements was $127.89. (Seems like a pretty good price for a D.C. Calc. Reactor)

    I've used ehiems, and the newer versions of the dc jebao pumps, both are pretty cheap and quiet. The jebao can be hit or miss though, I've had mine running for 3 and a half years and have just cleaned it twice a year and it's kept it's pressure the whole time. But I always keep a spare on hand.

    Paid.

    Awesome! Can't wait!
