  2. I’m posting this ad for my parents, who have decided they want to get out of the hobby. The tank has been running for several years and is very well established and stable. With the oversized skimmer, refugium, and phosphate reactor it’s been a very low maintenance, trouble free system.

     

    At this time they are not willing to part out anything, and want to sell this as a complete package with all the livestock. The tank is located in Hockinson, WA. If interested, contact me and I will get you my parents info.

     

    Asking $450 for everything.

     

     

    Equipment includes:

     

    40 gallon breeder display tank

    Very nice black pine stand

    29gal sump/refugium

  3. Really depends on the size if the tank. What size is it? I haven't tried it but I don't think a studfinder will work thru the plywood. You may want to just climb under and take a look. You can see what direction the joists run and if they are dimensioned lumber or an engineered wood product. Ideally you want the tank to run perpendicular to the flood joists so the load is spread to mutliple joists

  4. Hey everyone sorry for the confusion. When I posted this I forgot that I changed my location from Vancouver to Kirkland. I recently moved up north but my parents, and the pipefish, are in Brush Prairie, WA (just NE of Vancouver) and not Kirkland. Much closer for those of you in OR. Sorry again DOH!

  5. defigart - They are definitely a male-female pair, the males have small ridges on their snout and the females don't. Also, two males won't tolerate each other even in a large tank

     

    Nyles and Siskou - They are rare and really cool little fish. If you are interested, you might see if your LFS can get a pair. I got these from SWF a while ago.

  6. My parents are swapping out all the rock in their tank for cooked rock and are temporarily breaking it down. I'm helping then do the transfer and we decided to put their pair of Bluestripe Pipes up FS. For those that don't know about blustripes they are flagfin pipes that do great in reeftanks and handle highflow no problem. They are awesome fish and its really interesting watching them interact. They voraciously eat full sized mysis, cylopeeze, and arctipods. My parents don't feed frozen very much and with the new rock in the tank they may not have enough pods. So they are up FS. I would like to get $50 for the pair but am open to offers, especially if they are going to a good home.

     

    I don't have a recent picture but here is an older one. They are larger know but you get the idea.

  7. For that size tank I also think T5s are the best option and they give you a lot of flexibility of color temp and par with diff bulb choices. But I wouldn't say the electricity savings would be huge. 6 39w T5 bulbs are 234w total, which really isn't significantly less than a 250w halide.

  8. I just moved up North and have been pretty dissapointed with the fish stores up here. Barrier Reef is Renton has a great selection and semi-reasonable prices but other than that I wouldn't say stores are worth seeing. But if you want to see a few there is also Saltwater City in Bellevue and Bue Seirra in Issaquah. Reefers in the Portland area really are lucky to have the number and quality of stores they do.

  9. Yea Scott I saw your setup and absolutely loved it. That's one of the main reasons I started thinking about the 20" height. I haven't thought too much about how tall the stand will be but I would like to go on the taller side. I really the look of the Elos stands and am thinking of doing something similar. I would like to have one of your steel stands but i'm on a finite budget so a diy wood stand is looking good. It is def not cheap to live up here so this will be a basic settup for awhile (sad). Eventually I would like to get a couple vortecs but for now I'm going with 2 modded Tunze 6025 and 2 Koralia #2s. That could change but its the plan for now
