I have a 150 gallon Truvu tank with a 50 gallon sump. This is a turn key set up, complete with livestock. I'm asking $2000 OBO. Call for details, 503-547-4310. Phone calls only, please. Sorry no pics.

Dual maristar magnetic ballasts in a homemade alum. box. It comes with everything but reflectors. Brand new 10K bulbs (never fired). No pics at this time, and I'm located out in Newberg. $150.00

I would just use eggcrating. That's what I use when I switch bulbs or change my lighting set up in any way.

I bought a spotted mandrin dragonette, no more flat worms.

A high post count doesn't make you any smarter.

I've had a blue linkia in my tank for over a year. It seems to be healthy, and thriving. I don't do anything special for it.

I make "o" rings out of the rubber gaskets off of the instant ocean 5 gallon bucket lids. You're sealing a flat surface, so it doesn't matter what diameter of O-ring you use. Just cut it to size with a razor knife and use superglue to complete the circle. It doesn't take much superglue, just a little dab. I've had a homemade O-ring in service for over six months without any leakage.

I'm running a dual 400 watt PFO ballast with 15K SE bulbs, with four VHO super actinics.

I've never seen his tank in person. But judging from his website, his methods and presentation look pretty good to me.

I wouldn't go any bigger than a mag 3 for the remora skimmer. Whatever pump you get for a return will have to be throttled back with a ball valve anyway.

I've had the same anemone for over a year, maybe longer. It has split three times. Just feed it, it will split.

Try a web search for the brand of ballast that you have. You will more then likely find a wiring schematic at the company's website.

The best advertising is "word of mouth". Most companies have no idea how much damage a few disgruntled customers can do. All the fancy TV, radio, and newspaper ads in the world can't compare to one of your customers telling someone what a great place it is to go to, and how well they were treated.

I have an indo-pacific sailfin tang. I have no bubble algae in my tank, but I also have three emerald crabs which are known bubble algae eaters.

ROADTRIP!!!!!!! I heard Oakdale is beautiful this time of year.

I'm new to the hobby, can't you tell. =)

I have a 150 with a 50 sump. I also have a garage full of tanks.

Blaine, I don't have anything cool to trade you. How much for a frag of that grape monti cap? =)

I want two frags of that blueberry also. Thanks.

Here's to the biggest trouble maker in this club. The one who will always play the devil's advocate, just to be in the middle of the argument. Happy Birthday, Brandon. =)

Why not buy a bigger used tank. They are all over the place. Check out the classified section, then take trip on over to Reefrontiers. Reefrontiers has alot of people from the Seattle area. You will get more bang for your buck with a used tank, and you might score a complete setup for cheap.

This is a tough crowd anyway.

Welcome. I take it you're not going to the meeting on Sunday. :P

Those little string like thingies are the clams byssal thread. They use it to attach and hold themselves to rocks or substrate, as the clam ages and get heavier it relies on it's weight to hold itself in place. If or when you move that clam make sure you cut the byssal thread with a sharp razor blade as close to the rock as possible. If you just pull it loose from the rock, it could rip the tissue and cause an infection.

Collards is green my dog's name is Blue and I'm so lucky to have a sweet thang like you. Yore hair is like cornsilk a-flapping in the breeze Softer than Blue's and without all them fleas. You move like the bass, which excite me in May. You ain't got no scales but I luv you anyway. Yo're as satisfy'n as okry jist a-fry'n in the pan. Yo're as fragrant as "snuff" right out of the can. You have som'a yore teeth, for which I am proud; I hold my head high when we're in a crowd. On special occasions, when you shave under yore arms, well, I'm in hawg heaven, and awed by yore charms. Still them fellers at work, they all want to know, what I did to deserve such a purdy, young doe. Like a good roll of duct tape yo're there fer yore man, to patch up life's troubles and fix what you can. Yo're as cute as a junebug a-buzzin' overhead. You ain't mean like those far ants I found in my bed. Cut from the best cloth like a plaid flannel shirt, you spark up my life more than a fresh load of dirt. When you hold me real tight like a padded gunrack, my life is complete; Ain't nuttin' I lack. Yore complexion, it's perfection, like the best vinyl sidin'. despite all the years, yore age, it keeps hidin'. Me 'n' you's like a Moon Pie with a RC cold drank, we go together like a skunk goes with stank. Some men, they buy chocolate for Valentine's Day; They git it at Wal-Mart, it's romantic that way. Some men git roses on that special day from the cooler at Kroger. "That's impressive," I say. Some men buy fine diamonds from a flea market booth. "Diamonds are forever," they explain, suave and couth. But for this man, honey, these won't do. Cause yo're too special, you sweet thang you. I got you a gift, without taste nor odor, more useful than diamonds... IT'S A NEW TROLLIN' MOTOR!!!
