  1. I'm interested in a bubble tip and the zoas! I'll message you.
  2. Thanks you two. I have everything moved out of the tank successfully, but the sand and it's too heavy for my two roommates and I to lift. So I think the sand needs to come out. I'm thinking maybe throwing out the sand and replacing it with new might actually be beneficial with the pests I've struggled with, namely dinos. Not sure.
  3. I stupidly knocked over my ATO hose and it pumped about 4 gallons of water onto the carpet underneath my 65g tank. Spent hours at midnight last night trying to find a leak before I realized my mistake. At least there isn't a leak? Today I'm tearing down the tank. Moving corals, fish, and inverts to a 10g I had recently set up about a month ago so its cycled (that was just a fluke), even though it'll be tight space in there. Moving rock with coral attached to it to a rubbermaid bin. Then we can move the tank to let everything dry and pull back the carpet to see the extent of the damage. I have extra heaters and an air pump to keep the rock/coral alive in the rubbermaid bin. My biggest question though is the sand. I first anticipated the tank with sand and a few inches of water sitting for several days or more (however long it takes to dry the carpet), but then realized that would mean a big die off of the sand bed. It'll also just be very disturbed from removing the rock. So what should I do? 1. Once I move the tank, put enough water in it to put in a heater to keep the sand alive? 2. Ditch the sand and buy new live sand or move the freshly cycled sand from my 10g? 3. Other ideas? I have 20lbs of freshly cycled live sand in the 10g. I believe I had 60lbs of live sand in the 65g, which is just over a year old. I've been battling dinos, cyano, vermetid snails, and aiptasia. Over the year I've pulled out some sand in the process of getting out dinos, so maybe it's more like 50lbs of sand now. Ugh. A part of me just wants to give up and find someone to take everything away. Ack! Thanks in advance for ideas and sympathy.
  4. @CuttleFishandCoral Do you want a heads up to collect some before I come in? I'm planning to come in on Sunday and hoping to get 6-8 of them. I can also bring you a couple dozen aiptasia from my sand bed if you'd like?!
  5. My aiptasia is rapidly increasing and I'm looking to get berghia nudibranchs or borrow an aiptasia eating filefish. I'm in SE Portland and willing to drive a bit. Let me know if you have any leads as local would be preferred to buying online. Thanks!
  6. You have some really nice coral!
  7. Yes please! I'm needing one soon as I can't get mine put back together after cleaning without leaking. Online they are about a week out with shipping so I'd love to buy local if you have it. Thanks!
  8. I'll put my two tickets on the Icecap Gyre ⛄
  9. I'm going big! I just sent you $60 and all of my tickets go towards the generator. So I think that's a total of 35? Thanks for organizing!
  10. Sorry I missed this! I just enabled notifications so I won't miss again. I'll get back in line for the one for LEDs. Thanks for coordinating.
