Gone.

Dennis

I have always used straight muriatic acid i

Holly crap! Brave man! (scary)

Dennis

Well that's too bad, we need an UNDERWATER torch! That would come in handy!

Dennis

Ya, I know about the majano wand, I was wonding about the "torch" that garrett uses.

Dennis

Kate' date=' I really like to use my torch on those pesky buggers. As long as other corals aren't too close it works pretty darn well [/quote']

 

Is this an underwater torch or some sort?

 

Dennis

Trade for a frag? (That's a frag from you to me...LOL...just to make things clear )

Dennis

Comes with everything for install. Three line filters, ac cord, ethernet cable. Call me at 503-758-1705 if interested.

Thanks

Dennis

How did you like the way he pronounced "Acropora"?

Same way Eric Borneman pronounces it.

Dennis

PS: Don't the reefs in that area look particularly dense and extremely healthy?

Glad everyone liked it. It is pretty cool.

Dennis

Found this video. Not sure if everyone's already seen it already. Some of the richest reefs I've ever seen. Also some good info for all levels of hobbiests.

Thank you!

Dennis

It is a cool looking coral but...it looks like any other blue milli. $50 per inch? WOW...Interesting.

I doubt that THAT one really looks like that.

Dennis

PM sent on 8 head piece.

Dennis

If they are solid bright green, I would be interested. Do you have a pic?

Dennis

I'll take the capt. America and the Space monster. Sending you a pm.

Dennis

I used liverock from a previous tank and didn't really take a lot of time transferring it over. So...now I blame the tank size.

Dennis

Ya, it would have been. Trying to aquascape a 60 gallon cube SUCKS! Very challenging.

Ya know what else? Sometimes, very rarely....these reef tanks can get a wee bit frustrating. It's rare, but it happens.

Ric is doing really well. He is all snuggle up with the floridas.

Dennis

Cancel! Sorry.

Dennis

I have the below 3 colonies for sale. I want all 3 sold at once so, I priced them right as a package. The first one is a large ORA bird of paradise colony. There appears to be some tissue recession on the bottom. Not sure but it might be because that part is shaded or the zoas were bothering it. The second colony is a lavender acro and the third colony is I believe, an acro tenius. Come out to Fairview and pick them up. Give me a call at 503-758-1705. Im right off Marine Drive. Will be around tonight a while or tommorrow. Would like gone asap.

Thanks

Dennis

Toby, do you have an overall pic of the tank you can post?

Dennis

How old is the tank? How long have the sps been in it? Are they colonies or frags? If you are not using GFO, I would definitely get that going. Be careful with the GFO if just starting out with it, it is powerful stuff. You might want to simultaneously start lowering your alkalinity to around 8 dKH to get it more in line with a "low nutrient" tank. How are you supplementing Ca and Alk? Ideally, IMO, a Ca reactor is the best for this if your tank is mainly SPS. If dosing two part, then dosing pumps dosing maybe 10 times a day is ideal. There is a little acronym I like to remember; "SPS" stands for, "Stability Promotes Success". Keep everything consistent. The other thing I would suggest is adding some actinic lighting. My preferred actinic supplementation is VHO using the URI Super Actinic R bulbs. Put a couple of them up there some how. Maybe mount them with a reflector off of your pendants. Kind of like "wings". Then just sit back, be patient and watch that tank take off.

HTH

Dennis

Whoa awesome! Pump looks well built as well def seems like an outstanding company

Agree, that pump looks incredibly well made. Good job Dolphin!

Dennis

Yep, you're right, it's an acro.

Dennis

Absolutely beautiful. Great job Frank!
