I am moving to my new house and don't want to take everything with me. I have lots of stuff including a 92 gallon corner bow, and a 3 ft long 90 gallon tank. I also have live rock for $2 a pound, protein skimmers, and all sorts of other stuff.

I can accept credit and debit cards.

Come keep me from having to pack all this stuff to my new house.

2559 Moon Mountain Dr. Eugene 97403 from 11 AM - 5 PM

sent you a pm

You have a pm on the livestock

No worries. Yeah they are hard to come by and that is why I am pretty firm on the price. I don't really want to get rid of it but it has been sitting around in my garage so long and I don't know for sure when I will get around to setting it up. It will make a great tank for someone or me eventually.

Actually Oxx155 this tank is not the one you used to have. I bought it from someone up in Portland more than 2 years ago.

What you really have to look at is keeping your temperature up. I am assuming you don't have heat without power so your water temperature will be dropping and you will only make it drop faster by agitating the surface of the water so you don't want to do it too often. As the water temperature drops the ability of the water to hold oxygen increases so basically the farther your temperature falls the less you should mess with your tank. Oxygen is easy to add to the tank even without power heat is not.

Have you checked your magnesium levels?

Unless he has been very busy lately I would say that it is probably not open yet. When I was up the other day there wasn't any water in those tanks that he wants me to take off his hands lol.

Thanks. They opened right up in my tank and are super happy.

Not a problem. I need to get more stuff started out in the greenhouse.

I might be running up to Portland again this weekend so I might be able to pick it up then but I am not sure that I am heading up there again yet. I don't want to leave you hanging on it if you can sell it to someone else.

Hello Mike.

Coming to Eugene anytime soon? I want one.

If you want to avoid ich in a reef tank you have to start from day one. It requires an amount of effort that most are not willing to put out. First any invertebrate you put in the tank has to be kept in a fish free environment for a period of 30 days or more. The second thing you have to do is to quarantine all of the fish that go in the tank and it is best to use either hyposalinity, copper or both for at least 2 weeks if you are medicating the tank and no signs of ich pop up in that time. If you do this you will never get ich in your tank and therefore not have to worry.

Once ich is present in the aquarium there is one way to kill it in a reef tank and that is to remove all the fish and keep it fish free for a month.

Funny I have never heard you say anything about your problems in Oklahoma until just now and that is probably why the subject never came up it is not like I just go around talking about bad experiences that someone other than myself have had at a game. The guy I know has no relatives in Alabama these were complete strangers that they met at a pregame press thing the day before the game although you think that I am lying.

Maybe you should watch the news a little more because it was all over the news at the beginning of the season about the problems that they have been having with roudy fans and the steps that were being taken to try to keep these incidents under control this year. They also have had a lot of stuff on the news about fans cars being broken into while they were watching the games that probably would have been useful info huh.

I posted links about Oregon maybe you didn't bother to look at them. I looked at all the links you posted and the university was not involved in the incident with the car dealership. It was one of their supporters that were letting the players do things that they were not supposed to be doing and when someone told the University they were the ones that reported it to the NCAA, permenantly suspended the players took steps to self sanction themselves. Here is a new link about the latest NCAA sanctions against Oregon and a detailed report on what was done: http://www.ncaa.org/releases/infractions/2004/2004062301in.htm

Oklahoma is a changed program from when Switzer was head coach. Lets see this link that shows 600 incidents of cheating last year. Look I wish you well but you are just mad that there were some problems with your team this year that prevented them from doing better but come on you can't blame that on everyone else. We can go round and round on this but I don't see the need to waste my time anymore. It is obvious that you will not realize that your team is not perfect.

So you are saying that the head coach doesn't make the decision about who starts at quarterback. Unless I am mistaken it is still ultimately his decision.

As far as the bad behaviour on the part of the fans. I know when the guy I used to work for came up here his son got cursed at and got beer tossed on him. When they traveled to Alabama they met some fans of Alabama that had them over for dinner the night before the game. Oregon had to bring in more Police officers this year to try to control the fans here and they end up ejecting a bunch of fans every game. It has been all over the news here how beligerant the fans get. Obviously we are not going to agree on this but Oklahoma is a changed program over the past while Oregon is on their way under this head coach to being like Oklahoma was under Switzer.

I would say that Tank Raised fish would always be better to have in an ideal world but the problem is the cost of many of these fish and the limited availablity. If you are having poor success with tank raised fish it would probably be due to problems at the location you bought them from. Unfortunately many stores don't have seperate systems to deal with Tank Raised fish so they are exposed to parasites and other pathogens that they have not been exposed to before which can cause problems for them.

I am not denying that the team was good but they were definately not the best in the nation. Oregon will never be the best in the nation if they can't win a single bowl game.

 

I guess you didn't turn on anything related to college football for the last 2 months and Gameday came to Eugene twice in 1 year for sh!ts & giggles. In your opinion they weren't one of the best, thats great. According to most national shows, experts, news outlets, and publications they were. Oh yah, and those darned polls that help decide who is #1, they thought that the Ducks were too. But your opinion trumps those eh.

 

Maybe you ought to try reading my posts. You said that your team was the best in the nation and I said that was debatable and all of those organizations that you are talking about agree with me because they were never #1 in any poll or the BCS

 

I am tired of all the crying about you guys getting screwed out of good bowl games but you can't win the games that you do get put in.

 

There were several people on here including yourself that said a couple of weeks ago that you guys were going to get screwed out of a bid for the national championship before the season was even close to over. The teams that really should complain are the undefeated teams like Hawaii this year and Boise State last year. They go a whole season without a loss and still don't get any respect.

 

 

 

As far as cheating maybe you should rewatch the Oklahoma/Oregon game last year.

 

Well the OU/UO game had nothing to do with OREGON cheating. Those were Pac10 officials paid by the Pac10, comissioned by the Pac10, assigned by the Pac10, hired and fired by the Pac10. Again, NOT OREGON.

 

Your right maybe it was just some big coincidence that the head official on the field just happened to be an old high school teammate of Bellotti and at the end of the game calls like this were made at the end of the game to help Oregon win. After all the Pac-10 officials are the worst in the country but it is an awful big coincidence. Here are the videos that show conclusive proof that not only did the ball not go 10 yards before being touched first by an Oregon player but was never even recovered by Oregon

 

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDtfppxP4Q8&feature=related

 

And as far as your youtube video that you posted the play was whistled dead before the ball came out and it was whistled dead because the guys forward progress was haulted and he was being pushed backwards which is a legitimate reason. So while they may have thought that they got screwed it was officiated correctly.

 

 

But since we are talking about cheaters, and OU has cornered the market on cheating, here is some reading for you:

 

#3 dirtiest program ever -- http://www.cbs.sportsline.com/columns/story/10255471

#2 dirtiest program ever -- http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2007/07/27/footballs-dirtiest-programs-2-oklahoma/

 

Flat out cheaters. There is no way you can dispute it, absolutely no way. And I am tired of OU cheating.

 

Well there is no doubt that Barry Switzer was a bad thing for Oklahoma football but this team is much different now. That incident the other year was something that they University was unaware of and when they found out not only did they kick the offending players off the team but self penalized themselves and informed the NCAA of the problem. The Ducks are far from being clean themselves particularly under Bellotti. Here are some of their offenses as far as NCAA rules:

And now that I have done some research into your team your comments regarding the Arizona State players being a bunch of criminals is incredibly funny. Here is what your great players have done.

 

Even despite the Coach and the Universities best efforts to cover this one up it still came out and then the coaches ex-wife tried to assault the guy that reported this in a press room of another game.

Maybe if Oregon could keep some players from getting arrested they would be able to field a team.

 

 

 

Oregon has no depth. Next year all of these players that have had to play this year will be your team. You want to compare Oregon to other national powerhouse teams these other programs don't just have a good year now and then they are consistent year after year because they don't have one good player.

 

Saying Oregon has no depth shows just how little you actually know about the team. I see you avoided all my questions above, proving you don't know. You must think USC is not deep, cuz they lost 2 games when they had injuries. But that was "stepping up" according to you. I take it you think Oklahoma is FAR from a deep team, they lost 1 player for PART OF ONE GAME and lost. LSU must not be deep, they lost 3 starters and lost 2 games. Oh yah, and Va Tech isn't even close to deep, they lost 2 games and their QB is hurt along with their RB.

 

Perhaps you didn't read in this thread where I said that Oklahoma didn't deserve to play for the national championship game because they couldn't step up when one player went down. The defense didn't play well enough in the first half and they didn't do the things neccessary to win the game.

 

Look i'm not complaining, far from it. We have too many injuries to continue what was a great season, a season that saw us ready to play in the NCG. I've enjoyed this season, it was a tremendously fun ride seeing the Ducks everytime you turn on the TV, computer, or open a magazine. Injuries have ended the run. Thats it.

 

The team had to many convictions to continue the season and your team did depend on Dixon but Dixon was playing during the Home loss to Cal.

 

 

 

If you don't want to admit that your team didn't have the heart to win a national championship that is fine but crying about what happened doesn't win games.

 

Even fans of the team saw that they weren't playing with heart against Arizona. Almost no team doesn't have something to overcome on the way to the championship. It is just a matter of how the adversity is dealt with and I don't think your coach is doing you guys any favors.

 

I don't know if all the other times i've said this came out in chinese or what, but there is not a single team in this country that could overcome the amount of injuries the Ducks have. Plain and simple. That is the reason for the decline. This IS NOT like last year, not even remotely close.

 

Saying they don't have heart, or that they rolled over shows your ignorance. Did you watch the game? Saying those kids didn't have heart and rolled over is a joke, and if you watched the game you know it.

 

Thats the same as telling your daughter she doesn't have heart and rolled over because she had a bad ankle and couldn't compete in the karate competition. You wouldn't do that would you Sean? Its the same thing.

I am not critizing the players that were injured but when someone goes down the other players have to step up and that did not happen. I did watch the UCLA game and it was a horrible performance from a team that was vying for the national championship at one point in time. Dixon showed heart trying to take the field but Bellotti should not have let him make the attempt. They should have taken the week when they knew about the injury to get Leif ready to play the game and figuring out what they needed to tweak to make the offense run with him instead of Dixon and that obviously didn't happen. I am sure Dixon wanted his chance for the Heismann and another million dollars in the pocket but he may have cost himself a high place in the draft by not getting started on getting better from his injury.

It is nice that you are passionate about your team but some realism would help also. They were a very good team this year but they weren't the best team in the nation at any point in time. You really need to travel to some games in the South and then you will understand passionate football. These people are true backers of their teams no matter what and treat other fans with respect. I find it funny because when I joined the air force the Ducks had just played in the first bowl game in I don't remember how long and they didn't get any support from around here. You didn't see anyone wearing team gear but now that they have played a couple of good seasons everyone is a fan. Well when they go back to losing more games than they win next year we will see who is a fan.

I am not denying that the team was good but they were definately not the best in the nation. Oregon will never be the best in the nation if they can't win a single bowl game. I am tired of all the crying about you guys getting screwed out of good bowl games but you can't win the games that you do get put in.

As far as cheating maybe you should rewatch the Oklahoma/Oregon game last year.

Yes if UCLA is able to pull out some miracles they could still win the Pac-10 but I seriously doubt that USC is going to roll over for them like Oregon. Yes there has been some injuries but teams have stepped up and still won games. Oregon has no depth. Next year all of these players that have had to play this year will be your team. You want to compare Oregon to other national powerhouse teams these other programs don't just have a good year now and then they are consistent year after year because they don't have one good player.

If you don't want to admit that your team didn't have the heart to win a national championship that is fine but crying about what happened doesn't win games.

Not a rerun of this one is it?

Yes it was that one. I thought it was very fitting of the officiating I have seen recently.

The Ducks didn't need magic to win that last game. UCLA couldn't put points on the board. They needed to go back to some basics. Run the ball and throw short passes to any one that might be able to catch the ball. You can't expect to win games against good opponents with a 3rd string quarterback but UCLA doesn't qualify as a good opponent and they couldn't even put a point on the scoreboard.

As far as being the best team in the nation at one point in time. That was definately argueable. They could have been the best in the nation if their defense would have played in the beginning of the year but having a one sided football team doesn't make you the best in the nation.

You have to have heart to win a national championship. Every team is going to run into problems through the season but they have to step up and play harder when something happens. Oregon hasn't done it. Oklahoma didn't do it when Bradford went out. Their defense didn't play good enough in the first half and let them score to many points and just didn't get it going until to late in the game. It cost them their national championship bid and well it should have. The national championship is for the team that wants it the worst. That Oklahoma Missouri game next week is going to be awesome.

One problem Oregon had is that some of these easy games that they should have blown out their opponents in like the Washington game they let them score so much they didn't have a chance to play back up players to get them any experience.

On a side note has anyone seen the new Subway commerical starring the Pac-10 official.

Yeah bellotti letting Dixon start with a torn ACL was BS. They set the whole offense up around Dixon and it is just funny watching these slow, slow quarterbacks trying to run the option. You guys must be tired of watching recievers get hit in the hands and drop the ball also. The one deep pass that was thrown right where it should have been the reciever gets hit in the hands and drops it. The only thing good I see that has happened since the beginning of the year is definately the Defense. They are playing 10 times better than at the start but it is too little too late.

Someone needs to tell the ducks that the season isn't quite over yet. The defense has finally started to play this late in the season when they couldn't stop anyone at the beginning of the year but you have to gain at least a few yards on offense to. At least the Oregon State fans have something to look forward to next week.

The biggest thing is going to be producing something that is cheap enough to have 3rd world and developing countries see it as a worth while venture. Otherwise there really will never be an impact on global pollution.

Ethanol also has higher emissions of non greenhouse gasses than gasoline and would actual cause more smog than conventional gasoline. The trains are able to be so fuel efficient because they use big motors to pull huge loads. They don't have to change their speed much in their travels and once the loads are moving take very little power to keep their momentum going.

Solar Power is held back by the efficiency of the solar cells themselves. They are only about 14% efficient need to be about 50% efficient to be viable as a power source. There is some good research going on in this field right now that may have some big breakthroughs soon.

The big thing is that we are just getting to a point where companies and researchers are starting to realize that the first big breakthrough in low impact energy could mean big bucks. It is the almighty dollar that drives innovation and change. If the costs of the energy that we are currently using wasn't so high there wouldn't be this research going on.

If the Pac-10 doesn't seriously do something about the horrible officials something is seriously wrong. When you have an open field tackle where the guys hand is only on the helmet and he gets whipped around there is no doubt their was a face mask penalty you could see it from the upper deck and get that call right. Then another blown call on almost an identical play as in the Oregon State Game. There is a serious problem that needs to be addressed otherwise the Pac-10 just looks like some high school league on the national stage.

Winning national championships is all about heart and playing with adversity no team makes it without getting banged up along the way. When Dixon went out the Ducks gave up and despite Arizona not even playing in the second half of the game could not muster up the intestional fortitude to mount a comeback. I mean really Arizona was beating the heck out of Oregon when they were blitzing the quarterback and in the second half they just let him sit back there and have all the time and opportunity he needed to beat them. All I have to say is they better find a way to pull their heads out before the end of the season, quit whinning about injuries and play some football if they hope to even get to the rose bowl this year.
