YGPM and e-mail on the lights and rbta

YGPM on the 400 watters

The URI Aquasun and actenic. Are they 5 feet?

so it will light 4 5foot lights?

you have pm

I'm getting ready to move and I'm looking to move my tank dry and set it up later. I have 150lbs. Lr that has nice shapes and color. 3.00 LB. All corals are for sale too as well as the fish. Give me a call if interested. Call Rob @ 360-980-1054. I'm looking to have this stuff gone this weekend if possible. Fish are Vanauatu Tomato clowns mated pair for 60.00. another 60.00 for their huge purple Crispa anenome. other various corals will be 30.00 ea. most are sps small colonies. Big Purple tang is 40.00 coral beauty is 20.00 Comet fish is 40.00

Thanks for the invite to the meeting today. And all the frags. I really dig the big green cap. My wife came home shortly after you left and was looking at the cap and asked. What does it do?(nutty) She'll never understand(laugh) . Anyway thanks again for the trade. Peace!(rock2)

I think it depends a little bit on a few factors as to how often they need to be changed out such as bio load, how often you feed, and if you turn off your flow through your socks when feeding so not very much uneaten food get's trapped in them to break down and raise nitrates. Also water volume could play a role in frequency of changeing out your filter socks. Because if you have 130gal. of water in your system like me, or 350gal. like some other reefers. Less water voulume=a higher probability of an increase in trates due to dirty socks. JMO I could be way off. I usually am

Besides, it's more fun to throw money at a problem instead of fixing it.

Yes I agree with that. Now if that money tree would just hurry up and grow.(laugh)

I have a pretty solid deal going on with Izzypop. If it falls through which I doubt I'll let you know. Thanks for the interest.

I agree with you, Ryan. It would remove a "Murphy's law" failure point also... I would be afraid of coming home one day to find 40 gallons of fresh water had drained in to the tank (and with my luck it would happen when I was on vacation. )

 

Still, the water is finding a path from the rubbermaid to the tank when the peristaltic pump should be stopping it. I would still check the pump for a worn out hose or a broken roller or something...

When using a kalk reactor downstream from a ro/di, you need to be sure not to feed full line pressure into the reactor with a valve after the reactor. Frequently, ro/di can still have 30psi after the filters and membranes, which is more pressure than plexiglass reactors were made to withstand. It might work, but it might fail(spectacularly). Careful not to make a plexiglass bomb under your tank. R2R2

No it's draining the 40 gal. Rubbermaid can in the garage. The R/O unit is hooked to a float in the rubbermaid. The problem is I can't figure out how to make a siphon break so that when the aquamedic turns off the flow stops from the rubbermaid to the kalk reactor to the sump. Right now I have it rigged so I open a valve at the end of the R/O line that leads to the sump once in the morning before work, and again when I get home to topoff. I leave it open enough to deliver one drop per sec. in between these times. For now it is working ok but it's too hands on. I want it automated.

Give me a ring and we can finilize a time for you to come take a look.

Yes it is gravity feeding but I never had a problem with it stoping the flow when it turned off. Now it just keeps on running. I guess the easiest fix is to put a float in the sump. Thanks for the link Shaun that looks like a good topoff setup. Not crazy about the fact that it drops 2 in. in water before it's activated though. I'll do more research on it. Thanks for all the help on this evryone.

(rock2) I have a 40gal. Rubbermaid in my garage that has a R/O line running from it through the wall to a Aquamedic parastellic pump that pumps the R/O into my PM Kalk reactor. The Aquamedic is plugged into a float switch from autotopoff.com.. It worked flawlessly for around 2 months. Water level would drop in the sump and the float switch would click on the Aquamedic and it would fill my sump with lime water untill it reached the switch. Now all of the sudden it won't stop. I mean the Aquamedic turns off but it keeps feeding limewater from the reactor. The Rubbermaid is higher then the sump but I never had a problem with it stopping untill recently.

How do you all have your topoff set up? This thing is going to kill my tank if I forget to close the valve manually. Thanks

Sorry I have no digital camera at the time.

I got some really large chunks of rock when I got this new tank that have been almost totally covered by purple Yumas. I'm doing mostly LPS And SPS in my tank so I'm wondering if anyone wants to trade for some frags or bigger chunks of LR?

The two pieces I'm looking to get rid of weigh in around 45-50lbs. I would trade straight across for nice LR or SPS colonies. Their are probably over 40-50 polyps on each rock rangeing in size from the size of an eraser to the size of the lid of a Mayo jar. Really looking to replace these rocks with same size or larger pieces, and a couple frags. The colors are very nice. purple greenish with orange mouths. Sorry no pics.

Why not do a split? Let it grow out 6 months then split it.

Does someone have a picture of any of the worms? I have recently started dabbleing in SPS and don't even know what to look for.

That's nothing. Try a skimmer overflow in the middle of the night draining around 5 gal. into the stand. Good thing I put laminate flooring in my stand when I built it and caulked around the seems. Kept the flood totally contained in the stand but it fried my pump :( Floods Suck!

Love the jellies!

you going to sale the octo 3000? And do you have a Ca reactor? I know the equipment will go last just wondering.

interested in a few of your items too. I've seen your tank. Too bad I diden't know you we're going to get rid of some stuff or we could have worked a trade on the cube. Oh well. I'll contact you soon. Rob

What all do you have left?

I have a brand new 33gal. Oceanic cube. Looking for a bigger skimmer if you have one let me know.
