  1. this is a XS170 per the person i bought it from on reef2reef a few years ago.  i did some searching online but couldn't find much on this model of skimmer.  i used it on an 80 gallon QT setup and it was more than enough.  I found some information on the XS200 version online and that was rated for a 200 gallon tank so this is obviously rated for a smaller tank. my guess is it would be fine for something up to 120 gallons.  i'll admit the pump and air intake noise combined is loud compared to other skimmers i've had.         

  2. (2) Apex Classics for sale, both work properly just upgrading to a new Apex.  I had (2) of these cause I had two different systems but recently consolidated both systems into one.  

    Black display with head unit and temp probe, asking $125.

    Gray display with head unit, PM2 module and temp probe, asking $175.

    No EB8s included cause i'm keeping them to use them with the new Apex.

  3. i have a single Blue Jaw Tilefish.  I don't have a good picture but it looks just like the one on liveaquaria.  Tried 2 others at different times so i would have a pair but the others jumped out thru light crate.  I was really surprised since they barely fit thru the light crate dried up.   they are considered moderate care but the fish i got were good eaters in QT.  the one i have is a great fish, not aggressive and it eats everything.    

  4. (2) Tunze 6095 nanostream powerheads in good working condition, asking $100 each or $175 for the pair. only selling cause i went with a smaller tank and got smaller pumps. These are the older style pumps with the jumper/fuses which are included.  

    Specifications

    For aquariums from 26-264 gallons
    Controllable* flow rate: 528-2510 GPH
    Energy consumption: 5 to 21W
    Voltage / frequency: 100-240V / 50-60Hz
    Cable length: 3 meters
    Diameter: 2.7”
    Output diameter 1.96/.39”
    Holds up to: 1/2" thick glass

  5. (2) pair of Kessil A Series Mounting Arms, asking $50 for each pair or $75 for both pairs.  i bought a pair of ap700 used and these came with the lights.  i hang the lights from the floor above and don't need these mounts. 

    The Kessil Mounting Arm is a rigid arm that allows your Kessil light to be suspended over your tank by clamping onto the aquariums rim. The mounting arm has an adjustment for height, as well as distance making it a perfect mounting solution for any Kessil light. With its integrated cord channel, there is no more need for plastic zip ties to manage the cables because they will route cleanly inside of the Mounting arm itself.

    Front to back adjustment works for 18" to 24" wide tanks

    Dimensions: 1" x W 12.32" - 15.43" x H 20.78"

    Mounting compatible with:

    Kessil A160
    Kessil A360
    Kessil H380
    Kessil AP700

    I've used the mounting hardware for the use with the Kessil A160, A360 and H380 so those parts will need to be replaced but everything is included for mounting a AP700.

  6. 60" long x 30" wide x 24" tall sounds like great dimensions to me..  i believe that's about 180 gallons.   if i had to do it again i'd change out the standard 180 i have for something wider with external overflows.  i miss a 32" wide tank.  don't go over 24" tall IMO.  Also, your tall so a tall stand to put the tank at a good viewing height would be nice too.

  7. looks like you had great weather.  agree the apex makes me worry less about the tank when we leave.  i don't have the cameras but i like the alerts if something goes awry.  we went to Joseph/Wallowa lake for a quick weekend trip.  lots of driving for a day and a half of being there but the weather was great and we rode the rails.  recommend this if you haven't done it.

  8. that's a canary blenny?  looks like you caught the fish to take the picture?  Can you QT and try to treat with medication to see if that helps it heal?   Sorry i don't really have any advice other than to try that.

    Thanks again Calvin! Nice to see you , your family (including puppy and cat) and your tank! It looks amazing !

    Very creative idea too to get that rounded look.

    Thanks, it was great visiting with you too.  sorry about the yappy puppy.  

  10. i've seen this on hammers and frogspawn but not on a brain.  interested to see what will happen, if anything.  i'll add that it doesn't seem right on a brain and i would be worried if it burst the skeleton would be exposed.
