will do. ill check with the wifey as soon as i get off work. (her tank lol) although im sure she'll be open to it.

still got these

Got a few frags of zoa's would like to trade locally. Looking for zoa's to trade or maybe some mushrooms that arent green or whatever you might have to trade, we can prolly work something out. We're in the beaverton area just west of Hillsboro actually. Pics below.

Under normal lighting. There's actually 2 frags there, they're just next to each other. One has 7 or so zoa's, the other has about 10. They're not really mounted to anything. They started as random single floaters, and have grown to this on the sand. We also have the mother colony with 100-150 zoa's in a "dome" on the sand as well.

There they are with the flash.

And here they are under actinic.

Should give you an idea of the actual color I hope. There's the small frag in the background as well with 3 or 4 polyps. That would be up for grabs too. They all have new little heads growing too.

ha.. it must be the season. our pair just hatched their first batch. Silly things laid them on the back glass, so no chance of getting those out.

Hey guys, not sure if most of you remember me, been a while since ive been on here. Life takes over sometimes :(. My son was in the hospital earlier in the year and had to go through surgery, and a semi new job and things have been real hectic. But trying to jump back in here now and again

Still got our 2 tanks up and running, everything going really great!!!

Oh, i got this awesome pink BTA from one of the member heres last year and met him in hillsboro by the game shop to trade, i dont quite remember who its was, but if he reads this, just wanted to let you know shes doing awesome!! shes probably 5 times the size as when we got her from you and doing really well in my wifes tanks still. Not quite as light pink as she used to be, but she is still this awesome pink color. I'll try and get some pics up later tonight!

Great to be back though

prolly picky fish.. all the fish i have fed these to, love them

i used my old temp house tank for my chameleon with no issues after a nice bleach cleaning. was a small 10 gallon

hmm.. not so sure after the report i saw on the news about mcmennies dept. of health scores ...

looks good. firefox on a pc everything is good.

i use xm 20k 250w. not bad, but i do supplement with 1 vho 50/50 and an actinic.. balances out pretty well.

almost all the petco's in my area have stopped selling SW animals, except for this tiny one in hillsboro by target. They keep holding on...

ill take both your ric's, do you ever make it anywhere near portland?

i use that boxed SW from petco, best bet ive ever had, and zero issues ever.

nm . . . .

i dont have any live rock all i have is a 20g tank with crushed coral substrate and then i have some pieces of dead coral for ornaments and one clown fish they guy i talked to at the store said itd be fine to put the fish in now i used instant ocean saltmix with distilled water and added water conditioner i have an under gravel filter with power head and a hang on filter and a 100 watt heater

if theres anything else you need to know let me know thats all i can think of at the moment thanks

the crushed coral potentially will cause problems down the road. you need to get live rock in there, however, you will most likely not be able to do it with the fish in there, theres a good chance the cycle will kill it. toss the under gravel filter, nothing but problems in SW tanks. How long did you let the saltwater mix before putting the fish in? it takes normally at least 12-24 hours for saltwater to properly mix. id check your salinity again.

and shame on your lfs for giving you that advice. very very bad of them, but typical.

So the mj250 is larger than the mj1200? seems like that in the picture. I don't know I've never own an mj. Why is the over the tank mount round on that?

 

I need to get me an mj and start some modding. I still have the resin from a long time ago. Haven't had the motivation lately.

i think it's just the distortion from the angle of the pic

pics pics pics

please

thinking about setting one up for my daughter in the not so distant future. She absolutely loves her mom and dads tank, helps clean it, feed the fish, and knows all the names of the animals including corals and algae lol. plus heck, who wouldnt want a third SW tank? :p

I do not want the MH in it. The reason I got one of these was for simplicity. He is only 8 and is just wanting a couple of cool looking gobys and a couple of shrimp. Otherwise I would have bought the 70 HQI version. I really like the fact that it also has a top to help hold in the moisture. Plus it makes the wife happy she was woriied about the other tank with the open top well so was I you never know what a kid might try to put in there

Only now things migth change again and have to find one with the HQI I did not want one due to an open top. I like the closed top as for less evaporation in his room. But after rading a few things this might not work out for what he wants to do.

:p .

sorry.. i guess i was a little vague with what i said, i meant UV glass versus regular glass. That they both block the same amout of UV rays. And NEVER run DE bulbs with no glass. Sorry bout that, guess it did look like thats what i was saying.

cant find it now, but i'll keep looking, i have it around here somewhere.

I'll have to get some more pics later this week...

is it later yet? (whistle) (whistle)

any updated pics?

I was thinking the exact same thing Once a couple weeks pass after talking to someone about which frag I'd like and their address and everything looks good, PMs get deleted

 

(agree)

yeh, but im sure we're overlooking something. Probably having to do with selling and then receiving pm's

was just curious is all :D

trades? i really cant take less cash.. i bought these brand spankin new. just didnt like the color. Im more of a blue kinda guy..

just a question.. why do you need so many?

yeh, quite normal. Our various shrimp molt quite often.

its crazy to see our porcelain crab molt, almost every time i think it's dead.
