fly guy

are you sure he isnt just happy to see you??

Doing well. Thanks. You?? As far as the fan........ou drive a hard bargain Blaine. No steelhead for you, but I will throw in the stepdaughter, and $100.

Ill trade you my wifes chihuahua for it

have you moved ryan?

How about we do this......Next time I come over I will bring over few good sized frags of colorful ora pieces and when I get there we will figure out a very small piece we can cut off that wont affect the coral much. I just need a smidgen. I was just playing(kinda) as far as raping your poor coral. Not that I wouldnt , but you really dont want to mess with that thing too much at this point. It has great encrustment and is ready to take off for you.

no, Im not in Bend anymore. I live in the sticks near Goldendale now. I get to Portland every week or two though and i would be glad to come over and cut that sucker for ya. Heck, let me lop off that entire 1.5" frag shown and either let me keep the encrustment or the frag and Ill load you up with a handful of like size frags of the ORA usual subjects in trade......pink, rose, and blue millis, blue digi, miami orchid etc. That poor frag of yours is just cringing as i speak eh??

is that a current pic?? doesnt really look quite fraggable yet, but if you want to cut it already Im game. what do you want for how much of it?? sale or trade? Im game for either, although if we have to ship we will need to add more than that to the trade or sale. what else you got?? what are you looking for? where is ridgefield??

Anybody here have this coral??

sorry...Im still here and interested...especially since you said trade pm sent

looking for one get in touch if it describes you

so both are in near new condition?? If so...I will take the pair and the weldon I cant pick up immediately...but I could paypal immediately and get with you in a week or so...or simply email you a prepaid fed ex label if you dont mind throwing the stuff in a box and shipping it to me

c'mon...somebody buy this POS. $1500 for all I listed including all livestock and rock Otherwise...I will just keep it for the sweetest QT tank ever Im really not serious about including the livestock

afterbirth FTW

no it is a endless series of unfortunate events and will never change until everything is perfect and then you kill everything....repeat

for the tonga branch I am looking for pieces that are a minimum of 8" long and at least 1" in diameter. longer and fatter and multiple branching the bigger the better but branching not mandatory. Non branching pieces are ok too. The MI stuff I am looking for is the stuff that hasnt been available for some time......in fact I dont think I have seen it available retail ever since I have even been in the hobby It comes in hunks that while very different...could be described kind of like the hunks of tonga that look like a bunch of branches conglomerated together, but it is much better rock than tonga as far as density dead or alive is fine. Just as soon find dead as you probably wont want as much for it Am willing to trade for corals, buy with cash OR willing to trade for some very well cooked and live Marco fiji rock. Ive had it cooking for well over a year. This cooked rock is not for sale, but I will give some up in trade for the above. thansk and let me know what you have

the title of this thread is the funniest Ive ever read in a feedback forum

Thanks ryan. we have gotten in touch

oops....... be careful when you are writing a pm to someone and are using a open window as scratch paper...........

If I recall......I remember hearing aobut someone on this site who was building some nice steel stands for some people I would like to talk to him if anyone knows who I am referring to

I dont know how much water that return pump of yours moves, but I have powered a cl280 and similar along with a return and a small canister filter on several different systems with a mag 12, including my current 90 and the return flow is perfect There is absolutely no point in moving any more water through yoru sump thatn your skimmer can process in the first place. if you do you are just diluting the dirty water with clean and cutting your skimming ability short. I bet you are fine and better off as is than trying to upgrade jmo

Hi Daniel Just thought I would add....... I could also be interested in simply keeping my 8 way and hammerhead, leaving all plumbing and saving you from having to plumb the tank for nothing more than the replacement cost of the unions, ball valves and bulkheads. That way the new 8 way and hammerhead you buy would simply be plug and play

how large is your PB and is he for sale seperately???

selling the tank I documented some in the following thread. http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1456149 Tank is a custom Envision Acrylics with an toothless external coast to coast overflow- the only plumbing that comes with this is the dual HG B overflow piping and drain lines to sump. $400 for the tank. I could be persuaded to sell the tank with the closed loop, but will need $1300 for the package. Im fully aware that isnt a great deal, but it is a fair deal copnsidering I would just as soon keep the hardware and would need to replace it if it does sell. By the time you are done building the closed loop and omniflex nozzles as I have it the loop will have have cost you well over $1200. This barebottom system does not need detritous siphoned out anywhere with the exception of a couple of spots behind the spraybars. Everythign gets suspended and up ijnto the water column eventually making it to the C2C overflow and to the skimmer for permanent removal. Fully directionally controllable low profile omniflex nozzles can be aimed wherever you like randomly and variable from 8 different directions in the tank, without a powerhead in sight. sump is a custom 40 gallon, with a RS 180 skimmer- Ehiem upgrade. The body is actually an older rs-80, but I plugged the original hole, and drilled it higher for a larger pump and added the Euroreef needlewheel on a ER modded eheim 1262. I want $250 for the skimmer/pump. It may sound high for an older modded ER but you can price that ER modded pump and see I am throwing in the skimmer for free. The pump is a little over a year old This skimmer sitting in this sump simply doesnt need touched.......ever. Set it for how wet or dry you want it and it just chugs away. If any of my future plans could ever use anything this small I wouldnt be selling it. anyway.... $125 for sump $250 for skimmer $375 for sump/skimmer package and all return plumbing including a mag 12 return. Return pump is plumbed to power a chiller and a small canister filter with additional ball valves off of the retun line. Mag 12 return is not for sale seperately. I am just throwing it in to anyone who wants the package as they will not need anything else below the tank for the sytem to run. Stand and canopy are more or less crap. They are way way overbuilt and in their day were furniture quality stuff.......but that day has long passed, and it is only really good if you planned on having it in a fishroom or basement, as you surely dont want it in your living room. Or at least I wouldnt. There are no doors or side panels to the stand, and no doors on the canopy and the thing has been used and abused. This is the 4th tank I have had on it, and I didnt aquire it new so you can imagine. I will gladly give them to you if you want them with the package, but either way it does not affect my asking prices. No livestock nor rock is for sale. If you read the last post or two of that thread you can read what happened to the current starboard/rock support. I have a new piece of 3/4" I just paid $55 for. I just want my money back on it if you wanted it, and I would be willing to cut it to size, place it in the tank so it cannot move nor get crap under it as well as drill it appropriately for yoru aquascaping desires if you wanted to set yours up anything similar to how I have it set up. thanks for looking. This isnt available immediately. Be 2-3 weeks and I can deliver to the portland area as I doubt you want to drive 3 hours into the middle of nowhere to pick it up. one more thing...there is a 1/10 chiller attached to this tank. It hasnt actually chilled anything I dont think for some time. It may even be fixable...dont know. It is at this point a very oversized yet accurate temperature display and single stage controller that will turn on a heater when appropriate. With the entire package this comes for free as well.
