Anyone suggestions on helping this scoly recover? 

I went out of town for 2 weeks and didn’t get my weekly water change in for about 3 weeks and nitrates got as high as 35ppm.

All the other corals are fine, except some did brown out a bit from the nitrates, including the adjacent scoly. Others seemed to thrive on the higher nitrate. Growth rate overall was great while I was gone. I’ve been back for two weeks now almost, and did a 15% gallon water change last week and a 15% gallon water change this week.

nitrate 16ppm

phophate 0ppm

alk 7.5

calcium 280

sg 35ppm
ammonia alert reads normal

alk and ca are low because I was out of town and the DOS fell behind

Another "+1" to Rudy. Picked up several SPS from his sale last week. Very pleased with the pieces and he tossed in a freebie and gave me some tips on getting my CaRx dialed in.  Now its my responsibility to ensure they thrive... <gulp>!

Asking $50. I'm 6 mins from C&C and can meet there if you prefer.

I actually came here to post my Tunze light and saw this post first. Check my classified ad.

Heya @SuncrestReef, this will be my first meeting. If we can’t stay for the entire time, but would like to be part of the raffle, whats the best window to drop by?

Looking to light a small area, 20x20. Nothing fancy, a tuna blue, older hydra or radion. Maybe a prime. 

Does this guy need a DSB? Could be interested if not.

Ever come in to Portland? I have a like new icecap battery backup v2 that’s only about a year old. I also have a somewhat ordinary hammer frag I would only want about $25 for. That and Benjamin?

I have a couple smaller shipping boxes good for up to 8-10 frags or maybe 6 fish. Free for anyone that wants them I’m near cuttlefish just south of I5 off terwiliger.

Edit: thanks for the correct forum.

Was hoping for a disco soundtrack on dancing queen. 

Thanks for the comments eveyone! I’ll run to Aboy today. 

My koralin reactor that I bought second hand (so it’s not new) has SS screws that hold the top and bottom on. The hardware looked fine when I installed it. But it’s rusting now after a couple months and starting to cause concern. There are screws on the bottom, but need to check if they are rusting as fast as the ones on top that are pictured here. I think out of the water where there is o2 and humidity might cause rust to grow faster than underwater? Or could this be low quality stainless? Never seen rust like this before.

edit: somehow fat fingered the dog into the post. I guess I’ll leave that 😂

Amazing. Take my $$$!!

I hear sometimes injuring the coral can cause a growth spurt. Not sure why they don’t grow like that for so long.

Where u located?

^ ditto

Where are you located?

If SD did not pick this up I might. Off Terwiliger here.

Am I the only dummy who bought the 713? My phosphate was at 0.12 when I checked it yesterday. Yes too high... but thats why I got it 😂

See you tomorrow!

Sold! 

Here are some photos as promised. $200 for the tank to get it moved.

Hello - It is the 50.3 AIO on there. 35.4"×19.7"×17.7"  It has the same foot print as a 40 breeder. 

I hope for your sake you find a buyer that will swoop in for all of it! If you do end up parting it out I would be interested in the Apex BRS, the skimmer, and trident.

I have a waterbox 50 for sale. It can come with a metal stand (not a waterbox stand). 

It has a small chips on one corner but the glass is in otherwise great condition. Happy to fill it for you to see in operation.

Thinking $250 for tank only. The stand was $80 so maybe $50 for the stand? I’ll post pics soon.

Would love to see some photos of anything left!
