Have a large colony of blue stag horn that I need to trim back. How large of a piece would you like?

Looking for a some clean cheato. Need a decent size ball to kick start my refugium after taking it down to dose Vibrant to kill off some bubble algea. 

Thanks. 

1 sold. 

Decided to go hybrid with t5's and will be getting rid of 2 of my Hydra's both are in good shape and work perfectly. 

Asking $180 each. 

Also selling the red sea pendant that will hold Radions, 26hd or 32hd. If you take both, I'll throw it in for free. 

Thanks.

Just got the chance to get one off my anemone island. When open it is 6"-8" across. Has great color. 

Asking $40. 

Thanks.

Bumping before heading to the fish store tomorrow. 

I have been growing this Acro for about the last 3 years and am finally needing to trim it back because its almost 12" across and covering others. 

It looks very similar to pearlberry but I don't know for sure. It gets blue/purple tips and a light green base when in a lower nutrient tank. I have raised up my nutrients about 6 months ago and now have a deeper green with a purple/brown tips. I keep it under 350 par and high flow. 

1 - $30 - 1.5" - 4 growing tips

2 - $40 - 2" - 7-9 growing tips

3 - $60 - mini colony

Open to trades as well. 

I am terrible with pictures and can't take a decent picture of my frags to save my life. Mother colony is in the first picture. 

Have had this in my storage for far to long and have no use for it. Since I have spare LED’s as well.

Comes with hood, ballast, cords and all lights. 

Just tested it all and everything works perfectly. 

$40 or trade  

I have a classic display. Feel free to PM me.

I have had my Powder Brown for about 1 year to 1.5 years. I would guess it's 4" long.

It went through full QT. I don't add items to my tank without a long QT and I don't think there has been a new addition is 8 months or more. I haven't ever had an issue with ick. It is a very heavy eater and has been great at cleaning up nuisance algae around the tank. It gets along with the other tangs and hasn't gone after any of them but a couple weeks ago it decided it hated my rabbitfish and my wife prefers the rabbitfish, so to a new home it goes. 

I feed LRS and Nori daily and its a hog. 

It's already in a acclimation box and ready to go. 

Asking $80. 

My powder brown has decided to hate my foxface, so need to find a new home. 
 

tried a few things to get the aggression down but hasn’t works. 
 

He is 4-5” and is a great algae eater. Pretty much keeps my rock spotless. He eats red tuff algae for sure. 
 
I follow struck QT, so can be pretty sure he is clean.

Price drop to $220

Already pulled from my fusion portal and ready to go.

The probes are about year old. I think it was 7/2020 but were working correctly when I pulled them. Never really bothered with ORP since I don't use ozone.

I purchased this apex in 2018, happy to include the invoice from BRS. Feel free to pull it in and test before you take it. No damage or rust to any of the plugs.

Everything works perfectly. I just replaced it with a new Apex and no longer have any need for it. The PH and ORP are still wet, but I can't say how much life they have left in them.

Included:

Orange Apex Classic

EB8 Energy bar

Apex display screen

Temp probe

ph probe

orp probe

aquabus cable.

Asking $220 for everything.

Thanks.

To anyone that read my first post.

Everything is back to happy this morning.

I thought for sure I was going to loose my miyagi, oregon, and cali torts but they just slimed up a bit. Only real damage was the birds nest colonies, there is a pink, green tip, and WWC birds nest all mixed together. The return line blasts the middle to get movement inside of it and it just burned them pretty bad. Going to pull them all and frag them to save what is left.

Killing that return quickly is all that saved the tank from a full crash. I tested the sump water before sucking it all out. It was 7.0ph and 20dkh. The main tank was still at 8.2ph, down from 8.3, and alk just jumped to 10.5dkh from 9.5dkh.

First close call in over a decade. I have kalk dosing now to keep it up until the new reactor arrives Friday. 

The reactor was oldest of all my equipment and was up for replacement when the Octo cr140 was back in stock. Just needed it to make it 1-2 more months but oh well.

Doesn't sound like you missed anything.   You could have taken the CaReactor completely out of service, and changed/check it there... But how would you have known it would split a seam later.   Sounds like a fluke.

Felt like a perfect storm. Usually the return pump would have been off when working on the CaRx but the return was on the new apex while the CaRx was being switched over.

Just checked the tank and looks like the only damage is a giant birdsnest colony. It is in front of the return line and got a direct spray of effluent. middle melted so guess ill be doing some major fragging...

Also anyone using the aquamaxx ctech t-2? I am concerned it will be undersized as it just says up to 500 gallons instead of demand break down.

Wanted the CR140 but is on back order with expected delivery of November and I'm not sure about running it in sump.

So I cleaned up my controller today and installed a new board. Before everything was under the tank and just a mess. Also installed a new apex to replace my old apex. 
 

Everything went well until the final step. Had to pull the ph probe from the calcium reactor. 
 

the calcium reactor failed to reseal around the probe and was shooting effluent everywhere. 

By the time I got it sealed, the reactor had dumped 1/2 cup of effluent into the tank in 10 seconds. 
 

Then it decided to give up completely and started dumping effluent out of the side seam. It was where the main chamber connected to the bottom base. 
 

I’m guessing by the time I got it out 1/2 -2/3 of the effluent had dumped into the sump. With quick thinking I killed the return pump but some more effluent made it up to the main display. 
 

I had the CO2 off for about 4 hours before starting the process. 
 

Spent the last 4 hours draining, cleaning and refilling the sump with fresh mixed water. 
 

Final tests showed alk jumped from 9.5 to 10.5 from the first/second failure. 
 

Have a new reactor arriving Friday and dosing kalk to bridge the gap…

anyone have any ideas on what I might have missed to help mitigate this disaster? Next time sump is set to shut down when calcium work is being done  

Fingers crossed it’s ok.

Price please 

Honestly not sure what to ask. Thought a trading would be interesting.  

I don’t go to fish stores but maybe 4 times a year and havent bought a coral in years. So don’t know current pricing.

Tried sending you a pm but it won't go through,i have a 3 head branching splatter hammer and some other in Vancouver wa near the mall

Sorry inbox was full..oops. 
 

if it’s a green variety I wouldn’t be interested as I have a large colony.
 

Feel free to PM me now. 

I’ve had this colony for many years and finally no longer have a place for it. 
 

The rock is about the size of a softball maybe a bit bigger and pretty much covered. I would say 6”x4-5”

One side is sunset monti and the other is ORA Tricolor that is starting to grow into branches.
